Error message on Merge to HDR

Hi -
Whenever I use the Merge to HDR function (CS4, using XP, SP3) I get a strange error message at the end of the processing portion (just before the completed 32-bit image displays).  The error says something to the effect that it's possible that the images used for the HDR were taken with different cameras.  This occurs on every HDR I create using Photoshop.  I'm almost positive it also came up in CS3.  Naturally, the images were taken with the same camera, and all EXIF data is intact, showing the camera make, model, serial, etc.
The only option available in the error message is to click "OK".  99% of the time, processing resumes when I click OK, and the resulting HDR is fine.  Once in a while, when I click OK, the whole process aborts, and PS shows that I have no images open - not the HDR, and not the 3 original JPEGs.  I run the Merge to HDR from Bridge, and the images are all straight from the camera - no processing or anything that might affect the EXIF or metadata.
Any idea what makes PS think that I'm using multiple cameras to take a HDR?  Or why sometimes it just aborts the process when I click OK?  I honestly cannot remember if I've ever tried merging to HDR using RAW files to compare whether the error occurs then or not.  No other HDR engine (and I've used several) seems to have a problem with my images.
Thanks!

In original post it states "Naturally, the images were taken with the same camera, and all EXIF data is intact, showing the camera make, model, serial, etc.".
Have not used this function but seem reasonable that the cryptic Adobe message is just generic term for being shot at different angle.  If the angle is too great it can't register the images correctly and so aborts.  At least that is how I read it.

And of course the the lens was zoomed it would also seem like a different camera.

    Hi,
    Columns going to be updated should not be in 'ON clause' , try to delete the line 6 of your query. By the way, there isno sense to update e2.employee_id = e.employee_id when matched, the equality is already verified.

  • Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

    Good Morning,
    I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
    Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

    To fix:
    Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
    Be well...

  • Merge to HDR Error

    I posted this in the photoshop forum and haven't received an answer. Maybe you guys in the script forum can tell me whats happening.
    I'm attempting to run the merge to HDR. Everytime I click on save this is the error message I receive.
    Error 8000: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect
    Line: 215
    -> var tmpdoc=app.open(tmpFile);
    Any input would be appreciated.

    When the Merge to HDR filter finishes, it writes the data out to a temporary .PFM (programmable float map) file. This gets read back in as a new document.  This is because a filter plugin can't change a document's bit depth on the fly.  The line that's failing is when it's trying to read the temp file back in.<br /><br />The path of the temporary file is platform dependent.  Some things to check for:  Lack of disk space on the volume where the temp folder resides (although it should check and report that separately), file/folder permissions, or problems with the PBM file format plugin.<br /><br />On Windows, the path to the temp file is typically something like:<br /><br />C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\PhotoshopHDRtmp12345.pfm<br /><br />You can try looking for this file after getting the error and see if you're able to successfully read it.

  • HDR error message

    Sometimes (not all the time but frequently) when I send 3 photos to be processed in Merge to HDR, after I finish all my work on the merged photo and I hit the Process button, I get an error message that says the program doesn't include this functionality or something to that effect and it won't process the merged photo. It is very frustrating after all my work on the photo. This happens a lot but not all the time. I can take the same 3 photos and process them with no problem in Photomatix. Is this a bug in CS5? I am working in 64 bit and have 6 Gigs of RAM.

    Hi All.
    My first post.
    I am using a Mac Pro 2009, 12GB RAM, CS4 11.0.02 and Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    I have started shooting some bracketed RAW files with plans for using the HDR function in CS4.
    When I /browse for and choose the images, 3 to 5 images, and hit 'OK', the little icon watch face appears for one second and then disappears. Nothing else happens after that.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in Advance for your help.

  • Why do I receive "4.3.2 connection rate limit exceeded" error message using the mail merge extension and what can be done about it?

    I am using TB 31.3.0 with Mail Merge 3.9.1. I routinely send an email to 435 members of an volunteer emergency responders group that I coordinate. I do so using a .csv list with mail merge. While there were no problems in the past, more recently the mail merge function will hang after sending a varied number of messages successfully and I get the following error message:
    "An error occurred sending mail. The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: 4.3.2 connection rate exceeded.."
    There is an "OK" button in the error message pop up that can be clicked to resume the mail merge process. It would appear that if I click the "OK" button immediately whenever the error message is received I must do so frequently and some members do not receive their email. If I delay clicking the "OK" button, I found that I only needed to click the "OK" button twice to send to all the members.
    An on line search suggests this is the result of some sort of throttling by my ISP, Sonic.net. There is also this comment: "If you are receiving this error, you are likely using mailing list software which cannot decipher the temporary fail codes. If so, you will need to set your software to slow down its delivery rate and/or reduce the number of active connections per remote host."
    I am not super technical. Is it realistic to think that I can tweak mail merge to that I do not have to babysit my email to this group?

    then I suggest you send using a mail provider that is not actively trying to block your outgoing mail. Or use a yahoo / google groups mailing list feature so you only send a single mail.
    Or use a free account from the likes of http://www.ymlp.com/ who limit free account mailing lists to 1000 subscribers. ( Googled them this morning)

  • Error message when trying to merge multiple files into single PDF file

    Greetings! I'm on windows 7 professional, adobe 9 pro and a 64 bit PC. When I try to merge several PDF files from the same folder into a single PDF file I get this error message "You can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder" - Please help! Thx.

    The product is Acrobat, not Adobe. That being said, I suspect you may only be running AA 9.0 and that may be the issue. If you have not done the updates to the 9.5.5, you probably should. That may fix the issue you are having, particularly since you mentioned a 64-bit system.

  • Error Message (Arrow and Exclaimation Mark in Yellow Triangle) Showing on Bottom Right of Some Photos after Merging iPhoto Library into Aperture

    The strange thing is that some of these said photos with an error message have a normal thumbnail and can be opened fine, but the others (most of them) just have an empty space in the thumbnail as if the image can't be found.
    I tried to Locate Referenced Files as Leonie suggested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3686982?tstart=0 but got this message 'The Selection Doesn't Have Any Referenced Files', so i presume that's not the issue.
    In the thread mentioned above, Leonie mentioned something about not emptying trash. I did empty my trash recently, and started to think these images may have been poor quality ones i previously deleted in the iPhoto library … but that still doesn't explain why the error currently appears on some images which seem to work fine (these images are ok quality ones and there is no way i would have deleted them in the past).
    Also - the 'Processing' message at the bottom of the browser seems to be spinning endlessly. I just left it for over 10 hours overnight and it's still going. Could this be linked to these error images which it's having a hard time finding/loading?
    Quite baffled at the moment, and would really appreciate any feedback. TIA.
    EDIT:
    I just looked more closely. It appears that most of my folders have duplicates of the same image with exactly the same file name. And all the images with the error message have them on both duplicates (i.e. one on an image that has an empty thumbnail, and one on an image that's fine).
    When i initially tried to import the library, it proceeded half way then failed. After opening the iPhoto library in Aperture first, and then doing the import again, everything worked fine. So, i'm wondering if the images with errors that are empty/blank may be the result of the failed 1st import.
    What's puzzling is why they weren't overwritten (especially since all the file names are exactly the same). When importing the library, i chose 'merge' instead of 'add' when prompted, thinking that would solve it. Obviously not.
    EDIT 2:
    After reflecting on this, i thought one solution may be to:
    a) Find all the error'd images that are empty/blank and delete them, and then
    b) Find and remove all duplicates
    So i followed Leonie's suggestion to create a Smart Album and use the 'File Status is Missing' rule.
    But now, i see that there are images that i imported into Aperture months ago that have the same problem. And the new thing is that there are duplicates with errors where *both* images are visible (whereas for the iPhoto library i just imported, there were dupes where one version was blank and the other was visible and seemingly ok).
    I'm really hoping there is a simple solution to this, and am awaiting some feedback before i try anything else.
    NB. This is a super large (over 100GB) Aperture library that i am trying to consolidate everything into. It is Work In Progress and i was only going to back it up once the import of various iPhoto libraries was done. However, I'm wondering if it's better to just back up first - but if i do it now, the backup will include all these errors and duplicates. What would you guys do?

    UPDATE 2:
    The users in these 2 threads seem to have a similar File Status Not Found issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4086569?tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17757686#17757686
    Followed Leonie's advice to look for the (missing) masters inside the Masters folder, and indeed, they were missing. So, that confirms the reason for the error message.
    If this does not work, because you have managed originals, inside the Aperture Library, look for your originals in the Aperture Library Package. Select the Library in the Finder and ctrl-click, then select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up. In the Finder window that opens, navigate to the folder "Masters". Your missing images should be inside; the folder is structured by date of import.
    Of course, the question is - why the masters for these few images are missing, when the other images in the same project that were imported/merged at the same time are fine.
    Trying to do the library import/merge from iPhoto into Aperture again. Fingers crossed. Will report back on the result.

  • Error when trying to use Automate Merge to HDR... in Photoshop CS4

    Hello,
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on a new MacBook Pro running 10.5.6.
    If i select "Automate>Merge to HDR..." or "Automate>Photomerge...", i get an alert with an error:
    « Error 48: File or folder does not exist.
    Line: 38
    -> $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "LatteUI.jsx"); »
    I went the whole uninstall-reinstall the Design Premium suite, but i still get the same error.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    PS : A file named LatteUI.jsx does exist at the location /Volumes/Applications/Adobe CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts/Stack Scripts Only/LatteUI.jsx, and obviously i have installed the suite on a different folder than the default...

    This is not an error of installation.  I have had photoshop CS4 installed on a completely different partition on a Macbook and a MacPro.  They were running fine.  All the necessary files were installed to the system drive during installation.  I too am having this problem, but it was the upgrade to snow leopard that caused it.  I am searching for a solution to it, when I find it, I will post it.

  • HDR Pro Error Message & Abort

    Wanted to see if someone on here knew the answer or had experience with this issue.
    First off I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.6
    PS CS5 Version 12.0.2
    Here's what I did:
    It doesn't matter which 3 photos I select, I have tried lots of different sets with the same results. I have tried selecting the 3 photos in both Lightroom & Bridge with the same result.
    Everything goes fine, I select the 3 photos, PS HDR Pro does it's thing and it comes up with the dialogue box with the sliders to make adjustments. I do that then press "OK" and get the "creating file" progress bar. As soon as that disappears and PS flashes up the first layer it aborts and gives the following error message:
    Error: General Photoshop error occurred.
    This functionality may not be available in
    this version of Photoshop.
    - The object "document xxx" is not currently available.
    Not sure what's going on since I've had CS5 since it came out and have used HDR Pro lots of times with no problem.
    I've tried sets taken with different cameras (.dng's), tried importing the CR2's right off the camera without converting to .dng, tried converting them to tiffs and use them, and it's the same thing. I opened a case file with Adobe several days ago and haven't heard back. Anyone know what's up with this?

    Someone may have, but chances of them discussing it here, in the Tiger Mail & Address Book forum, are slim.
    Why not post your question to a more appropriate forum, like Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MacBook Pro?
