Interactive Photomerge Problems (CS5)

I am attempting to stitch together a large x-ray that I have scanned in sections from original films. However, when I attempt to merge these films using the interactive photomerge plug-in, Photoshop starts doing all sorts of crazy things. My personal favorite is the Photoshop Error 8800 message I receive almost every other time I attempt to merge more than 2 films. (It says the command "Close" is not currently available). They are large files, but when I reduce their size and attempt to merge again, the films do not match up and cannot merge. Another problem is that in the photomerge workspace, Photoshop will resize a film on it's own while merging the others just fine. Even though they are all the same size, I will have one or two in the workspace that appear smaller and thus cannot be stitched together with the rest of the films. Does anybody know what my problem is? I'm not sure if it's because my files are too large or what. Any help would be much, (much!) appreciated.

Hi there
What version of Photoshop are you using? To use the Interactive Photomerge function, you'll need to download the Optional Plug-ins.
CS5 optional plug-ins (Mac)
CS5 optional plug-ins (Windows)
I do not beleive that the option plug-ins have been released for CS6 yet, but I will check on that.
I am taking this answer from this past post:

"Interactive Photomerge issue with CS5..."

          Hello,
                I've been attempting a 'merge with some photo's that I took over the weekend in New York... Some of them didn't have the apparent 40% overlap that's needed for a good 'Auto merge so I've been attempting to use the "Interactive Merge". When I was using CS4 I never had any problems with it doing its job... But I've found that with its use under CS5, that it doesn't just merge the images... "It actually drops the Scaling down by almost 50% each and every time I attempt using it.   If I start out with a "Height" of say 20inches, the merge will drop down to the 10inch +- area... If I attempt to use the "Merged" results of that attempt and merge it with another frame... the Height will then drop down to the 4 - 5inch range.
               Is this a known bug with the use of the "Interactive Merge" with CS5..? Because I'm at a loss as to why this would be happening. Is this perhaps "Why" you Adobe boys removed the "Interactive Merge" from Photomerge in the first place..?
               With all the hype that I've heard surrounding CS5's Photomerging capabilities its kind of, how shall I say it,... maybe, Drop The Ball'ish... to be polite about it. Photomerge is and Excellent part of Photoshop since its inception. But with the release of CS5 I was expecting actual Advances in the Photomerge process, not removal's of some of its features, such as the case of the Interactive Merge.   I was actually hoping that once CS5 had been released that the Interactive Merge would have actually been advanced itself... One of, actually, My Only grip with how its worked in the past... is with its "Zoom, or Magnification" limits... Its never made any sense to me that a Panoramic Stitching program that would be working on "Several" images at a time, some already merged, others needing to be adding to the project, would actually have a Limit on the Magnification aspect of the UI panel that your attempting to work on. Unless your working on only 2 frames at a time, it becomes useless with the more frames you have already merged...
          "Well, I believe that I was as polite about the, shall we say, lack of foresight, with Photomerge's advances... However, as for me, one of the main things I use Photoshop for, is my Photography believe it or not... and Panoramic's are what I'm usually working on."
.... just hoping for a little help is all...

When you get a condition where it's not accepting a keystroke, check something:
Look carefully to see if some of the letters in the menus in the Photoshop main window have been given underlines. If so, this may indicate that you've invoked the menu key introducer (Alt key), and Photoshop is waiting for a menu key.
There is some subtle difference in the way Photoshop handles the Alt key combination with CS5 vs. earlier versions, and because of the way some folks press the keys on their keyboard they end up invoking it (which is easy to do: Just hit the Alt key once and you're there).
There have been some workarounds where folks have created software/scripts that translate keystrokes to lessen the problem. There was a thread on this forum active for a good part of last year which provided some download links...

ABAP interactive report problem

ABAP - Interactive Report problem.
In Interactive report when I double click to one field a window arises (here sy-lsind = 0) displaying some required info. And again after double clicking the appeared window another window will open (here sy-lsind = 1). from the 2nd window I can't go to the previous window.
If there is only one way to go to the previous window is to activate the RIGHT UPPER CROSS OPTION of the particular window, then please help me giving the code or idea about how to activate it. Thanks.

Photomerge problems with CS4 and CS5

I am having all kinds of sudden problems with Photomerge that I never had before (with CS4). I do very big files and have multiprocessor MacPro and 16 gigs of RAM and whether I use CS4 interactive or CS5 with the Ul plugin in 32 bit Photoshop is just crashing half way through the operations. I am very annoyed that the new CS5 does not have interactive in 64 bit as any automatic function almost never does the merge properly. But at the moment nothing is working with either Photoshop.
Any ideas and will Adobe implement interactive in photomerge in 64 bit? I am a professional doing large scale pieced-together murals and need the interactive mode and in 64 bit to utilize all the RAM and the ability of the architecture of the system.

Problems exporting interactive PDF in CS5.5

When I try to use my old PDF settings from CS4 my interactive elements do not work. See the snapshot below.
I am able to export successfully pressing Command-E and choosing Adobe PDF (Interactive) but the images, at least in the first example I have chosen, do not reproduce properly in the PDF. See comparison of original created in CS4 (left) and the CS5.5 version (right):
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
I am using Acrobat X and system 10.6.8

I have found the answer to this problem myself!
Because the interactive setting does not support spot colours being kept it causes problems with any RGB Illustrator files that have been set up using a spot colour. You may well ask why you would want spot colours in an RGB Illustrator file. Well, it's to keep any Lab values intact, but to get around the PDF colour issue you can't have any spots used in this way.

CS5 Interactive pdf problems

When I export my book to an interactive pdf, the bookmarks generated by the TOC do not work, nor do the Index links or the cross-references. If I create a bookmark from the bookmark panel it seems to work. I heard there was a problem with this - has there been any update to correct it? I can export to a print pdf, and all the links work! However, the print version doesn't open to a page that fits the screen, and the appearance is generally not as screen-friendly as it could be. What good is an interactive pdf that isn't! Any ideas?

Photomerge problem in PSE11

I am working my way through book PSE11 Classroom in a Book. I am at the chapter dealing with Photomerge. I chose the photo's followed the instructions choosing Enhance- Photomerge- Photomerge Panorama. Immediately a warning came up Error 19: Invalid source format: Error in line 0, at character offset586, in {. The programme then freezes and I have to Force Quit to shut it down. I am running PSE11 on a Mac os system Snow Leopard have had no problems up until now. I have also completed the same exercise on my laptop running windows with no problems. Can you offer any advice - Please. marlets15

I think I found the best solution for this file (other than going over the seams with a partially transparent rubber stamp). I unchecked blend images together box in the interactive layout, and then blended each of the 4 sections two at a time (the top two, them merged them and auto blended the bottom right quarter, then did the same to the last left hand corner bit. I had to undo, then I repositioned the sections a couple times (after one section turned a lighter shade; or had a white line between it and the section it was meant to join) ...and then I retried the auto blend. It finally worked.

Trouble using Photomerge in CS5

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for a single reason: stitching the groups of photos that I have taken over the years into panoramas. I am well aware of the proper techniques for shooting panoramas (maintaining consistent nodal point and camera settings). So far I have attempted to Photomerge two sample sets of photos and can't get either to work the way I expected. For some background:
Set 1: includes 4 photos of a stadium and the surrounding paved pavilion
Set 2: includes 7 photos of a resort overlooking a mountain range
When I select the groups of photos in Lightroom and choose to Photomerge them using Photoshop CS5, I see the dialog box with choices of Auto, Perspective, Cylindrical, etc. When I tried merging Set 1 using Auto, the output was distorted and bubbly. The stadium was shrunken and rounded. When I tried manually selected the Perspective merging mode, the distortion was eliminated, and the tiles of the pavilion were perfectly aligned as I wanted. But unfortunately, only 1 of the 4 shots was terribly out of place. The left-most image was almost entirely ignored, but a small section of it was incorrectly grafted on the bottom right side of the merged photo. I don't understand why it can correctly align the 4 images while in Auto mode, but can't do the same when I manually choose Perspective mode. Is there any way to help Photomerge recognize the correct alignment.
On the second set, again Auto mode just isn't able to properly render the photo. The photos were taken inside of a round field overlooking a mountain range, but 'Auto' Photomerge incorrectly straightens out the perimeter of the field so that it is parallel with the horizon. Again, when I choose Perspective mode, the majority of the image appears correctly, but the resulting image is heavily skewed to one side. Instead of selecting a central image to represent the vanishing point, the reference point of the photo is on the far left, and the right side of the photo is overly stretched out as a result. I would like to be able to move the vanishing point of the photo to one of the central images, but I don't see any option to correct this problem (except possible a custom lens correction). Am I missing a setting that would allow the Perspective-corrected image to have the vanishing point moved to a spot of my choosing?
Thanks for your help with these issues.

Here's link to the Photoshop CS5 trial Download CS5 products
You then have 30 days to make them.
I know you both got blindsided, but I suppose you did list that they were for CC and he took a chances running it on an older version, which you did not specify as being for CS5.

Photomerge problem in CS3

I am trying to stitch together a fairly low contrast 3D rendering made that was divided into 4 sections. I have tired photomerge in CS3 all afternoon - with no real success (though it works with other files). Generally three of the 4 section blend well, with one that doesnt remaining separate from the others; or coming up with different lighter shading than the rest of the sections. Any suggestions to get it to work?
Also, I dont know much about the layer styles that result. How can I delete them to work on the remaining section?

I think I found the best solution for this file (other than going over the seams with a partially transparent rubber stamp). I unchecked blend images together box in the interactive layout, and then blended each of the 4 sections two at a time (the top two, them merged them and auto blended the bottom right quarter, then did the same to the last left hand corner bit.

InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.
Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).
I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.

Interactive PDF problems

I'm making an interactive PDF document in Indesign.
I'm adding buttons which go to anchors I've put on different pages within the document. At first it all works fine but then when I export it to PDF maybe one of the links on the buttons is wrong, so I change it, but then that upsets the other buttons and their links mess up and link to the wrong page, when they were working fine a few minutes ago. So I redo them and they work ok and then some other ones mess up, this keeps happening. I've checked on Indesign and the buttons and anchors are correct, but when I export it they go wrong. The document is about 40 pages long and I have about 80 buttons/anchors. Any ideas?

we are running InDesign CS5 7.0
do you think this will make a difference? We were looking at the Lynda.com tutorial:
InDesign CS5: Interactive Documents and Presentations
with: James Fritz
Shows how to use InDesign to add animation and interactivity to digital documents.
Everything seemed to work here and I'm presuming he was running an earlier version?

Interactive report - Problem in coming back to the same cursor position

Hi,
I have an interactive report. In the first list of the output, a set of data will be displayed. In that first list, if I double click on a field, it goes to a Custom Screen. There, I have to enter some data and save and come back to the first list of the output. This is what my report does.
I have no issues when the output in the first list is one page. But, when I have the output for more than one page I have a problem. I am going to the 2nd or 3rd page of the output. From there I double click on the field and it goes to the Custom screen. After saving the data in the screen, when I click BACK button, it displays the report from the first page again instead of displaying the output in the 3rd page where I double clicked.
My requirement is, when I come BACK from the screen to the list, the cursor should stay in the same page where I double clicked earlier. It shouldn't go to the first page of the list again.
To my knowledge, we have to use a statement in the code after displaying the output.
Could someone tell me how to do this..?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Paddu.

Have a look at the ABAP command "scroll list"... you will need to hold onto the values of sy-lsind, sy-cpage, and sy-staro prior to the call to your popup, and then after you come "BACK" from this, you will need to re-write your report followed by something like:
scroll list index gs_rpt-lsind "gs_rpt used to hold the previous SY- values
to page gs_rpt-cpage
line gs_rpt-staro.

Not on an iPad it won’t.
In short, the OP’s client is living in a dream world. Until PDF readers get a lot better this just isn’t happening in one file.
At some point it’s all going to be HTML5/CSS3
