How many images in Photomerge Exposure

What is the limit on the number of photos that can be used in Elements 11 or 12 in Photomerge Exposure?
Mary Lou

It depends on the lighting conditions.
What is more relevant than number of images is camera settings e.g. plus or minus one or two stops.
In most cases I never need more than three images.

    Finally I solved my problem(getting as many images as possible from a url infinitely) using the above code:
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class UserApplication {
        private static int n=0;
        String url;
      public void UserApplication(){
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            UserApplication app= new UserApplication();
            for(;;){
            app.urlStr();
        private void urlStr(){
            try{
                url= "http://mplamplampla/frame.php/";
                HttpURLConnection con=(HttpURLConnection) ((new URL(url).openConnection()));
                BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\mpla\\Desktop\\" + n + ".jpeg"));
                con.setDoInput(true);
                con.setDoOutput(false);
                con.setRequestMethod("GET");
                BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
                int bt = 0;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
                while ((bt = in.read(buffer, 0, 4096)) > -1) {
                  out.write(buffer, 0, bt);
                in.close();
                out.close();
                System.out.println("Image " + n + " saved");

  • Memory usage Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - How many images are too many?

    My wife and I are having a discussion about the memory allocation of Adobe PSE 9.
    We run both of our profiles logged in on a 27" iMac top end from May, 2010, with 12 GB of RAM.
    She had a number of pictures open (let's say 20 - 25) that she was working on editing.  Trying to shut the program down or work within it, the spinning wheel of death made a cameo appearance and brought the system to a crawl.
    I ran Activity Monitor and it said that she had 746 MB of memory free out of 7.39 GB active and 11.27 GB used.  With each image I closed, I gained an additional 5 - 7 MB of free memory.
    Once I force quit PSE 9, that number jumped to nearly 2.5 GB free.
    For those with experience using PSE 9, can you give me an indication:
    How many images do you have open that you're working with at the same time?
    For those people with more Mac OS X experience, would having 750 MB free out of 12 GB reduce the computer to a crawl?
    Thanks in advance.

    As a general rule of thumb (some will disagree with me) if your machine has about 500MB of Free RAM or less this will slow down the computer significantly. Also as a general rule you can never have too much RAM. One nice thing about your machine is it can be upgraded up to as much as 32GB of RAM however 8GB chips are EXTREMELY expensive right now and currently only OWC sells a kit. You can upgrade to 16GB for a lot less, whether you need it or not no one here can say for sure. I would continue to keep an eye on Activity Monitor and keep my first sentence in the back of your mind.

  • How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold?

    How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold? What's the maximum.
    And why does iPhoto occassionally crash when dragging folders of images into the Album list area?
    thanks,
    Hairfarmer

    I have 70,000 RAW images arranged in directories by year/day.  The only thing slow about it is during catalog backup. When first starting LR it takes a couple of minutes to enumerate the dates with photo counts, but that occurs in the background.  I detect no database related slowness while editing or performing random accesses and searches.  I have seen no difference in the above after having upgraded to V4.
    The only slowness that I find annoying has nothing to do with the database.  It is after a certain number of spot removals of varying sizes. The larger and/or more varied the spot size tends to accelerate this.  At some point it starts disk thrashing and becomes impossible to work with (I have to back up to a history step when it was running OK, which can take several minutes).  When this occurs the task manager shows a high rate of page faults, meaning it is swapping out stuff to disk (even though I have plenty of unused ram).  This suggests a problem with the compiler, but that is just an wild educated guess.

  • How many images can LR4 catalog hold?

    I have been using Lightroom since version 1, it is my main editing software. LR4 is brilliant, however I it seems to run much slower then LR3 especially in the print module. I'm thinking this maybe due to the size of my catalog. How many images can a catelog hold?
    Many thanks

  • OT but relevant - Just how many images do you have?

    These are my own opinions and I'm just interested in other peoples thoughts......
    I frequently see posts on this and other forums where people are stating that they have tens of thounds of images. I think the highest I saw recently was over 40,000. (My basic assumption is that these are not Pros)
    Its got me wondering about whether the Digital Camera age has also resulted in a culture of Quantity versus Quality that we see in so many other aspects of life.
    I've been interested in Digital Photography for 10 years and I'm still not over the 5000 mark. Maybe this is because I grew up on film and couldn't afford to waste materials and time. Over 95% of what I shoot I consider worth keeping and processing.
    I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having as many images as people want but consider the amount of overhead these bring. Megabytes of disk storage, hours spent Reviewing, Organising and Processing. Back to my perhaps contentious statement - how many of these are worth keeping or taking in the first place?
    As they say on Exam Papers - Discuss? :-)

    I read a statement from Ansel Adams that went something like, "Twelve significant photos in a year is plenty." I suppose if you are striving for masterpieces that would be true. But personally, I like the economy of digital photography.
    Last summer a bunch of us from my family took a trip to Alaska. Between all of us we had five digital cameras. And they were all used extensively on the trip. At one point we had an opportunity to take a flight over Mount McKinley. All the batteries were dead except for those in one camera, and we only had one card available because we hadn't taken the time to download images for a while. Luckily, the one camera captured some beautiful shots from the flight. They weren't all perfect, and probably none of them would be considered masterpieces. But at least we have a memory of the trip. When we got home and consolidated all of our pictures we 10 CDs full of images. From all of those images we chose about 60 to create a small album to be printed by mypublisher.com. But we have all gone back to those disks to get other pictures for other purposes. We have been glad that we had them.
    What boggles my mind is when I read comments that someone has several external hard drives containing their digital images. After I have gone through a bunch of pictures and chosen the best ones and discarded the bad ones, and then have printed the few that I want prints of, I find that I seldom go back and look at them again. So I am archiving on DVD and then deleting them from my hard drives. I know, there is a controversy over the longevity of such a practice. But I plan on routinely making new copies of each DVD and an effort to preserve the images. So far, I have not had any problems.
    I have been doing a lot of experimental photography lately. I have been playing around with HDR (High Dynamic Range) which requires several images that are the same except taken at different exposures. And that can fill up a card in a hurry. With experimental photography I think one has to evaluate which, if any, of these images will ever be used again, and then have the discipline to erase all the ones that will never again be needed or looked at. There are very few images that any of us have that are worth agonizing about if they are lost. A picture is just that, a picture. If you have some that you absolutely cannot do without, come up with a storage system that works for you. But keeping every photograph taken is really a waste of disk space, in my opinion.

  • Backing up partitions to an external HD, how many images does it make?

    I have several partitions on my MBP of which I would like to backup only 2. I know I can control this in the TM setup. However my question is would TM than make one or two sparse images. And if only one how could I get it to make two images.
    Or? Any insights or tips about this?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Yes you can. But i would suggest to do each one at a time. (Is just for performance, if you try to write from two computers on the same drive at the same time access time will be reduced to less than one half).

  • How many images can QT handle in an image sequence?

    I want to make an image sequence of 6000 jpg-files. I've got an OSStatus error -8969.
    Whats wrong?
    mayby 6000 files are a bit to much? does anybody has experiences with handling many files? I've got  hundreds of maps with 14000 files. I want them all as image sequences. What's the best solution?

    Ten years ago I tested and used 67,000 files in a sequence and it imported into QuickTime in under 4 minutes.
    That error code mentions a bad codec. Are you sure all your files are .jpg? No RAW images mixed in?

  • How many images/folders can I import at once?

    Can I get LR to import a large number of folders within one very large folder? So far it seems to be insisting that I do one folder at a time. (Using LR 2.0 with Windows XP).

    Click import, go to the top level folder, select it (single click, not double-click), and in the lower right of the import dialog box click the button that says "Import all photos in selected folder"
    That will get all the subfolders. They will all be selected by default, but you can unselect them to suit your needs.

  • Basic question - how many photos?

    Hi,
    I have a ridiculously simple question about Aperture, but I can't seem to find out this piece of information anywhere. How do I find out how many images I have in my library? I know the solution must be trivial and staring me in the face; but sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees!
    Thanks,
    David.

    "Photo" means different things in different contexts. Let's use the Aperture term, which is "image".
    To find out how many images are in your Library, click on (and here Apple is not consistent) "Photos" near the top of the Library Inspector. The Tool Strip (below the Browser) will tell you how many images are selected, and how many are included in the current set. "Photos" shows you your entire set. Make sure there are no filters applied, and that Stacks are expanded.

  • BUG - too many images crashes apps.

    Hello,
    I would like to report a bug to RIM. 
    When using a sketchting app (Paint book or Sketch), if I attempt to load an image, the application hangs and the keyboard and parts of the touchpad get disabled even after I have killed the application, also at this point File Manager will refuse to start. The only way to get it back to normal is to force a reboot.
    I have a 32Gig Playbook and have all of my Picassa photos synced to it.
    I believe that the large number of photos may be the reason for it crashing. 
    Does anyone else have this issue please?
    Cheers
    Alex

    How would this be a bug. How many images are loaded. Do you have enough memory available.

  • How to switch off 'crop' edit in many images at once?

    I know how to lift and stamp to apply edits to several selected images at once. However, if I have cropped many images within a project in different ways, then want to switch off the crop on all of them, is there a way? Without laboriously going through one-by-one and un-checking the 'crop' box?
    Likewise is it possible to apply auto-exposure to many images (batch process)? When stamping, it applies the exact same exposure change from the lifted version, but different images require different exposure compensations of course.

    1 - yes, on one image leave the crop box checked and click the circular arrow (reset) ... this has the crop enabled but no crop ... then L&S that adjustment to all the ones you want, you just reset the crop on all of them ...
    2 - no ... with the auto adjustment it creates an adjustment ... when you L&S that adjustment, that is what you get, that specific adjustment ... you are one of hundreds that want that and ask for it here ... use the feedback menu option to send feedback to dev team ... or use http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

  • Why doesn't the "View image info" show how many frames are in animated gifs?

    When I right click on an image, then click "View Image Info" it used to show how many frames were included in an animated gif. This stopped working in Firefox 4. Why is that?

    I'm not too sure what I did but it works now.

  • Offline updates mechanism: how many times can you use it before corrupting the image(wim)?

    Hi,
    As title mentions: "how many times can you use sccm 2012 offline updates for the wim file before corrupting the image(wim)"?

    Jan Hoedt

    In my experience the offline servicing feature is only OK and too unreliable for production.
