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.

    As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

    how do I set up my Sony HDR-FX1000 to import footage to Final Cut Pro 7, I get an error message "attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again."

    Hi,
      1. Make sure you have the camera connected via Firewire (i link)
    2. The Camera is turned to "play" and, if you are capturing HDV,  in the camera menu, it is set to i link "OFF"

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • HDR CX7 with Final Cut Express gives me error message

    A couple of days ago I got Final Cut Express 4. When I tried to log and transfer clips with my Sony Handycam HDR-CX7, all the clips were there on the Log and Transfer screen and I could play them and all, but when I added them to my queue, it loaded for a few seconds and then an error message came up in the status screen with a little red exclamation mark. It said, "Error: No Data" My camera works fine with iMovie, but final cut won't work with it. HELP!

    There are a number of different causes for the red exclamation mark. Please to a forum search and see if anything helps you.

  • FCP & VTR error messages

    I have been installing several FCP 5.1 on new MacPro Intel G5's since last December. And I have been getting reports from the editors who operate these systems that they are getting error reports from FCP about the VTR. We have tried many different approaches to solve the problem, but to no avail. Part of the problem is that it is intermittent. What we are using are brand new MacPro Intel G5's with with 8GB RAM. Besides the internal OS drive, there is another internal 500GB drive for FCP media. The MacPro is at 10.4.8. FCP is at version 5.1.4. We are using Blackmagics MultiBridge Pro as the video/audio interface. That is at version 5.9.2 which is current. This uses the Decklink machine control software which is also 5.9.2. We connect machine control via a 9 pin RS-422 cable. The video is connect via the SDI port on the MultiBridge and the SDI on the VTR. We are using the 8 bit uncompressed setting. The throughput on the hard drive is more than adequate. Audio is analog. The tapedecks are Panasonic DVC Pro. We are using the Panasonic RS-422 protocol setup in FCP Device Control Setup. What the editors are reporting is that while digitizing they will get this error message on the screen and FCP stops digitizing. The first error message reads as follows "Tape trouble. Check VTR. Do not attempt to eject tape or use transport without checking VTR first." They will then click the OK button and this error message will appear twice again. After the third time they get this message. "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape. All existing footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully" They click on OK and the error message disappears and that is it. The VTR is still running and is not at the end of tape. The editors rewind the tape to where the digitizing was halted and then begin again to digitize. The error message may or may not appear again. There is no break in timecode. FCP does not crash, there is nothing listed in any of the log files. Has anyone else run across this? Anyone have any ideas for a solution? We've tried just about everything we can think of. Thanks in advance for the help.

    I have a problem tape that gives me the message "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape, etc." every 18 seconds or so after which the VTR stops and happily starts to rewind. The tape was recorded in DVCAM and I had no problem capturing it some time back in November on a different machine. Now the same client wants me to capture it again and the tape simply does not work.
    As I have saved all the previously captured material on the original drive in the office and also made a backup tape on a miniDV cassette (again recorded in DVCAM), I thought that the backup tape would work but no such luck! The symptoms are the same - 17-18 seconds of playback, then "end of tape" and rewind. This behavior does not change when I simply play the tape back or try to capture to FCP, iMovie or iDive. Setting capture to Non-controllable device also did not help because it was the VTR that could not handle the tape, not FCP.
    This is very strange - the first capture in November gave me no trouble. Then I used a new Sony HDR-25 or some such deck, at home I have a new DSR11; the tape is the same. Going in 18-second capture sessions, I have downloaded all the material that the client needs but it was very embarrassing sitting near the guy and not being able to reign in the machinery. I searched this forum but found no workaround. Can anyone point to a place where things like this get explained, advice given, empathy offered? Thank you.

  • Error Message in LR 3.6

    I have successfully downloaded LR 3.6 the day it was announced and have since successfully used NIK Color Efex Pro 4.0 (as an external editor).  Today I realized that NIK's HDR plugin no longer is  listed as one of my plugin's in the external editor.  However, all my plugin's, including Dfine 2.0 listed in Downloads can be 'chosen' when I attempt to add any of them to 'External Editing' in preferences.  My problem is that when I select a photo in any of the external editors, I now receive an error message: 'Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file for editing. Itwill not be opened.'
    I have used the 'Repair' option when attempting to reinstall LR 3.6 to no avail!  Do I have to uninstall and reinstall?  Thanx for your help.  Bill LoSasso

    It seems that plug-ins are not automatically "transferred" to LR 3.6. You have to copy the plug-in from the "Modules" folder of your previous LR version to the "Modules" folder of Lr 3.6 - or if there is no "Modules" folder yet, create one.
    The "Modules" folder is in your LR-folder in Program files on your C-drive.

  • 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.
    Lance

    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.

  • Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

    Hello,
    I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
    The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
    Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
    I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
    What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

  • Error message into a Variable.

    Dear users,
    I have a rather usual (unusual from the weekend beers for me though!!) query which I can't figure out a proper way to implement.
    My requirement is like this:
    I have a message class in which I want to define a text 'Employee number & not found'.
    I want to use this in the program, but not to raise this error. Instead, I want to move this error message with the Employee number into a Character(200) variable.
    So instead of using MESSAGE e0xx(messageclass) USING employee number, I would like to move the error text into a variable which looks like:
    lv_text = e0xx(messageclass) USING '1234'   which stores the text 'Employee number 1234 not found' in lv_text.
    How would I acheive it??
    Thanks, V!

    Try tis way
    message e999(00) with i_emp-empno into lv_text.
    press f1 in message will provide you more details

  • IPod seen by windows, not by iTunes+ weird error message

    I have a first generation 2GB iPod nano and i use windows xp. I can't load any music because iTunes doesn't see my iPod and an error message pops up that reads like this: "iTunes: iTunes.exe corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes is corrupt and unredable. Please run the checkdisk utility." I've tried everything, reinstalling iTunes, different versions, reinstalling OS, resetting iPod, even on another computer, same problem. Other than that, the iPod works normally, it's just lacking music..
    and why is there no email adress from apple for service qustions? 10x

    I still don't get it, how can I put it in disk mode if I CANNOT see the iPod in iTunes..?
    Did you read the document i linked you to? here's another link to it:
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    whereabouts in that procedure in that document (that you get to by clicking that link) does it say that you have to connect it to iTunes to put it into disk mode?
    ... never mind ... i guess you've fixed it anyway ...

  • Error message iPod cannot update b/c all of the playlists no longer exist

    Hello. I have been getting this error message. "Songs on the iPod "MAR(the name of my iPod)" cannot update because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist." And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist. I have a feeling ths might have to do with the fact that on vacation the person I was visiting gave me a gift of putting all of his music that would fit into the external hard drive part of my iPod, and for the past week or so I have been putting that music onto my 40 GB portable hard drive at home. I suspect I took a vital folder out of my iPod by accident. Right now I have the folder iPod_control if I open my iPod up in My Computer. Am I missing something? Right now my iPod is empty because iTunes made a composite playlist last week and I deleted it thinking I could get my real playlists back. Can you help me, or reccomend a site/someone who can? Thank you.
    PC   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    And my playlists are still on the left side in my iTunes. They do exist.
    let's just doublecheck this. folks get this message if they have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in their itunes "ipod" preferences tab. so bring up that tab ("edit > preferences", click "ipod" while the ipod is showing up in the source list), and do a playlist by playlist crosscheck of the playlists selected in that tab, and the playlists showing up in the itunes sourcelist.
    is there any playlist selected in the preferences tab that isn't showing up in the sourcelist?
    love, b
