Merge to HDR problems

when i merge to HDR my photo will not save, in fact my file menu will not open up.  what am i doing wrong?  it used to work.I have Photoshop cs5 

I’m a Windows guy so can’t picture everything you’re saying is occurring and was hoping to see the disabled features and missing buttons for myself.
It could be that your UI is just corrupted and re-installing will fix something.
Otherwise, about the only thing I can think of is that there is another modal dialog open that is supposed to be on top of everything but you can’t see it because it is offscreen or behind and so the windows you expect to respond in particular ways seem unresponsive because the model dialog you can’t see is waiting for you to click Ok or Cancel or whatever its buttons would say.  
One way this can happen on Windows is if you were running on 2 monitors and then have switched to one, but the window positions are being saved in terms of two monitors, still.  There is an option to reset the workspace back to Adobe defaults, so you might try that if the re-install doesn’t already do that for you.

    Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Attached is screen shot. What happens is I go to File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro, then select my 3 images, which are flattened psd files (I have tried tifs and jogs too), hit OK, it processes them, but instead of the image appearing, I get this black image. You can see my original images at bottom... jpegs too),

  • CS6 Problem - Merge to HDR Pro - "Remove ghosts" Process 2012 ACR7

    Hello! I found a problem when creating images HDR of RAW
    When using the "Remove ghosts" - the problem is distortion image, clipping highlight and shadows.
    File>Automate>Merge to HDR Pro>Sourse files>Browse>OK>Merge to HDR Pro>Mode: 32-16-8 Bit>Remove ghosts - Problem!!!
    This is a problem only in the 2012 process ACR7, the process 2010 ACR7 there are no problems.
    My system - Win 7 SP1, x64 version CS6.
    Sample images:
    1. No "Remove ghosts"
       - Process 2012 ACR7. No problem, it's good
      - Process 2010 ACR7. No problem, it's good
    2. EV +2. "Remove ghosts".
         - Process 2012 ACR7.  Problem - distortion image and clipping highlight.
       - Process 2010 ACR7.  No problem, it's good
    3. EV 0. "Remove ghosts".
       - Process 2012 ACR7.
      - Process 2010 ACR7. No problem, it's good
    4. EV -2. "Remove ghosts"
    - Process 2012 ACR7. Problem - distortion image and clipping shadows
        - Process 2010 ACR7.  No problem, it's good

    I am having a similar problem with Merge to HDR from Lightroom 4 to CS6.
    First of all, here is the dark exposure processed entirely in Lightroom.  As you can see there is good shadow detail and no blown highlights:
    I
    Now here is the image using the darkest and lightest (of 3 exposures) manually blended.  Here the shadow detail is naturally better (although it isn't obvious on the small image shown here):
    Now here is the image from HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the darkest of the 3 images.  As you can see there is very bad (practically no) shadow detail (look at the hillside on the left):
    Here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the middle of the 3 images.  As you can see the clouds are badly blown/posterised:
    And here is the HDR Pro with remove ghosts on the most over-exposed image.  As you can see the sky is completely messed up:    
    Essentially unusable for this sort of image.  Hope this gets fixed soon!!

  • Merge to HDR pro problem

    My merge to HDR pro option in CS6 extended suddenly stopped working.   I select the pics to merge I see them all appear on the screen but then it looks like all is working well and the Merge to HDR window never opens....  I just end up staring at a blank regular PS window.  One minute it was working - 10 minutes later nothing.
    I tried resetting preferences and even redownloading and installing (without uninstalling first).
    I've searched the forum but don't see this issue.

    I too am having this problem and have searched to no avail.

  • CS5 problem: Merge to HDR Pro & Incorrect EV values

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the HDR Pro option on Photoshop but have yet to find a way to circumvent an issue I'm having.
    The game Gran Turismo 5 on the Playstaiton 3 has a photo mode and allows you to edit camera settings within the game and then export your image. Upon opening the images with Photoshop a message appears informing you the file's Photoshop data may be corrupt. You can choose to ignore this and the image will display as normal.
    The real problem occurs when taking photos with different exposure settings and then trying to use the "Merge to HDR Pro" option. For whatever reason, the values embedded in the files are incorrect. I took three photos, the high level photo had an exposure value of -3.0 when viewed in HDR Pro which is obviously wrong, and the normal and low level photos both had a value of 0.0. Obviously these muddled up values cause the whole HDR process to go horrible wrong, as seen here:
    http://i53.tinypic.com/euh7ra.jpg
    The Photoshop support pages inform me that for files with missing EV values, I can set them manually, however there is no such option for files with incorrect values. Is there any way I can alter the settings manually? Either through Photoshop or editing the files elsewhere?
    Thanks for any help.

    It sounds like the game is writing incorrect EXIF data.
    You'll have to edit or remove the EXIF data that provides the camera settings.
    If the EXIF data is removed, then Photoshop won't find the metadata, and will prompt you for the values.
    And if you put the correct values in the EXIF metadata, then it will just work...

  • Merge in HDR Pro Problem

    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?

    Attached is screen shot. What happens is I go to File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro, then select my 3 images, which are flattened psd files (I have tried tifs and jogs too), hit OK, it processes them, but instead of the image appearing, I get this black image.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    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.
    regards,
    steve

  • Memory issue with 'Merge to HDR' in CS4

    Hi All
    I use Lightroom 2.3 and have recently tried to use the 'Edit in' function to 'Merge to HDR in Photoshop' with just 3 Raw files.
    PS opens fine and the three images appear as separate layers, the 'Merge to HDR' window then opens allowing me to set the White Point preview etc. but on trying to complete the operation I get the following error message..
    "The operation could not be completed.
    Not enough storage is available to complete this operation"
    I am using;
    -Win Vista 32bit with 3gb of Ram.
    -Intel 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
    -NVIDIA GeForce9600GS (7.15.11.7490 Driver)
    Under 'Preferences'/'Performance' I have 'Memory Usage' set to 1298MB(79%) and the Scratch disk is set to the internal HD with 502.86GB reading as free. (I also have 2 external USB2.0 HDs with 880 & 909GB free respectively.I have tried every permutation of having these combined or individually as the Scratch disk but to no avail.)
    The really annoying/bizarre aspect of this is that if I open Windows Task Manager and watch the Photoshop Memory usage it peaks and stays at 1,247,704K for about 1/1.5minutes during which I continue to get the above error message if I try to complete the Merge process.
    However, if I wait and monitor this memory usage it starts to drop after said period to 1,003,612K after which the Merge process completes no problem??? (Memory usage by PS then drops to 770,384K)
    Whilst I appreciate that my PC is no Ferrari..having to wait over a minute seems more than a little odd. Have I got something set wrong?
    All advice gratefully received......
    Many thanks!

    Hi Chris/Zeno
    Many thanks for the responses...
    After more experimentation, I think I have solved this. If I set all three HDs as Scratch disks (which totals 2285GB!!!) and switch 'Enable OpenGL Drawing' OFF then I can merge as many RAW files as I like with no time delay..
    Even with OpenGL Drawing switched to off, if I only have the internal HD set to be the Scratch disk, then I get the above error message which I would not have expected to see with 500+GB of free space???
    Anyway, it works now...
    Cheers

  • Photoshop CC2014 in OSX Yosemite (Mac book pro retina 2014) crashes frequently and Merge to HDR does not work

    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 To HDR.jsx could not be found."??

    When I try to do HDR merging through bridge on CS6, this pop-up shows up. "Merge To HDR.jsx could not be found." How can I fix this problem? I do not want to reinstall it because I already have lots of fonts and customized actions.

    Each version of Photoshop I have installed that supports  merge to HDR has on in the normal Presets\Scripts folder CS2 does not support it.  I have installed CS6 32bit & 64Bit, CC 14.2.1 32Bit & 64Bit and CC 2014.1 64Bit version installed so I have five "Merge To HDR.jsx" files.  On my Windows system.  Use Finder on your system that works to find it and on the system that does not work in case it was moved.  In any case you should be able to find it on the system that works and copy to your other system. Windows File Explorer is like finder.
    If you find it in the correct location or copy it to the correct location and it can not be found by Photoshop it may be caused by file system permission being set wrong.

  • CC 2014 Merge to HDR Pro stalls before completing

    I have been using the Merge to HDR Pro command for the last couple of days without issue. This morning it has stopped working - the files are loaded into Layers and the alignment process begins but then the script cancels, leaving me with the stack of Layers in a 16Bit document:
    I've checked the following so far:
    - Quit/ Restart Photoshop and Bridge
    - Deleted the Photoshop Settings file on next launch
    - Tried an alternate batch of brackets
    - Selected fewer / more images from sequence to batch merge
    - Ran the script from File > Automate menu instead
    Any ideas why this has started to happen ?
    Edit: The script seems to work ok if I process .psd versions of the files instead of the .NEFs ...

  • Error when trying to use Automate Merge to HDR... in Photoshop CS4

    Hello,
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on a new MacBook Pro running 10.5.6.
    If i select "Automate>Merge to HDR..." or "Automate>Photomerge...", i get an alert with an error:
    « Error 48: File or folder does not exist.
    Line: 38
    -> $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "LatteUI.jsx"); »
    I went the whole uninstall-reinstall the Design Premium suite, but i still get the same error.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    PS : A file named LatteUI.jsx does exist at the location /Volumes/Applications/Adobe CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts/Stack Scripts Only/LatteUI.jsx, and obviously i have installed the suite on a different folder than the default...

    This is not an error of installation.  I have had photoshop CS4 installed on a completely different partition on a Macbook and a MacPro.  They were running fine.  All the necessary files were installed to the system drive during installation.  I too am having this problem, but it was the upgrade to snow leopard that caused it.  I am searching for a solution to it, when I find it, I will post it.

  • CS6 - Merge to HDR Pro fails to complete

    I'm running Win 7, 32-bit and just picked up LR 4.1 and CS6.  I've updated everything to the latest versions.  I'm shooting with a Nikon D800.
    I'm trying to merge 7 pictures using Merge to HDR Pro.  I've tried this using raw files (NEF) and converted JPG files.  I select the 7 files, PS comes up with the first picture showing.  It starts to process the second picture and the filename changes to something like Untitled_HDR1.  After a few seconds, that picture goes away and nothing else happens.
    Have I got my settings screwed up?

    Although you are on Win7 32-bit, this may apply to your issue.
    There are some 32-bit XP-specific issues we're addressing before shipping that are related to memory.
    I'm pretty sure that's the issue you're running into. I'm sorry for the trouble it's causing you.
    Here are some suggestions to work around the issue. In the meantime, we'll work on helping XP-32 & Photoshop play nicely.
    Try a different memory setting (65%-ish. Try to give Photoshop ~1G and leave the rest to the system). Restart.
    Quit unnecessary applications.
    Try quitting Bridge and running Merge to HDR from File > Automate > Merge to HDR
    Other things to test out in the Performance Preference panel
             •  Try a larger or the largest Tile Size - you've got it set to smallest. Not sure which is better for this case.         •  Try lowering History States to 5.  Other, less likely, suspects:
    Corrupt prefs: Reset preference file: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209421#4209421
    Same-named drive: Be sure there is no other directory is named identically to a folder in the Photoshop app path.
    Conflict with "Open Documents as Tabs = OFF" Prefrence (Interface) setting.
    Please let us know what ends up working best for your system.
    Thanks,
    Meredith
    Also, if Remove Ghosts = ON, it sometimes selects an extreme exposure as its base image (noted by green frame around the thumbnail in the dialog). Try selecting a different base image - just click on a different thumbnail.
    Are you still having issues after updating (Photoshop: Help > Updates...) ?
    Do any of these solve the problem for you?

  • 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.   Thanks, Sam

  • CS5 Crashes during Merge to HDR on Windows XP

    HI,
    CS5 crashes when I try to create an HDR from 3 RAW (CR2) files (select 3 files in MiniBridge, then select "Merger to HDR Pro" from tools ICON).  It goes through the steps of building a composite image in CS5.  I see a lot of entries being inserted into the history panel and see my RAW images show up as layers 1 by1.  Eventually I get a progress box for "Update Lens Profile Database cache" followed by a progress box for "Align Selected Layers based on content".  It crashes a few seconds after the "align layers" progress box appears.  By this I mean that CS5 dissappears from the screen and I get a pop up saying "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close" Etc. This error box allows me to send an error report to Microsoft (whopee).  Bridge stays active in my System Tray.  When I tried the merge additional times (4 to be exact), the same thing happened each time.  This was running patch level 12.0.2 in first 3 attempts, and 12.0.03 in last two attempts.
    To resolve this I reinstalled CS5, updated to patch 12.0.03, and tried again.  Same sequence of events.
    My next resolution attempt was to completely uninstall CS5 first, using the un-install feature in Windows Control Panel and also checking the "Remove Preferences" check box on the Adobe uninstall screen.  I then reinstalled it, updated to patch 12.0.03 and tried again.  Same thing.
    To check my sanity (and to see if there was a problem with the specific photos), I installed CS5 on my lap top (running Windows/7 home) and was successfully able to merge the same 3 photos using the same steps.  So, it seems the issue is not with the photos but some interaction between CS5 and Windows/XP.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks -- Dan
