Photo Merge now creates straight line merges...

In the old days when I did a Photo Merge from Bridge I would find that the merged document would have multiple layers with masks that had quite irregular edges (as expected) and therefore smooth fills. Ultimately PS produced really good panoramas with VERY LITTLE EFFORT required.
Sometime recently, and I'm not sure which CC update it was, this all stopped working and now my merges have straight line edges and sharp non-graduated fills. Where the panoramas have straight lines in the shots or clear changes (like skylines) they jump at the merged edges and are not smooth.
What has happened? What am I missing? What new settings are required to use Photo Merge? I have checked all the obvious places in both BridgeCC and PhotoshopCC 2014 and nowhere does it mention any new controls. I have checked the various help videos and nowhere do they use any methods that I do not use. Why do they get smooth transitions when I am not?
Now I am using PSCC 2014 on a Windows 7 laptop with a smallish hard drive (SSD) and not a huge amount of room (20-30Gb drive available at most) but this wasn't a problem previously and even when I make more space available the problem persists. Am I going to have to wait until I am home and have access to my desktop with 32Gb RAM and TB of available drive? Hope that isn't the case as it will be 3 months away.
Now if this website would allow me I would add a JPG of the PS window to show the problem but it won't let me upload the file even though it is less than the 4Mb limit in size. Then we get back to entering this forum which required me to log-in to my Adobe ID 15 times before it let me start a discussion...

I've finally managed to get a screen shot into this forum.
I have deselected 2 of the frames to show the straight edges of the masks.
Now zooming in to the right hand join we see the skyline has an abrupt join...

After Effect CS5.5_Pen tool problem: No Handles display, can't creat straight line

Hi,
I wonder why in After effects CS5.5, the pen tool doesn't work correctly!
1. "no handles display", ex: when I click an area whilst holding the mouse and clicking / or hold Alt and clicking the point in order to see the handles.
2. cannot make "straight line", neither can I make 45 degree coner while holding the shift key clicking.
I coud use it before, but now it no longer work. I tried "the pen tool" in photoshop cs5.1 it works very well.
Is there any solution?
Thanks

Thanks Rick,
1. Do you have the View Options setup correctly?
Yes, I guess. Beacuse everything is checked.
2.Have you hidden the layer controls?
No.
Are you using Roto Bezier?
No.
3....If it's not try trashing your prefs.
How do you trash the prefs?
I didn't modify any setting in the prefs.
Btw, what does that title stand for "community professional"? Are you working for Adobe?

Flash CC 2014 Drawing with tablet creates straight lines

I recently downloaded Flash and Photoshop from the free student service and when I use my tablet Intuos4, the lines you see are drawn but it's also draws in the far left, the start of the straight line is where I actually start but for some reason it draws a straight line shifting to the left.
I checked if it was my shift key from the keyboard and tablet to see if it was jammed, but on the bottom half of the canvas you notice that when I do use my shift key it still draws straight lines and still goes to the far left.
I updated my drivers for my tablet and it still didn't do anything, it doesn't happen to any other program like Photoshop, it detects the tablet and draws normally.
Help please?

Hi.
I am experiencing some serious issues with flash professional cc and my drawing tablet. Every time I place my drawing pen on the surface of my tablet, while in flash professional cc, a long straight line darting to the left and beyond my canvas occurs. I haven't messed with any of my settings for I just got the tablet today as well as the flash professional cc program. It's very frustrating and is hindering my work. If this problem is not resolved, I will take my business and money elsewhere.
Thank you.
All specs:

CRXI Export to text - suppressed section creates blank lines

I'm using CRXI Proffesional - full version 11.5.11.1470
I have a report that uses the typical "stealth" subreport to obtain and pass info to the container, but remains invisible in preview mode. The fields in the subreport are all suppressed, the sections in the subreport are suppressed if blank and the subreport itself is suppressed when blank, the section that contains the subreport is also suppressed if blank.
This has always worked fine to get info into the container from the subreport while not creating any "white space" on the report.
Print preview and export to pdf both function just fine, omitting the blank lines.
It seems that exporting this to a text file is now creating blank lines for each occurence of the subreport.
I have seen this problem in a couple of forums but have not seen a resolution yet.
Does anybody have any idea how I can stop the exporting of suppressed blank sections ?

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

Why does my Wacom tablet only make straight lines with the pencil & brush tool even WITHOUT shift?

I have Photoshop CS3 on Mac OSX 10.5.8 on a white MacBook and I'm using a Wacom CTE-630, and I always had the correct drivers.
Yesterday I discovered that the brush and pencil tools were incapable of doing anything but a dot or a straight line while I used my Wacom tablet. Using those tools with the touchpad works perfectly! Curves and squiggles abound! But for some reason I can't do it with my tablet.
And I yes I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Wacom website... to no avail.
After looking through forums I discovered that it was a problem experienced by users of tablets of other brands, I couldn't find any mention of Wacom tablets having this issue. And then I saw a thread somewhere that mentioned holding shift created straight lines! So I immediately thought that perhaps photoshop was functioning in reverse or maybe my shift button was broken...
So I pressed shift, and something different happened, if I made a dot on the page a line would automatically appear, connecting that dot to the previous dot I had made. Which is in contrast to the issue I had been having which goes something like this:
If I try to make any curved lines, a dot will appear where I first made contact on the page and then when I release the pen from the tablet a straight line will go from there to the dot at the start of the line. In other words, a dot appears when I start a line and no matter what I do with the line after that, a straight line goes from where I ended the line to where I started it!! ARGHHHH!!
And it turns out It's not a Wacom problem, or it doesn't seem to be, because it works fine with the brush tool in Illustrator CS3.
So I came to the conclusion it was Photoshop that was at fault. I found nothing on these forums related to my issue.
I hope someone can help. Because I was really itching to start digitally painting again. =(
Thanks in advance!!

Yes I did solve the problem!
Thanks to everyone that suggested things, but none of them worked. In the end it was Wacom, yes... WACOM that solved the problem. Even though it was an Adobe Photoshop issue as far as I could tell. So thank you Wacom, you helped me when I needed it most.
So now to the vital solution:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding pen tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Please try the step below for reset CS3
For MAC, please hold pressing command + alt+ shift, then open Photoshop.
Get the CS3 update. Start CS3 while holding.
If the problem remains, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 again."
Worked the first time for me. So spread the word! This issue shall trouble people no more, a solution has been found!

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together. How can i do this?

You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off.

Using Data Merge to Create a 508 Compliant Document

I've been tasked to create a 508 compliant document from an existing InDesign document. This is a document that uses Data Merge to fill in a form along with 2-3 photos, and a location map. Each photo and the map need to have Alt Text descriptions. I know how to apply Alt Text in the structure panel. I would like to add Alt Text to these graphics in the document I am using to create the merged document. When I do so then create the data merged document it drops all of the Alt Text. Does anyone know a remedy for this problem?
I appreciate any input. Thank you.
-Ben

Australia doesn't have section 508 so I'm not quite sure what is required by law... but if it's a line of type such as a description, should be do-able.
Two ways:
1) If the images have a description or a title in the IPTC metadata, the data merge frame containing the image could simply have a caption containing either the description or title on another layer (that is possible from captions) and then that layer is toggled on/off depending on what output is required
2) Much the same as above, but instead of using the IPTC metadata, this uses an additional field in the datamerge database. A textbox is put above the image (again, in another layer) and that textbox contains the description from the datamerge database. Just as in the previous solution, the layer is toggled on/off depending on what output is required.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree and need a layman's definition of what section 508 requires?

Merge Repositories via Command Line

Hi all,
I found the command parameter to start the admintool.exe quite interesting. It was featured on a couple of blogs like:
- http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/syntax-for-admintool-exe-command-line-script/
- http://siebel-essentials.blogspot.de/2008/11/automating-rpd-metadata-export-with.html
- http://obieeblog.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/simplifying-migration-process-%E2%80%93-changing-environment-specific-variables-in-rpd/
- http://www.rittmanmead.com/2011/05/oracle-bi-ee-11-1-1-5-repository-command-line-switches-importing-new-projects-into-rpd/
Now I want to start a merge process from command line with:
D:\merge_with_script>D:\Oracle\OBIEE11g-11-1-1-6\oraclebi\orahome\bifoundation\server\bin\admintool.exe /command merge_command.txt
My command file looks like:
' Open FileName [user [password]]
Open current.rpd weblogic weblogic1
' Merge FileName1 FileName2 [DecisionFile] [user1 [password1 [user2 [password2]]]]
Merge original.rpd modified.rpd decision.txt weblogic weblogic1 weblogic weblogic1
Admintool now does the merge. That's good. But(!) it would be better if it would stop in conflict mode, so I could make my decisions. Would be way better then having an empty decision.txt, which leads to: current.rpd first.
Any ideas?

Error Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge DataSource

Dear All,
please help me with this problem (Oracle release 12.0.4.)
1. PROBLEM:
When attempting to extract data, using Web ADI in HRMS, Word is selected as the viewer, but an Excel spreadsheet is generated rather than a MS Word document containing the data. Also error "Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge Data Source." appears on screen.
We are using MS Office 2003.
2. PROBLEM:
Unable to create data source from HR form PAYWSLEE.
We are using custom integrator. This integrator is attached to form function. Form function is attached to responsibility. We also created the layout.
The next step would be to create data source from form PAYWSLEE, but we are not able to perform this...
In release 11i we used this form (PAYWSLEE) to create datasource (for mailmerge), but in R12 this is not working... Something is missing here and I need your help to determine what. I checked the most documents on Oracle Support and didn't find solution for this problem...
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
Andreja

Data Merge - Not removing blank lines when more than one in a row

I am having the same problem as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2109531#2109531 That post is for some reason set as "answered" though the poster said the latest update did not resolve the issue. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
Thanks much,

I"d suggest you try running the merge WITHOUT removing blank lines, then use GREP to remove empty paragraphs. There's a pre-written saved query in the list.

We have no way of knowing. Maybe you did or maybe you didn't. If you don't tell us what version you have, how could we know?

Create an email merge with Acrobat XI

How do I create an email merge (secure and insecure) with Adobe Acrobat XI professional?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.
