CS5 - Why are Edit Auto Blend Layers (and Auto Align Layers) gray and not accessible?

I have CS5 and would like to try focus stacking.  I File > Automate > Photomerge with a few photos.  They have been aligned in layers.  I would like to Auto Blend Layers but the function is gray and not accessible.
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you THANK YOU.  As I was doing this I realized you asked me to show my selected layers.  I haven't been doing that.  I thought photoshop would blend all open layers.  Thanks again.

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

    If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

  • Why does my macbook pro 13'' mid 2010 screen turns gray and freezes while connected to external monitor?

    Every once in a while my macbook pro just randomly instantaneously freezes and the screen turns gray and it has only done it while connected to a high res 22'' Dell external monitor (so far). Usually when this happens I'm listening to music and I noticed my music continues to play but the keyboard is totally unresponsive forcing me to manually press the start button until the computer force shut's down. Luckily I havnt lost anything yet but I hate having to restart my macbook pro that way...just want to know if its a glitch in the software or if I have a more serious hardware problem. This problem has occured maybe 4 times since I got my macbook last summer 2010 so its not too bad, im just worried cause these computers aint cheap.

    Duquan,
    Macs can be picky about the RAM which they use; the “Your computer restarted because of a problem” message typically indicates a RAM problem. Since you have a Mid 2009 model, it should have 1066 MHz RAM installed rather than 1333 MHz RAM. If your RAM was mislabeled, then that might cast some doubt upon the quality control which that RAM manufacturer uses. My suggestion would be to purchase 1066 MHz RAM from a reputable manufacturer.

  • *HELP* why are "edit in photoshop" images smaller?

    Ok, for the life of me (I've searched this forum high and low and can't find an answer) I cannot figure out why when I go to "edit in phototshop" my images end up being around 7x13 instead of full size. I always import the images in full resolution (from my Canon 5D).
    Of course I can select the entire catalog and "export" and change the size to whatever I want to but I'm afraid when I'm opening them up in CS5 from LR3 that I'm losing image quality.
    So I guess I have 2 questions:
    Is there an adjustment that will allow me to "edit in" in FULL file size in CS5?
    If not and I save the files in CS5, then I see them edited in my LR catalog and I go to export them and make the image size larger (say 20x30 from the 9x13) that it opened up as in CS5, is there IQ loss?
    Hope that made sense.
    Any help is appreciated!

    You are not the only person who has been confused by this.
    For digital images, the resolution in pixels per inch, or pixels per centimeter, are truly meaningless. They do not affect the exported photo in any way. The same is true for the Edit In ... dialog box. The result of an "Edit In ..." is always a digital file.
    If you are exporting with the goal of printing an image, then you could set the units to inches, and select pixels per inch, and for example, if you wanted to print a 4x6, you could set the long edge in the Export dialog box to 6 inches and the resolution to 300 pixels per inch, and voila you get an image that has 1800 pixels on its long edge, this downsamples the image, and may not be strictly necessary if your image is actually larger than you need.
    A "Better" way to think about this is the following example — my image is going to be printed at 8x10 inches, I want it to print at 300 pixels per inch, therefore I multiply 8x10 time 300 and discover that I need 2400x3000 pixels (or more!) in order to print properly.
    So with the above explanation, I still have no idea why Edit In ... contains a resolution box, as you can always change the final size in your auxiliary editor. Having a resolution field in the Export Dialog box might make some sense in printing situations.

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are a substantial portion of my songs grey?? and not available anymore?

    I synced up and now 1/2 my songs are grey?? whats up with that?

    Go into 'Music', press 'more', press 'Shared' and press whatever computer/device you synced on.  I have had exactly the same problem and stumbled on this solution literally minutes ago.  No need to delete your whole library and reload or re-sync.  Interested to know if it works for you too.  I've still got the same problem with synced home videos and photos but will carry on to see if can stumble across the solution to that too now that I seem to be on a roll!!  Music videos are fine now as well, just home videos and photos not accessible yet.  Good luck!

  • Why are so many movies available in high def for ipad, but not for imac?

    ok. another question, why are so many itunes rentals and movies unavailable in high def for rent or buy on an imac?   i have a 27 inch imac.   and an ipad, and it's funny, it will let me rent a high def video on the ipad, but not on the imac.   it's wierd, i don't get it, because there are movies i would rent or buy on my imac, that i'm not going to buy now because of this. 

    It depends on the contract w/the distribution company. Lionsgate for example has licensed their movies for resale on iTunes, not rental. Paramount allows some movies to be sold(not sure which ones and why) and others for rental, but the standard rental agreement between Apple and the movie studios is that rents will not be available for 30 days after the DVD is released.
    Edit: Well, looking at the AppleTV site it looks like Lionsgate allows rentals also now, but there may be terms in the contract which say which movies can be bought/rented.

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • HT201317 why are some of my photos in albums on my phone but not in photo stream

    Why are photos taken with iphone in "album" but not on photostream? All setting are on.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what are the pixel dimensions of the photos in question?
    did you import one library into another at any time?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Why are edit (Cut/Copy/Paste) controls not active?

    I am new to QT. I am trying to cut up a large mpeg file (created by converting and IFO file from a DVD) into small video clips. However the main editing controls (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, delete and trim to selection) are all de-activated. I don't have this problem with other mpeg files.
    Any ideas why?
    Dell Notebook Windows XP

    MPEG-1 and 2 are playback formats and can't be edited using QuickTime Pro. It can't extract or export the audio portion from these muxed track formats.
    MPEG Streamclip (Free) can convert MPEG to QuickTime formats and can also do basic editing.
    You'll need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20) and the software above to convert DVD (MPEG-2 format).
    The component can't convert or open CSS encrypted (Hollywood) DVD's.
