CS5 64 bit merging HDR image problem

Hello,
I am doing a HDR image lesson (Adobe CS5 Classroom in a Book, page 139) using three .DNG files from the training CD.
If I use CS5 32 bit all (model's face and background) is ok.
If I use CS5 64 bit the image has bad background colors and a portion of the model's face is dark red.
So I a wondering if possibly the DNG was created by CS5 32 bit and cannot be opened and processed in CS5 64 bit HDR?
Note:
Each DNG image looks good using CS5-64 File Open.
I have two jpg if needed to show.

Has anyone tried this on an installation of Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS5.1, with an older version of Adobe Camera RAW installed?
I had this issue reported to me by a faculty member who is attempting to teach this lesson in one of our Mac Labs. She has taught this lesson in the past without issue, but, recently reported this issue. We recently upgraded our photography lab's equipment, which included new iMacs, and updates to software installed in the lab, including the CS5.5 Design Premium suite. I'm able to replicate the issue on all the computers in the photo lab, with the same issue as others described above. I then went to try to replicate the issue on my personal computer with CS5.5 installed, and, surprisingly, the HDR merge worked successfully. The only signifigant difference on that computer was that it was running Adobe Camera RAW 6.6, rather than the current 6.7. I then went ahead and updated the Camera RAW on that computer up to version on 6.7, and the problem doing the merge with these specific files returned as it had in the photo lab.
So perhaps this is a combination of 64bit and Camera RAW 6.7? I can't get the 32bit workaround to work on the Mac's I'm testing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Merging HDR images in Photoshop (going from LR)

I'm not sure whether this is a LR or CS3 question, but anyway:
I'm trying to make my way through Scott Kelby's LR2 guide, but ran into the following when I reached the chapter referred to in my subject line: "Merge to HDR.jsx could not be found". I'm running the latest software versions, and used SKs description as follows:
- shot bracketed photos
- selected them in LR2/Photo/Edit in/Merge to HDR in Photoshop.
Then, instead of displaying my photos, I got the message above. Could someone please tell me what I may have done wrong?
thanks in advance,

I am using CS4 and HDR.jsx is a script in the presets/scripts folder.

Maybe CS3 is missing it??

InDesign CS5 Data Merge to PDF Problem

Hello,
Need to make 2500 tickets, data merging a csv file causes indesign to fleeze up. When I try export to PDF, it creates the pages but does not merge the date, instead it just leaving the data field. What do I need to do to get the numbers to appear on the tickets when exporting to pdf?
Kinda in a time crunch!!
Thank you!!
Mac Pro
2.66 Quad

Mac OSX 10.5.8
InDesign CS5 7.0

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply.
There are no comma's in the csv it is just numbers 0001-2500. The numbers are all that need merging.
When I go to preview, everything is perfect and all the numbers show up where they are needed, however, when merge and export the correct number of pages are generated but the numbers are replaced with the data field (<<nbr>>) instead.
Thank you for your time.

New HDR Image darker than preview

Today I was using Adobe Bridge to combine sets of 3 photos with different exposures to create HDR images and sending them to Photoshop. So far today I made 20+ such images and successfully saved them into PSDs.
I just ran into an odd problem. After clicking 'Merge to HDR' in the Bridge -> Photoshop option, Photoshop did it's thing of merging my 3 images. The preview window came up, it looked perfect, so I clicked 'Ok'. Then it created an Untitled document (as it always does), except that this image is much darker than what was shown in the preview. I tried doing some light adjustments, can't get it to be what I saw in the preview window.
All of my other HDR creations were exactly the same as I saw in the preview window. What's going on?

One important thing to keep in mind is that what you see on screen when working with 32-bit images IS NOT the actual image. There are no monitors at least consumer priced monitors that can show 32-bit's of data. What you are seeing is a faked representation. You will only see the real image when you convert out to 16-bit or 8-bit. Also, many video cards allow you to set 32-bit color in the control panel (Windows, can't speak for the Mac) this is NOT the same thing as a 32-bit HDR image. The 32-bit color is the number of colors NOT the dynamic range from darks to lights it is this dark to light data that can't be seen on monitors. BTW I just recently learned this from a podcast from the digital photography connection. The have Lightroom and Photoshop podcasts and just recently covers HDR for both programs, this was covered as was PhotoMatix. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Once you hit okay in the preview window and Photoshop creates the 32-bit > image, you may want to try going to your view menu and adjusting your > 32-bit viewing options. > > [edited by host] > > Hope this helps! > -Kurt

32 bit HDR Images (Edit in) problems

I'm using Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 64x on a 27" iMac with 16GB RAM.
I have used the 'FILE - PLUG IN EXTRAS - MERGE TO 32BIT HDR' (Photomatix plug in) command to create a series of HDR images, which I have subsequently tone mapped in Lightroom.
Now I want to merge the resulting .tif files in to a panorama, I have tried 'PHOTO - EDIT IN - MERGE TO PANORAMA IN PHOTOSHOP' and 'PHOTO-EDIT IN- OPEN AS LAYERS IN PHOTOSHOP' but neither work.
Lightroom appears to start the process as I get the RAW 7.3 Warning box, I click 'OK' and then the Photomerge dialogue box opens in Photoshop with my .tif files selected. I again click OK but nothing happens.
I have tried closing down and restarting both Lightroom and Photoshop, I have rebooted my iMac but still nothing.
Can anyone offer me any advice or assistance please?

...well I suppose Adobe have to try and keep the money rolling in somehow
That is correct, and I like your attitude .
People who pay thousands of dollars on hardware should not complain too much about hundreds of dollars in software. Complex software takes a huge amount of time to develop and maintain - companies that produce it must get paid for it... - it ain't charity work... profit margin is very thin, not fat (has to be that way to remain competitive). Adobe makes good money by selling a lot of copies, but rest assured: they could not price things much less or accept less income in one place without getting more in another - otherwise they'd go out of business.
Movie and sports stars have fat profit margins - not software companies...
Cheers,

How can I save an HDR image from CS5 back to aperture as a tiff

I cant seem to get the hdr image to save back to aperture from CS5 . The save as box keeps coming up .

I am exporting 3 raw images to PS CS5 , merging in ps hdr pro ( mode 16 BIT , local adaptation ), then doing all the HDR adjustments. When adjustments are done in HDR PRO I click o.k. & it goes back to PS where I do more editing. When I try to save from here , I can not save back to aperture. I have to use save as & save to desk top & then drag bacxk in to aperture

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro . when I am trying to mount 3 images together it act in a strange way ( the images appear and disappear many times) then when the window with the result appear and I say ok it open up in photoshop as a single image ( in the layers there is just 1 photo) and when I am trying to work it up with the Plug in/filter HDR Effex Pro (Nik softwear) a pop up window appear saying that the file is missing and the operation it is not possible. Why and what is happening ? Someone can help me ?

This is normal operation. The output from HDR pro does not produce a layered file. You make all your adjustments in the Nik Plug-in. Once Nik has finished you then make any rinal changes in Photoshop. Trying to use NIK again on the image in Photoshop is not the way to do this.
When HDR pro comes up do you see all the presets and controls? Presets on the left and controls on the right

CS3 and 32-bit (HDR) images

I picked up a book last week about true HDR images - how to make them, how to manipulate them, the pros & cons, all that... The author uses CS3 Extended for his demonstrations. All he really does is use layers, filters, and some of the tweaks in the Image menu - nothing fancy. When I tried my own HDR, merged in Photomatix (basic) and saved, then opened in PS for the fun part, I noticed I didn't have the option of layers at all. I did have the image adjustments and the filters, as I expected. It's just only now occured to me as I'm writing this that the file format (OpenEXR, .exr, using ZIP compression) which I used might not support layers. I can't test that until tonite when I'm home. However, the author does recommend using the .exr or .hdr file formats for the 32-bit images and makes no comment about having to convert to a different file format to manipulate in his CS3 Extended (or at all).
Does anyone here have any experience with the 32-bit mode and "plain vanilla" CS3 - not Extended - and/or those file formats? Is it the file format, or is it a limitation of CS3 basic vs. Extended that I don't have access to layers?
Thanks!

In 32-bit color space you have very limited options in Photoshop. The vast
majority of features aren't available. There is nothing wrong that is just
how it is. Either use the limited tools available or convert the image to
16-bit or 8-bit. HDR technology is still in its infancy. Photoshop with each
version has expanded what you can access in 32-bit mode. But, it is still a
work in progress. Part of the consideration is that a 32-bit image is nearly
twice the size in memory as a 16-bit image and four times the size of an
8-bit. With most computer systems being limited in the amount of memory
available, at least for right now Adobe can allow you to add layers and
stuff that are going to eat up RAM. You are using most of the RAM now just
for opening and basic editing of the 32-bit image as it is.
Once we get in to full 64-bit OSes, lots of memory and real 64-bit
applications things in this area should really change.
BTW the book you mention, cutting and pasting various parts of images to
make one is not a true HDR. A true HDR is one thing and one thing only and
that is a single image made up of several images with different exposures.
Now this may sound like cutting and pasting but it isn't. The end results
look very different. The fact that so many companies and user's choose to
call everything under the sun that evens out exposure in an image an HDR
image doesn't make it so. Taking a single RAW file and adjusting the
exposure to create 4 or 5 different images with what the user considers
different exposure and then using them to create a single image isn't a real
HDR image either. The software from the single oridginal file already saw
the data that was there even if the user couldn't see it. So creating
several images from one is not going to show the software anything that
wasn't there to begin with.

Lightroom 5.5 support for 32bit images from merging HDR in Photoshop CC 2014?

Why is it I can create a 32bit HDR image and make adjustments in ACR, but when I save it, Lightroom can't read it? Aren't they basically running the same engine? Is there a work around?

Which file format do you saving your 32bit HDR image?
From LR 4.1, Lightroom can read 32-bit floating-point images in TIFF and DNG file formats.

Ability to add artistic filters to HDR image created in CS5?

Hi,
I created an HDR image last night in CS5 but it wouldn't let me apply any of the artistic filters to it. Is that just not possible or must I do something else first in order to apply filters? It seems to work fine with HDR created in Photomatix...just wasn't working on the one I created in Photoshop.
Thanks for your help!

As I work around, I found that you can save the image off as a jpeg, then open that version to edit and you are able to apply any of the filters (artistic/brushstrokes/distort, etc.). If anyone knows of an easier way, please let me know.
Thanks!

Merge Digital Images with HDR

A recent issue of PCMagazine, 6/27/2006, had an article entitled "Cool Photo Projects" which explained merging digital images with HDR. It mentioned that Photoshop CS2 will do that. Can it be done with Photoshop Elements 3? If not, is there a workaround that someone can suggest?
It does indeed look like a "cool project".
Thanks. Eva

I didn't know what HDR was, but read about it here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml
Seems to me that there's very little you could do in PSE to emulate this, as it's built-in functionality in CS2.
Having said that, taking a series of identical images, at different exposures, and simply using the best parts is quite possible.

Before/after: LR4.1 for 32-bit HDR images - wow!

I have given the new support in LR4.1 for 32-bit HDR images a try. I'm very impressed.
Here's an old version (Photomatix I think) of an HDR I shot a few years ago:
Not so bad, huh?
Now look what I could do after creating a 32-bit tiff and importing into Lightroom:
The new defringing is awesome to have. The fringes can become so very visible otherwise when making HDR.
I've got all the gory details of how I did this on my blog:
http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2012/05/lightroom-4-32-bit-hdr-editing/
Anyone else who has given this a spin?

Actually, I think I may have been wrong there. I believe I actually used
Photoshop to develop the old version. Even so, I prefer Lightroom's output
to anything Photomatix would produce.

Error in creating an HDR image in photoshop using light room. Help please.

Hi so I am trying to create an HDR image using the latest version of photoshop and light room.
Just finished doing all the steps needed before I select my images and click (edit in > merge to HDR pro in photoshop ) it opens Photoshop and gives me an error saying "Merge To HDR.jsx could not be found." and my files don't open. what does this mean and how do I fix it?

difficult to reproduce. But it might be a data conversion problem.
e.g. try
to_char(a.num_tabs)If that's not the error comment out certain lines or xmltags and test which one is the reason for the error.

Print dialogue box not opening with HDR image

I created an HDR image using HDR Efex Pro 2 a month ago and printed it. It is saved as a psd file. I went to print it yesterday and the print dialogue box won't open. I've tried alt tab to check the box isn't open and hidden. I've re-created the image and the result still won't open. No other images are causing this problem. It's probably something really simple and hopefully someone out there can shed light for me. Thanks

Thanks for that - I wondered about the 32 bit/channel but am bemused as to how I got the first print a month ago!! Now toned which and in 16 bit and print dialogue box opened.
Thanks guys

HDR Pro problem

I upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5 on a
PC. I have viewed several videos on HDR Pro and followed
them but get strange results. I adjust all the parameters I want in a
16 bit version of the HDR images but when I hit OK
it crunches the data and gives me an image that is much darker,
more saturated, and warmer in color. All the videos show the resulting
image for further editing exactly equal to the adjusted image. What am I doing wrong?!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, as Jerry.K points out, it's the Premiere forum for video production. THIS is where you want to start, and choose your platform.
Good luck,
