Interactive Layout mode no longer available in Photomerge Panorama in PSE for Mac - any workarounds?

Hello,  after having purchased a download of Elements 12 for Mac, I found out that the Interactive Layout mode in Photomerge Panorama was no longer available (it was available in earlier versions, such as Elements 11). Is Adobe able to exchange my version 12 for version 11, or is there some other way I can gain access to Interactive Layout mode? I have found that the Auto layout mode often results in a message that it cannot align the images to create a panorama. Thank you.

In photoshop cs6 give this a try:
1. Go to File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack, browse and load the pictures for the pano with the Attempt to Align and Create Smart Object unchecked
2. Increase the canvas size of the document with the Crop Tool holding down the Alt key and dragging
    one of the crop corners out until you think the canvas is big enough to arrange your documents for the pano.
3. Align the layers manually in the document window with the Move Tool as good as you can.
   (you can lower the layer opacxity so you can see the alignment better, but don't forget to put all the layers back to 100% opacity)
4. Select all the layers in the layers panel
    (Select>All Layers)
5. Go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers and use Blend Method>Panorama and Seamless Tones and Colors
6. After the blending it's possible you might see some whats looks like seams, so press Shift+Alt+Ctrl+E to make a merged copy on a new layer and hopefully that'll
    get rid of the seams.
I'll make another post with directions for putting the plugin into photoshop cs6, since you probably don't want to install pse 11 just to get a plugin when
photoshop cs6 is so much more capable than elements, for panoramas anyway.

  • Photomerge panorama in PSE 12 chops off part of final image?

    I've tried several times to stich together 4 images in Photomerge panorama using PSE 12. Every time the right edge of 4th image (the right-most) is chopped off (I'd guess about 25% of the image is lost). I've tried the "Auto" and "Perspective" settings. The "Cylindrical" setting turns the panorama to garbage, with one image at the top and the other three at the bottom of the final composition.
    I was able to stitch together the same four images in PSE 9 without any problem.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can get Photomerge to include all of the 4th image in the panorama?
    Thanks.
    Rick

    It's really hard to tell without seeing the photos.
    Is it possible you could post the the photos somewhere, so someone here might give it a shot?

  • Photomerge Panorama in PSE 6 - Interactive Layout not completing

    I'm attempting to merge ten photos into a panorama using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista, and am having some problems. At first, I tried to merge the photos using the Auto Layout function; while this option completed, Elements wasn't able to line the photos up correctly, and I couldn't figure out a way to move the photos around using the Auto Layout function. So, I started over and tried to merge them using the Interactive Layout function. The screen comes up to allow me to move the photos around and line them up, after which I hit "OK" to merge them together. The process appears to start working, with a pop-up box coming up telling me that PSE is erasing holes and transforming, and I can see the different pics being aligned correctly in the different layers for the photo. Once all of the layers are layed out correctly, PSE says it is blending selected layers based on content, and the status bar gets to around 50% done, then the merge just stops. No error message, no more layers...nothing. Is there a timeout that's happening, causing the "blending selected layers..." action to just stop? It's running for around a minute or so before it stops.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've tried to do complete this merge close to ten times now, with no luck. Thanks for your help.

    Photomerge PS5 was not working on my laptop but OK on on my desktop
    So I found a fix by comparing Photoshop preferences:
    > Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers
    Change Rulers to cm (or maybe inches or something elese, but NOT percent)
    > OK, restart PhotoShop
    And miraculously, Photomerge worked again!
    This bug is probably noy fixed in PS6, so this may well be your problem...

  • Missing photomerge panorama on PSE8 on Mac

    I seem to be missing the photomerge panorama. When I choose File->New the option for panorama is greyed out and not selectable. It is also not available on the Edit Guided option.  The other photomerge programs are okay (group shot, faces, scene cleaner, exposure.)  I have PSE 8 with Mac OS X 10.6.2.  I have already tried reinstalling the software.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I was looking for a fix for the same problem (photomerge panorama is greyed out) in windows (Vista), and saw this post. I am using PSE6. One user in the forum said that he downloaded the trial version of PSE8, and that fixed his problem. I tried that, with no success. (I was able to use photomerge panorama on the trial version, but it didn't help with PSE6) Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • PROBLEM WITH PHOTOMERGE PANORAMA IN PSE 12

    whenever I try to use photomerge  panorama in photoshop elements , i get an error message :Error 48: File or folder does not exist. line :41. i have been trying for few days after retsarting my laptop and also updating the PSE 12

    This means that the photomerege function is having difficulty reading the required scripts to run. Have you made any changes to PSE or installed any add-on's that may have affected the presets?
    I think the best thing to do is to uninstall Elements and then re-install again.

  • Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro

    Hello!
    I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
    Can this be a configuration error?
    Thanks!

    The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
    Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.
