Merge to HDR doesn't work
I wanted to try my hand at HDR. When I do the merge to HDR in Bridge or LightRoom I get the following error -- Merge to HRD. jsx could not be found--
Do I need to activate anything? I'm running CS5 Premium on a Mac with Lion OS.
Thanks for the help

Sounds like you have a problem with the install -- all the scripts and plugins should be installed already with Photoshop CS5.
You might want to make sure you haven't moved the application or the presets folder (where the scripts are located).

Merge to HDR doesn't work with Raw
I have Raw .CR2 images that I would like to Merge to HDR. If I load them through Camera Raw and then into Photoshop, then attempt to merge with the "currently open files" option it gives me a warning that it won't be as nice as loading the CR2s directly into Merge. So I do that. The layers and windows bounce around like normal, then nothing, just an empty Photoshop window as if I had just launched it. Am I missing something here?
>Am I missing something here?
Some basic info, like WHAT VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP ARE YOU USING? While one might presume you are using Photoshop CS3, if you don't state it, how will anybody know?
As far as I know, this isn't a Camera Raw issue but a Photoshop issue. Does the merge work if you process out tiff files? That would be the first test to see if it's a Camera Raw issue. If not, you'll need to do some basic Photoshop troubleshooting and you might go to the correct Photoshop forum for your platform (which you also don't mention). -
My photoshop CC2014 on my Mac OSX Yosemite crashes all the time with random tasks. Now almost nothing works. Sometimes it stops working after doing random tasks like starting photoshop and i have to do a hard reset by putting the power off of my Mac pro retina (2014). After logging in again i got the message from Photoshop that graphics problem occurred with a Problem report I will post here. I also cannot merge to HDR from lightroom to photoshop & also in Photoshop in the file menu > automate merge to HDR pro. It 8 of 10 times it stops working and I won't select one of the brackets. I have to force quit photoshop. I think these instability problems started after updating to Yosemite but become worser everyday. I also disabled the graphics driver, put it on basic and enabled/disabled open gl, sometimes photoshop disables it automaticly. My osx is up to date so I don't have to update my graphic driver because these updates or done within the OSX update pane. I cannot add the Problem report file in this topic, How can I do this???
Have you installed all the Photoshop updates and MacOS 10.10 updates?
Disabling GPU usage in Photoshop should help with the video driver bugs in MacOS 10.10, until Apple can solve all the driver issues (yes, Apple knows about them and is working on solutions).
What does the long, detailed crash log say?
Also, anything that freezes, shuts down, or reboots the machine is not an application error - but caused by an OS bug, a low level driver bug, or faulty hardware. Applications simply cannot cause those symptoms on modern OSes. -
"Merge into" statement doesn't work
Hi Reader,
It seems that in some of our installed machines merge into statement doesn't;t work. We've already experienced this issue on databases installed within virtual machines, but also found on other configurations sporadically.
Using statement match a single/multiple records (according required logic)
statement:
MERGE INTO RNCATEGORIES CV
USING dual ON
( CV.DESIGNCENTERID = in_DESIGNCENTERID
AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET
PKGCATEGORYID = in_PKGCATEGORYID,
UserPackageType = in_UserPackageType
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT VALUES ( in_DESIGNCENTERID,
in_CADPACKAGENAME, in_PKGCATEGORYID,in_UserPackageType );
Table script:
CREATE TABLE RNCATEGORIES
DESIGNCENTERID RAW(16) NOT NULL,
CADPACKAGENAME NVARCHAR2(64) NOT NULL,
PKGCATEGORYID RAW(16),
USERPACKAGETYPE NVARCHAR2(64)
PK_RNCATEGORIES PRIMARY KEY (DESIGNCENTERID, CADPACKAGENAME)
Thanks in advance,
AmirAfter creating the table, your merge statement gives me
SQL> MERGE INTO RNCATEGORIES CV
2 USING dual ON
3 ( CV.DESIGNCENTERID = in_DESIGNCENTERID
4 AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
5 )
6 WHEN MATCHED THEN
7 UPDATE SET
8 PKGCATEGORYID = in_PKGCATEGORYID,
9 UserPackageType = in_UserPackageType
10 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
11 INSERT VALUES ( in_DESIGNCENTERID,
12 in_CADPACKAGENAME, in_PKGCATEGORYID,in_UserPackageType );
AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00904: "IN_CADPACKAGENAME": invalid identifierwhich is about what I expected. The USING clause requires a select statement, not just a table name. It looks to me like this merge statement is in some kind of stored procedure, and that the in_XXX are variables passed to that procedure. If this is correct, then your merge needs to be more like:
MERGE INTO rncategories cv
USING (SELECT in_designcenterid dcid, in_cadpackagename cpn,
in_pkgcategoryid pcid, in_userpackagetype upt
FROM dual)
ON (cv.designcenterid = dcid and
cv.cadpackagename = cpn)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET
pkgcategoryid = pcid
userpackagetype = upt
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT VALUES (dcid, cpn, pcid, upt);John -
I select images in Lightroom 5 and then select Merge in HDR Pro. The images go to Photoshop (CC), but when the HDR dialog opens, the imaage area is black. I also have PS CS6 and it works correctly there. Is this a bug in CC?
BTW I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina OS X 10.8.5
I uninstalled PS and reinstalled it. Now it works ok. However, when I did the upgrade to PS 14.1.2 it reverted back to it's old way.
It's a bug in the software for me. I've unistalled and reinstalled again and won't do an upgrade untill Adobe addresses the issue. -

Merge to HDR - aligning not working
There is a checkbox called "Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images" in File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro...
It seems to me that it does nothing. Even when I shoot with tripod and the unaligment of source images is very small, the end result is also off.
When and how should this automatic aligment work?
I have Photoshop CS5Here are 3 shots of the moon http://www.fi.tartu.ee/~nils/astronomy/HDR_moon/
These are taken at the same session and in the same conditions. The only difference is the exposure time.
However, Photoshop Automate/Merge to HDR Pro function says that "Merge to HDR Pro - Images to merge may have taken with different cameras" -
CS6 Merge to HDR Pro not working
It goes through the process, when it gets to the alignment of images portion, it starts the alignment process, and just stops working. Any ideas what is wrong?
OMG. 2013??? I truly am screwed. I just had this bug spring up on my comp.
Do I seriously need to pirate CC just so I can get back the functionality that I paid good money for CS6 for?
*spits in disgust*.
Come on Adobe!
5 years working towards going legit with Adobe. 2 years legit with 1 upgrade also paid for (CS5.5-CS6) and now I still have no upgrade path (Production Premium CS6 and refuse to pay 2-3 times more for CC) and broken functionality that won't see proper support?
Well it felt good while it lasted. -
Adobe 3D Reviewer: Merging/Collapsing "nodes" doesn't work!
I'm using VRML 2 files to create 3D models. One of my VRML worlds has about 100 nodes, and I want all the nodes to be merged into one. I tried "collapse...all" function which shows all the nodes as merged into one in 3D Reviewer, but when I export the model as pdf or u3d and open the exported model in Acrobat 9 pro extended for editing, the 100 nodes are still there!
Do you have any idea where could I be making a mistake?
Thank you!It would be very helpful for us scientists to have that feature. I would be thankful if you are in any capacity able to communicate that to the 3D Reviewer development team so that they can bear it in mind while planning the next version of this software.
Thank you very much, Pierre, for everything! -
Merge to HDR Pro does not work on Nikon D800 RAW (NEF) files
Hi,
I can't get Merge to HDR Pro to work on NEF RAW files from my Nikon D800 - nothing happens after after confirming the file selection. However, it works ok if I convert those files to DNG (using Lightroom 4), and if I use the D800's JPGs, and if I use Nikon D7000 NEFs. It just seems to be a problem with Nikon D800 NEFs.
Steps taken:
1. File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Pro
2. Browse... and select NEF files (even selecting 2 files does not work).
3. Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images is checked. Then press OK.
Expected result:
Progress cursor spins as files are loaded and HDR dialog appears.
Actual result:
Nothing happens - no progress cursor or CPU or disk activity - it is as if I had clicked cancel instead of ok.
This is a clean install of the 64 bit CS6 beta on Windows 7 64 bit, with no plugins, and I reset preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift on startup). I do have my existing CS5 Extended still installed, as well as Lightroom 3.6 and 4.0.
I can send you the NEFs if you like.

The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
and convert your files to DNG.

LR2 and PS4 - merging to HDR, merge to Panaorama and Edit in Layers not working
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from LR to LR2.1 and Photoshop CS to CS4. I've been trying to multi-select images from LR2 and edit them as HDR and Panoramas using the "Edit in->" merging options.
None of them seem to work. I can see PS CS4 being opened, but then nothing happens. No image is opened or dialog box shown anywhere. Closing PS doesn't prompt for any saving, etc.
I think the problem is because my RAW/DNG files are stored on a NAS. Trying to do the merge from PS directly using the files also doesn't work. But if I copy the files to my local HDD, then things work a lot better.
Is this a known issue with CS4?
iMac, OSX Leopard, 4Gb RAM.I have done some more tests:
Setting up CS3 as "Additional External Editor" in LR2.1 Edit/Preferences/External Editing works fine with RAW ( .NEF ) files on NAS-drive.
Also CS4 as "Additional External Editor" works the same way. The procedure is the same as when CS3 was the standard editor, ie exporting a TIFF file from LR2.1.
The difference is that the standard CS4 integration is not writing TIFF files från LR, but has a more tight integration to CS4, which is much faster. But still not working when RAW files are on NAS. ( LR catalog files are on local disk ).
Configuration:
Dell dimension 9200
Windows Vista Home Premium ( 32-bit )
D-link DNS-323 NTFS file system
Lightroom 2.1
Photoshop CS4 Extended
Latest updates installed. -
Merge to HDR PRO in Photoshop not working since NIK
Ever since I installed the full Nik suite, LR4's "Merge to HDR PRO in CS5" doesn't work. When I select it, CS5 opens but the files haven't been transfered. Before installing Nik, this worked great.
I can transfer the photo's manually by selecting all of them and using Edit in ...CS5 but that is less convenient, especially because afterwords I have import the result into LR4.
I emailed the same question to Nik and they emailed back boilerplate on how to get their HDR to work.
Thanks for any advice.
DougMy CS5 is up to date but my LR 4.3 isn't. I'm updating it now.
I can't find a way to check for updates for the Nik Collection. If updating LR doesn't work I will try uninstalling and reinstalling Nik. -
Merge to HDR Pro - how to make it work?
The 'Automate -> Merge to HDR' feature worked fine during the first few weeks of my Ps CS5 trial but now doesn't work. Photoshop gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but throws the attached error when returning to Ps.
If Merge to HDR Pro is chosen on DNG images from Lightroom 2.7 or Bridge CS5, Photoshop again gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but when creating the HDR image and returning to Ps seems to throw it away with no resulting error. Photoshop just stares blankly with no image open.
I experienced the same error with CS4 and was excited when the Merge to HDR Pro feature on my CS5 trial worked fine, yet with 5 days left in the trial the HDR feature now refuses to cooperate. It previously was working OK from the Automate menu, from Lr 2.7, and from Bridge. What exactly I did to upset Photohop is a mystery.
I've tried resetting preferences and removing all plugins and extenstions to no avail. Any ideas on how to make Merge to HDR Pro functional?There has been a long and continuous thread regarding CS5 having problems when one tries to save images that have been combined in Merge to HDR Pro. I have exactly the same problem. I have been shooting 3 images bracketed -1, 0, +1 or -2, 0, +2. When I select 3 images in Bridge. Go to Tools>Ph otoshop>Merge to HDR Pro the computer does its work and produces an image of a combination of the 3. I can see the image, and in the Layers Panel I see 3 Layers plus one Layer that is entitled Merge to HDR Pro(layer is devoid of image. When I try to Save As Photoshop freezes up. I have 11 Screenshots to illustrate. Also Select 3 in BridgeI have tried many different sets of images. Screenshots:Select 3 images in Bridge CS5Go to Tools>Photoshop>Merge to HDR ProSave as 32 bit image; have tried 16 bit and 8 bit too- still freezes at endSave as BEF 32 bitSaving -Computer is Processing32 bit image saved on screenSave as bef to proper locationPutting in File TitleSelecting 1PHOTOSHOP FROZEN- anything I click on no responsePhotoshop Running but not responding- Frozen; Task Manager says all running here, but no responseHave to end process with task manager.

Merge to HDR in CS4 from LR2.1 not working
I searched for this problem and did not find anything. I have created several virtual copies and varied the exposure from -2 to +2 EV in LR2.1. I then with all copies selected, then I chose Edit in CS4->Merge to HDR. When it goes into CS4, only one of the images is worked on times the number of copies selected in LR!?!? Am I doing something wrong??
Unfortunately I can't answer your question, I can only tell you what the
Adobe programmers have said about no being able to use a single raw image
for an HDR. I can also tell you two things...
1) A true HDR is about dynamic range over the entire image. A fake HDR is
more about how to have for example a proper sky with a proper foreground,
not about bringing out every possible bit of detail in both of those areas.
2) If you look at a true HDR image that has been processed correctly and
compare that to a fake HDR there is a rather large difference in the images.
I will also tell you that both forms real and fake have their uses and that
in my opinion by and large I tend to like the fake ones better as the image
still looks like a photo where nearly 99.9% of the true HDR images that I
have seen have looked more like paintings. I think this is for two reasons.
1) The true HDR aren't processed correctly by the people very well. 2) Human
beings for as long as there has been photography are conditioned to have
images that have areas that are light and dark to the point that we don't
see any or very much detail, HDR is specifically about having all areas have
detail that can be clearly seen. No real dark, no real light just a
perfectly even perfect exposure. To our minds this isn't a photograph it is
more painting or artwork than photo. This isn't to say that I haven't seen
true HDR that I didn't like, I have it just doesn't happen often, mostly I
suspect do to poor processing, but even the ones with what I would consider
proper processing (no halos, or overly vivid colors) still look more
painting than photo.
In the end it all comes down to creativity or to each artists tastes. If you
like the "fake" HDR then by all means use it. I do. I have a technique that
I use that I have not seen mentioned any place else that I will share. I
will do a video these things are so visual that doing it in text just
doesn't work well in my opinion. I will post a link to the video in a few
days. Maybe someone will like it.

HDR from minibridge doesn't work
Hi
I want to use the HDR merge and invoke it from CS5 minibridge. I have three pictures(raw) and i want to use tools- merge pictures but the the options under tools are blanked out. I can got to PS and start it from file-automate
In tool I should also have a chocie to place a picture in PS, but that is also blanked out.
NilsWell I can do that. It is not a big problem.
I just want to know why the conection between Minibridge, under tools, and PS doesn't work. Scott Kelby uses this in his CS5book. and in the help-text in PS it says the same thing.
