Elements 12 photomerge-Panorama

When selecting Photomerge Panorama in Elements 12, program crashes with error message "editor 12 has stopped working".
Was working fine until last week then suddenly this started happening every time I attempt to run Panorama. Other Photomerge functions appear to be working okay, just a problem with Panorama.
Using Dell 8700 system running windows 8.1 in 64 bit mode. Have 24GB memory and lot of empty disc space.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Why is Adobe continuing to ignore the many forum threads inquiring about this same problem?  IMO, this issue continuing year-after-year represents irresponsible decision-making on the part of their Change Control Board / maintenance management, for such a fundamental operation as photo-stitching.
In particular, when the same two images can be merged successfully using any of a number of separate photo-stitch apps from other vendors, yet crashes Adobe Photoshop, then ipso facto, where do YOU think the blame lies?
In my opinion as a software programmer, an attempt to perform such a basic operation as merging two images, regardless of their size, should NOT cause a frickin' crash.  Programmatically, this speaks to (a) poor memory management, and (b) terrible error-detection/handling/reporting. 
This problem continues with the latest OS updates, the latest driver updates, the latest Adobe Photoshop updates/versions ...       Crashing Adobe Photoshop is an unacceptable outcome for such a fundamental operation, even if one is working with photos that are truly of larger-than-normal size.  It's COMPLETELY inexcusable when the images in question are of standard sizes produced by current-day camera technology.  The workaround of resizing the original photos is an unacceptable option for someone who is attempting to maximize a print size without resolution loss.

    Why in Photoshop Elements 12 is Photomerge Panorama grayed out? How do I activate it?

    You need to be in Expert mode. Ciick the word Expert at the top of the PSE window.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 Photomerge Panorama won't run

    Opened case #0180993666 on 06/14/09, no reply from Adobe to date.

    Others have reported that problem as well.  The only thing I've seen reported that may help is to do an uninstall/reinstall in what Adobe calls "simplified mode" with anti-virus and other services disabled, running as administrator (not just in an account with administrator priviliges), and manually removing all traces of PSE not removed by the uninstaller before reinstalling.  See this FAQ for details on how to do that:

  • Photomerge panorama not working in elements 11

    Hi:
    I cannot make the photomerge panorama function work in elements 11. It simply
    generates the standard Window 7 error message and when it can't find a solution
    the program closes. In previous versions ( 9 and 10) it always worked and never
    caused a problem.
    Attempting to rebuild the preferences file as suggested for a similar problem affecting
    earlier versions was also done but to no avail. Its a function I use quite frequently so
    until it is resolved I will keep using version 10.
    Anyone have a solution for this anomaly??
    Michael

    The error message pops up right away and is generated by Windows not PSE.  The java script that generates the familiar combo box that gives you the various panorama options for merging doesn't even have a chance to get started.  The scripting support plugin is in Photoshop Elements 11>Required>Plug-Ins>Automate.  This location is a change from the previous versions.
    Thank you
    Michael

    ELHID labs,
    As your question applies to Photoshop Elements, I will Move your post there. Your links and any e-mail subscriptions will follow perfectly.
    Also, I think that Steve G. and Neale have given you some great direction to getting your Panorama "stitching" working for you.
    Good luck,

  • How to run photomerge panorama in ps elements 10

    When starting photomerge-panorama in ps elements 10 the program shuts down itself with the notification that is does not work anymore. All other photomerge functions however are working fine.
    What to do?

    Hi,
    The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
    If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
    Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
    Which operating system are you running on?

  • Photomerge panorama in elements 7 problem, please help

    Hello, I am having difficulty making a photomerge panorama with elements 7.  Here is how I am going about it:
    I have 3 files saved as jpegs I want to stitch. I open a file from its location in My Pictures, minimize it, then do the same for the next two pictures.  I do this in order of left picture, center picture, right picture. Using  the small pane at the bottom of the elements window, I hold down ctrl and click each of the three open pics to select them.   Then I go to file and select new, photomerge panorama. A window pops up for making a new photomerge panorama, but nothing pops up staggered behind it--no new empty file screen or winows ocntaining my open files as I have seen in the tutorials). I leave it on auto and click add open files. All three titles show up in the window. Then I click OK. Nothing happens. There is no new file window for it to create a panorama in. I do not get an error messae. Just nothing as if I made no command. Can anyone tell me how to correct what I am doing to make it work?
    Thank you

    Juergen_d- thank you.
    All I needed to do was stop minimizing the photos to the bin. When I left them all open on the elements desktop, it worked seemlessly. Amazing- thank you!

  • Elements 9 stops working when I try to use Photomerge Panorama - Windows 8.

    Photoshop Elements 9 is functioning with Raw or Jpeg image adjustments, but not when I try to use Photomerge Panorama.  Message to say: P E has Stopped Working.  A problem caused this programme to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the rpgramme and notify you if a solution is available.
    I have uninstalled the programme and re-installed but same problem.

  • PS Elements 8 on Windows 7 - Photomerge Panorama not available

    I have PS Elements installed on Windows 7 and when I go to File/New/ the "Photomerge Panorama" is grey and not available to use, while all the other Photomerge options are available.
    How do I make it available?
    thanks,

    You need to select mulitple images to make panaroma. Try selecting few images and see if the option is enabled.

  • Photomerge Panorama crashes in PS Elements 10

    I've finally found some time to try some panoramas using Elements 10 and it crashes every time I select Photomerge Panorama. I'm using Windows 8.1 on a fast laptop with updated drives and D drive as the selected scratch drive. A bit of an internet search has revealed this to be a common problem without a posted fix. I would have figured a patch or a bug fix would have been released by now. I've tried finding a contact number to discuss this matter with Adobe but keep getting routed to this forum for assistance. I'm frustrated that I've been sold a program that very clearly doesn't deliver what it claims to. Am I expected to now purchase a new edition of Elements in the hope that the Pano feature will work or does someone have a better solution?

    I have the same problem; like you, even with completely updated drivers.

    Barbara,
    The step I was missing was to change the mode via the control button at the top of the user interface from "Quick" to "Expert". Under the "Quick" mode Photomerge Panorama is grayed out. Thank you for your input!

  • Elements 8 - Mac OS10.6 Photomerge Panorama Problem

    When I click on the File>New>Photomerge Panorama an error message "JavaScript code was missing" appears.  And Photomerge Panorama will not open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE8 but the problem persists.

    No.  I did ask Adobe Support and they said it was a problem with the operating system.  Which to me is a dead end.  Hopefully somebody out there can figure out what and where the JavaScript file Elements is looking for and tell the rest of us.
    Sorry for not having an answer.  Good luck on your quest.

  • Elements 12 without Photomerge Panorama on MAC?

    After installing Elements 12 on the MAC (10.8.5) the menu for Photomerge Panorama is greyed out, so Photomerge Panorama cannot be started. Any other Photomerge function is available and can be used.
    Is the panorama one of the missing function on MACs?
    Import and Exoirt from the File menu are also greyed out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Switch to Expert Mode.
