New - Photomerge Panorama crashes

I have Elements 10 , fresh install . crashes immediately  when creating New - Photomerge Panorama. I installed latest updates. I also reset preferences.  Still crashes. This is on Win 7 64 bit, which is what I had it installed on before with no issues.
Is there a fix?

Why is Adobe continuing to ignore the many forum threads inquiring about this same problem?  IMO, this issue continuing year-after-year represents irresponsible decision-making on the part of their Change Control Board / maintenance management, for such a fundamental operation as photo-stitching.
In particular, when the same two images can be merged successfully using any of a number of separate photo-stitch apps from other vendors, yet crashes Adobe Photoshop, then ipso facto, where do YOU think the blame lies? 
In my opinion as a software programmer, an attempt to perform such a basic operation as merging two images, regardless of their size, should NOT cause a frickin' crash.  Programmatically, this speaks to (a) poor memory management, and (b) terrible error-detection/handling/reporting. 
Crashing Adobe Photoshop is an unacceptable outcome for such a fundamental operation, even if one is working with photos that are truly of larger-than-normal size.  It's COMPLETELY inexcusable when the images in question are of standard sizes produced by current-day camera technology.  The workaround of resizing the original photos is an unacceptable option for someone who is attempting to maximize a print size without resolution loss.

  • Photomerge Panorama crashes in PS Elements 10

    I've finally found some time to try some panoramas using Elements 10 and it crashes every time I select Photomerge Panorama. I'm using Windows 8.1 on a fast laptop with updated drives and D drive as the selected scratch drive. A bit of an internet search has revealed this to be a common problem without a posted fix. I would have figured a patch or a bug fix would have been released by now. I've tried finding a contact number to discuss this matter with Adobe but keep getting routed to this forum for assistance. I'm frustrated that I've been sold a program that very clearly doesn't deliver what it claims to. Am I expected to now purchase a new edition of Elements in the hope that the Pano feature will work or does someone have a better solution?

    I have the same problem; like you, even with completely updated drivers.

  • Photomerge Panorama won't work

    If I choose File> New> Photomerge Panorama, elements9 crashes. A new window tab appears saying "argument has occured at line 9....at plug in. etc..." This tab is filled with java. Or is this a syntax error? I then have to force quit the software. Can anyone help me? I don't have any plug ins.

    Operating system?
    Have you applied the upgrade to patch PSE to version 9.0.3?
    Did the Panorama function ever work?

  • PSE 8 - Photomerge Panorama not working?

    Trial version (is Panorama disabled in trial?), XP, default preferences
    File->New->Photomerge Panorama and select either 2 open files or 2 files off disk.    Tried Auto reposition, manual , and in both cases, the program thinks for a couple seconds and then shows me an empty file on screen (checkerboard) entitled Untitled_Panorama1.
    Tried a series of different photos, and have done this before in PSE7 with no trouble, so this is puzzling.
    Is this a bug?

    John, I want to add some other information for you concenring this problem with Photomerge Panorama in PSE 8 that you have been looking into, as I too get the error message you detailed in your earlier comments on this problem.  I tried your solution (saving for the web) and found that it did work but, of course, it is a pain having to do this workaround. Then, quite by chance I found that Photomerge Panorama was working correctly and so I tried several files, some of which had not worked before!
    Tonight, the old problem returned and I have been able to replicate both the problem and the solution.  If I have the Organiser open (which I must) but not the Editor, then it works fine. If I then try to do another panorama with new files, then it usually throws up the error message and fails to work. Any further attempts with the image files (or previous ones that have worked) also fail, ending with the error message.  However, if I close the application completely, and then reopen it, the same files will work perfectly with Photomerge Panorama.
    Maybe this throws some new light on the cause for you? (and hopefully Adobe if they read this posting).   Is it a memory problem?   (I have 1 GB of RAM)
    It is certainly very odd.
    On another matter, but kind of memory/processor related, although I doubt if you will remember this, but last year when PSE 7 was announced but before it was available, I queried the processor spec moving up to requiring a 2GHz processor  (it was a huge leap in spec from previously required processors and also not a size much then available for PC Notebook users!
    You kindly advised that you thought it was more a case of "sloppy marketing" which seemed to be borne out by some later advice that I received and sent you and others from Adobe Technical suppoort.  Recently, when I saw that PSE 8 required a 1.6 GHz or faster processor (the website spec sheet) I was pleased and thoughtful!  Today, my purchased copy of PSE8 arrived. (I have been using a free trial version). Guess what, on the box the processor specification is "2 GHz or faster"  So now we have either another case of "sloppy marketing" or perhaps, it DOES need 2 GHz and maybe this is the problem/part of the problem with Photomerge Panaroma not functioning correctly/consistently?
    Maybe though, it IS just a bug and one that I really hope that Adobe can address and rectify AND thsat we don't have to wait until PSE 9.  That would be very, very poor.
    How do you report bugs/possible bugs to Adobe or will you further report the issue, assuming that you can replicate what I have found with Photomerge Panorama?
    Hope this posting is helpful to you and others experiencing this problem with PSE 8
    Kind regards

  • Photomerge panorama in elements 7 problem, please help

    Hello, I am having difficulty making a photomerge panorama with elements 7.  Here is how I am going about it:
    I have 3 files saved as jpegs I want to stitch. I open a file from its location in My Pictures, minimize it, then do the same for the next two pictures.  I do this in order of left picture, center picture, right picture. Using  the small pane at the bottom of the elements window, I hold down ctrl and click each of the three open pics to select them.   Then I go to file and select new, photomerge panorama. A window pops up for making a new photomerge panorama, but nothing pops up staggered behind it--no new empty file screen or winows ocntaining my open files as I have seen in the tutorials). I leave it on auto and click add open files. All three titles show up in the window. Then I click OK. Nothing happens. There is no new file window for it to create a panorama in. I do not get an error messae. Just nothing as if I made no command. Can anyone tell me how to correct what I am doing to make it work?
    Thank you

    Juergen_d- thank you.
    All I needed to do was stop minimizing the photos to the bin. When I left them all open on the elements desktop, it worked seemlessly. Amazing- thank you!

  • Photomerge Panorama won't launch

    I recently purchased and downloaded an upgrade from Photoshop Elements 3.0 to Photoshop Elements 7.0. I am running a Windows Vista Home Premium machine with more than enough power on all points to handle the program.
    In PSE 7.0, all functions seem to work fine, except that I am unable to launch the File - New - Photomerge Panorama function. I have tried this many ways, with photos loaded in the Project Bin and without, and always receive the same error. The error says:
    Error 1: Unable to create Window - Internal error.
    Line: 364
    -> var w = new Window(res);
    After finding a couple instances of this error in other users posts, I have tried the suggested solution twice, which is to uninstall PSE 7 and
    then reinstall after rebooting in simplified mode. I did a full, clean uninstall, including running CS3clean on my system, as well as the other steps found at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Try_Adobes_generic_troub leshooting. None of these steps -- the clean reinstall, starting in simplified mode or running as administrator yielded any different result. I always receive the error message above, which leads to a Windows dialogue box which suggests it is looking for a solution, but in the end simply closes the program.
    I am desperate for a solution, as Photomerge Panorama is one of the key reasons I decided to upgrade to PSE 7.

    So tonight I went back through all of the clean uninstall steps, including running the Windows Uninstall, manually deleting folders, and running CS3Clean multiple times at Level 2 until all was wiped clean.  Then in simplified / selective start-up mode, I downloaded the new Photoshop 8.0 and installed it.  So far it seems to work fine, including Photomerge Panorama.  Thanks for the help.

  • Elements 8 - Mac OS10.6 Photomerge Panorama Problem

    When I click on the File>New>Photomerge Panorama an error message "JavaScript code was missing" appears.  And Photomerge Panorama will not open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE8 but the problem persists.

    No.  I did ask Adobe Support and they said it was a problem with the operating system.  Which to me is a dead end.  Hopefully somebody out there can figure out what and where the JavaScript file Elements is looking for and tell the rest of us.
    Sorry for not having an answer.  Good luck on your quest.

  • Elements 10 stops working when starting Photomerge - Panorama

    I have selected two photos and then went to File, New, Photomerge-Panorama.  The program starts then I get a message that the program has stopped working and I should close it.  I have tried to start the Panorama from the Organizer and from the Editor with the same results.  I can use the Editor for other editing and it works normally.
    The two photos were obtained from my scanner.  I scanned a large document and saved the scans as JPEG files.  I have done this previously and have made panoramas of other photo series and it has worked.
    I have Windows 8.1.  I don't think I have tried to make panoramas since I went to Windows 8.1

    I had the same problem with Photomerge panorama (PS Elements 9) on my new Windows 8.1 HP laptop.
    I found a post over on a thread about CS5 talking about dual video graphics drivers. My laptop has both Intel and Nvidia chips and drivers, and after I disabled the Nvidia driver in Windows Device Manager, so that I use only the native Intel graphics, Photomerge Panorama comes up fine. My external big monitor looks crisper with the Nvidia graphics enabled, but I can re-enable that easily after I am done with Photomerge.

  • Photomerge Panorama not working

    Okay, I posted this in the tips and techniques forum, but am getting no responses--and I believe it is a technical issue anyway.
    I recently purchased PSE7 and am trying to make a panorama out of 3 pictures. I choose new-photomerge panorama and get a couple outcomes. If I choose auto--the "finished" result after the program chugs and flips through the pictures and looks as if it is working turns out as a "panorama" of only the middle image. Oh and it's 4x6 of just that middle picture. So, I try and choose the interactive panorama, choose my three pictures, it chugs and flips through pictures like it's doing something and then goes to a blank editor screen. That's it.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software--twice. Someone posted that PSE doesn't play well with Norton, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Still didn't work, so I tried again, using KB articles from Adobe on what files to manually uninstall, etc. For the reinstall, I installed in Clean Boot mode on my XP system.
    So, what now--why is the panorama portion of the software not working? If I contact Adobe will they be able to figure it out or are they just going to tell me to uninstall/reinstall which I've already done?? Please help!

    >> If I choose auto....turns out as a "panorama" of only the middle image.
    If this is the case then maybe the images you are using to create the panorama are not clicked for this purpose. To create panorama using auto feature you should use images which have some degree of overlap between the images.
    In case you still want to create a panorama with images that were not clicked with this aim, you use the 'interactive' feature.
    >> and then goes to a blank editor screen.
    Do you mean that the images selected by you don't appear in the image strip as well?
    I suggest you go through PSE7 help link for Photomerge panorama. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSae2ea3b149d0c3591ae939f103860b3d5 9-7fcf.html
    In case you find PSE behaving differently from as described in the help file then there might be a problem.
    Let us know in either case.

    The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

    The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.
    When things get weird in PSE the first thing to do is to delete the prefs. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

    Since PSE11, you access the photomerge option in the 'Enhance' menu, last option. Or you can use the organizer (menu Edit / Photomerge).

    Are you using Windows 8? You may need to enable DirectPlay under legacy features in 8.1. from the Windows Control panel

    N.B. Microsoft does not recommend turning on legacy features in Windows 8 which they say may impair performance but others have found this to work.
