CS6 Problem - Merge to HDR Pro - "Remove ghosts" Process 2012 ACR7

Hello! I found a problem when creating images HDR of RAW
When using the "Remove ghosts" - the problem is distortion image, clipping highlight and shadows.
File>Automate>Merge to HDR Pro>Sourse files>Browse>OK>Merge to HDR Pro>Mode: 32-16-8 Bit>Remove ghosts - Problem!!!
This is a problem only in the 2012 process ACR7, the process 2010 ACR7 there are no problems.
My system - Win 7 SP1, x64 version CS6.
Sample images:
1. No "Remove ghosts"
   - Process 2012 ACR7. No problem, it's good
  - Process 2010 ACR7. No problem, it's good
2. EV +2. "Remove ghosts".
     - Process 2012 ACR7.  Problem - distortion image and clipping highlight.
   - Process 2010 ACR7.  No problem, it's good
3. EV 0. "Remove ghosts".
   - Process 2012 ACR7.
  - Process 2010 ACR7. No problem, it's good
4. EV -2. "Remove ghosts"
- Process 2012 ACR7. Problem - distortion image and clipping shadows
    - Process 2010 ACR7.  No problem, it's good

I am having a similar problem with Merge to HDR from Lightroom 4 to CS6.
First of all, here is the dark exposure processed entirely in Lightroom.  As you can see there is good shadow detail and no blown highlights:
I
Now here is the image using the darkest and lightest (of 3 exposures) manually blended.  Here the shadow detail is naturally better (although it isn't obvious on the small image shown here):
Now here is the image from HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the darkest of the 3 images.  As you can see there is very bad (practically no) shadow detail (look at the hillside on the left):
Here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the middle of the 3 images.  As you can see the clouds are badly blown/posterised:
And here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the most over-exposed image.  As you can see the sky is completely messed up:    
Essentially unusable for this sort of image.  Hope this gets fixed soon!!

  • CS5 problem: Merge to HDR Pro & Incorrect EV values

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the HDR Pro option on Photoshop but have yet to find a way to circumvent an issue I'm having.
    The game Gran Turismo 5 on the Playstaiton 3 has a photo mode and allows you to edit camera settings within the game and then export your image. Upon opening the images with Photoshop a message appears informing you the file's Photoshop data may be corrupt. You can choose to ignore this and the image will display as normal.
    The real problem occurs when taking photos with different exposure settings and then trying to use the "Merge to HDR Pro" option. For whatever reason, the values embedded in the files are incorrect. I took three photos, the high level photo had an exposure value of -3.0 when viewed in HDR Pro which is obviously wrong, and the normal and low level photos both had a value of 0.0. Obviously these muddled up values cause the whole HDR process to go horrible wrong, as seen here:
    http://i53.tinypic.com/euh7ra.jpg
    The Photoshop support pages inform me that for files with missing EV values, I can set them manually, however there is no such option for files with incorrect values. Is there any way I can alter the settings manually? Either through Photoshop or editing the files elsewhere?
    Thanks for any help.

    It sounds like the game is writing incorrect EXIF data.
    You'll have to edit or remove the EXIF data that provides the camera settings.
    If the EXIF data is removed, then Photoshop won't find the metadata, and will prompt you for the values.
    And if you put the correct values in the EXIF metadata, then it will just work...

  • How do you access "Remove Ghosts" in Merge to HDR Pro (CS5)

    I select two images in Bridge and launch "Merge
    to HDR Pro". In the dialog window, the "Remove Ghosts" check
    box is there, but ghosted. How do I access it?

    Remove Ghosts only works when you use 3 or more images in Merge to HDR

  • CS6 - Merge to HDR Pro fails to complete

    I'm running Win 7, 32-bit and just picked up LR 4.1 and CS6.  I've updated everything to the latest versions.  I'm shooting with a Nikon D800.
    I'm trying to merge 7 pictures using Merge to HDR Pro.  I've tried this using raw files (NEF) and converted JPG files.  I select the 7 files, PS comes up with the first picture showing.  It starts to process the second picture and the filename changes to something like Untitled_HDR1.  After a few seconds, that picture goes away and nothing else happens.
    Have I got my settings screwed up?

    Although you are on Win7 32-bit, this may apply to your issue.
    There are some 32-bit XP-specific issues we're addressing before shipping that are related to memory.
    I'm pretty sure that's the issue you're running into. I'm sorry for the trouble it's causing you.
    Here are some suggestions to work around the issue. In the meantime, we'll work on helping XP-32 & Photoshop play nicely.
    Try a different memory setting (65%-ish. Try to give Photoshop ~1G and leave the rest to the system). Restart.
    Quit unnecessary applications.
    Try quitting Bridge and running Merge to HDR from File > Automate > Merge to HDR
    Other things to test out in the Performance Preference panel
             •  Try a larger or the largest Tile Size - you've got it set to smallest. Not sure which is better for this case.         •  Try lowering History States to 5.  Other, less likely, suspects:
    Corrupt prefs: Reset preference file: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209421#4209421
    Same-named drive: Be sure there is no other directory is named identically to a folder in the Photoshop app path.
    Conflict with "Open Documents as Tabs = OFF" Prefrence (Interface) setting.
    Please let us know what ends up working best for your system.
    Thanks,
    Meredith
    Also, if Remove Ghosts = ON, it sometimes selects an extreme exposure as its base image (noted by green frame around the thumbnail in the dialog). Try selecting a different base image - just click on a different thumbnail.
    Are you still having issues after updating (Photoshop: Help > Updates...) ?
    Do any of these solve the problem for you?

  • Merge to HDR Pro is not in menu option under automate in Photoshop CS6.

    I am doing a Photoshop CS6 course.  One tutorial involves using "merge to HDR Pro" shioch shoule be in File - Automate.  I don't have this in my menu listing.  Does anyone know why this is and if it is possible to add it?  Thank you.

    Have you moved the application, or removed the scripts folder?

  • Photoshop CS6 HDR Merge to HDR Pro SUDDENLY stopped working?!

    Yesterday and in the past HDR Merge to HDR Pro worked through Photoshop CS6 and Bridge.  Suddenly its running then stops before taking me to HDR Adjustment window.  I have installed reinstalled, computer is updated, etc.  Only thing that I can find on this issue is hundreds of other people with the same problem and no solution that is working to get this function working again.

    Exact same problem here.
    CS6 Production Premium and updated.
    Goes all the way through and fails.
    Mine will still work with 2 images and maybe 3, but I have some stacks of 4-7 images. Not working at all.

  • Merge to HDR pro problem

    My merge to HDR pro option in CS6 extended suddenly stopped working.   I select the pics to merge I see them all appear on the screen but then it looks like all is working well and the Merge to HDR window never opens....  I just end up staring at a blank regular PS window.  One minute it was working - 10 minutes later nothing.
    I tried resetting preferences and even redownloading and installing (without uninstalling first).
    I've searched the forum but don't see this issue.

    I too am having this problem and have searched to no avail.

  • Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Attached is screen shot. What happens is I go to File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro, then select my 3 images, which are flattened psd files (I have tried tifs and jogs too), hit OK, it processes them, but instead of the image appearing, I get this black image. You can see my original images at bottom... jpegs too),

  • Merge in HDR Pro Problem

    I select images in Lightroom 5 and then select Merge in HDR Pro.  The images go  to Photoshop (CC), but when the HDR dialog opens, the imaage area is black.  I also have PS CS6 and it works correctly there.  Is this a bug in CC?

  • Merge to HDR Pro does not work on Nikon D800 RAW (NEF) files

    Hi,
    I can't get Merge to HDR Pro to work on NEF RAW files from my Nikon D800 - nothing happens after after confirming the file selection.  However, it works ok if I convert those files to DNG (using Lightroom 4), and if I use the D800's JPGs, and if I use Nikon D7000 NEFs.  It just seems to be a problem with Nikon D800 NEFs.
    Steps taken:
    1. File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Pro
    2. Browse... and select NEF files (even selecting 2 files does not work).
    3. Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images is checked.  Then press OK.
    Expected result:
    Progress cursor spins as files are loaded and HDR dialog appears.
    Actual result:
    Nothing happens - no progress cursor or CPU or disk activity - it is as if I had clicked cancel instead of ok.
    This is a clean install of the 64 bit CS6 beta on Windows 7 64 bit, with no plugins, and I reset preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift on startup).  I do have my existing CS5 Extended still installed, as well as Lightroom 3.6 and 4.0.
    I can send you the NEFs if you like.

    Hi,
    The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
    If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
    and convert your files to DNG.
    regards,
    steve

  • Merge to HDR Pro - how to make it work?

    The 'Automate -> Merge to HDR' feature worked fine during the first few weeks of my Ps CS5 trial but now doesn't work. Photoshop  gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but throws the attached error when returning to Ps.
    If Merge to HDR Pro is chosen on DNG images from Lightroom 2.7 or Bridge  CS5, Photoshop again gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but when creating  the HDR image and returning to Ps seems to throw it away with no resulting error. Photoshop  just stares blankly with no image open.
    I experienced the same error with CS4 and was excited when the Merge to HDR Pro feature on my CS5 trial worked fine, yet with 5 days left in the trial the HDR feature now refuses to cooperate. It previously was working OK from the Automate menu, from Lr 2.7, and from Bridge. What exactly I did to upset Photohop is a mystery.
    I've tried resetting preferences and removing all plugins and extenstions to no avail. Any ideas on how to make Merge to HDR Pro  functional?

    There has been a long and continuous thread regarding CS5 having problems when one tries to save images that have been combined in Merge to HDR Pro.  I have exactly the same problem.  I have been shooting 3 images bracketed -1, 0, +1 or -2, 0, +2.  When I select 3 images in Bridge.  Go to Tools>Ph otoshop>Merge to HDR Pro the computer does its work and produces an image of a combination of the 3.  I can see the image, and in the Layers Panel I see 3 Layers plus one Layer that is entitled Merge to HDR Pro(layer is devoid of image. When I try to Save As Photoshop freezes up.  I have 11 Screenshots to illustrate.  Also Select 3 in BridgeI have tried many different sets of images.  Screenshots:Select 3 images in Bridge CS5Go to Tools>Photoshop>Merge to HDR ProSave as 32 bit image; have tried 16 bit and 8 bit too- still freezes at endSave as BEF 32 bitSaving -Computer is Processing32 bit image saved on screenSave as bef to proper locationPutting in File TitleSelecting 1PHOTOSHOP FROZEN- anything I click on no responsePhotoshop Running but not responding- Frozen; Task Manager says all running here, but no responseHave to end process with task manager.   Thanks, Sam

  • Merge to HDR Pro and Camera Raw stop working...

    I have been noticing for the past few days that two aspects of PS CS6 completely stop working. Those are Merge to HDR Pro and Camera Raw 7.0. What happens is I can see a photo yet no changes take place no matter what I change, I try zooming, I try changing settings, nothing at all changes. At one point Merge to HDR Pro would not let me cancel or click okay to do anything. To solve this problem I must reboot PS. Merge to HDR Pro this problem keeps happening, with Camera Raw I have seen this issue twice so far.
    I am running Windows XP (SP3).

  • Auto-align Layers and Merge to HDR Pro crashes

    Hi,
    Has anybody else experienced crashes with Merge to HDR Pro or Auto-align Layers? I was trying to use Merge to HDR Pro from Lightroom and was experiencing crashes every time after it had opened all of the images and merged them into a single document (but before the HDR Pro dialog box had come up).
    I've tested this further with opening each image individually and then trying to merge them as well as via Bridge and always get the same result.
    I had then decided to try layering the images and blend them to create my HDR image and that's when I found that Auto-align Layers was crashing as well. This leads me to believe that it's actually the auto-align functionality that's causing the crash rather than Merge to HDR Pro as I'm pretty sure that the merge functionality performs an auto-align as part of its steps.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm wondering if I may have to completely remove Photoshop. I can do this if necessary but if there's some other way to fix this I'd rather try that first.

    Okay, solved my own problem. I bit the bullet and did do a reinstall. I'd remembered that one of the previous Photoshop upgrades had failed (either 12.0.1 or 12.0.2) and I'd never gotten around to fixing it. Looking into that suggested reinstalling as the solution so I figured I should try uninstalling and reinstalling then apply all the upgrades and then try it again.
    This time the upgrades did go through properly and I was just able to do a merge to HDR pro successfully so it looks like that's fixed the issue.

  • Merge to HDR Pro from LR4

    I am using LR4 and edit/merge to HDR Pro in CS5. The images appear in CS5 as the processing is going on but then it just terminates and the images disappear from CS5.  This is happening on multiple sets of images not just one set.  I don't know if this is part of the problem but I also get a message as the process is starting on LR that I may need Camera Raw Version 7 but I can't find that anywhere.  Any idea what's going on?
    Thanks

    Hi Bill,
    Answers to your questions beow ...
    The one thing that I did not see was your HDD setup, and especially how you have your HDD's allocated, with such things as Scratch Disks, etc. That might be useful knowledge.
    -  Just use a single 1TB hard disk, 516GB used and 398GB free.
    With Win7-64, the 8GB RAM is a bit light, as Win7-64 is a RAM hog, and Scratch Disks will most likely come into play, and especially with HDR.
    - Can't do much about that as 8GB is the MAX on the motherboard. But again don't have any problems in any other areas and if I do Tone Mapping from the Image -> Adjustments -> HDR Tone Mapping ... menu there aren't any issues.
    Now, if you do NOT switch out of PS, while doing an HDR Merge, does it then complete, i.e. is it only when it loses focus, that it hangs?
    - Yes, as long as I don't switch out at all.
    What are your PS Memory and Cache settings?
    - Available RAM 7230, Let Photoshop Use: 4338 (60%) (This is the default setting Photoshop chose)
    - Cache Settings, again default: Cache Levels: 4, Cache Tile Size: 1024K.
    Do you have any active-scanning anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything running?
    - Yes, Microsoft Security Essentials
    Is Windows Indexing ON - though with Win7-64, it has become much less of a problem, than with older OS's?
    - Yes Indexing is on, makes no difference if I turn it off.
    What are the Image Size of the HDR Images?
    - As they are from Canon 5D Mk II (ProPhoto RBG, 16 bit, 5616 x 3744 (~21MP) and 300 bit/in) they will open anywhere up to 120MB in TIFF or PSD.
    I am not sure but it seems a little similar to the issue with the CA sliders in LR4 Beta when we reverted back to Process 2010 after upgrading to PV2012 unless there is a memory leak somewhere. Again if I use NIK Software HDR Efex pro I don't seem to have any of these issue - (just aligment and ghosting ).
    Obviously I have a work around by simply not leaving the HDR Merge window before completing the process, just inconvenient.
