Photomerge Exposure for Elements 11

I have had no success generating a new photo with Photomerge. I would go through the steps of finalizing a picture, but when I click done it is as if nothing ever happend, and no new file is generated. I tried this on two different computers with Elements 11with no success. I am further frustrated that their is no phone number I can call to receive help since this was a time based project and needed to be done in that fashion. Since we were unable to use Photoshop, it forces us to use a different source all together. I have been very upset with how difficult photoshop is to use even though I have done in depth research on how to use the program. I have seen that other people are having the same problems, but there was no solution that worked for me. It seems this one is on Adobe to fix and maintain.

First, I missed entirely that your problem was with Photomerge Exposure - most PhotoMerge questions here are about PhotoMerge Panorama and that was my immediate response . Overlaps are important in Panorama.
Second, PhotoMerge Exposure is best on identical images with different exposures (e..g landscapes from a tripod mounted camera). From your description I think what you want is PhotoMerge Group Shot, that helps you take the best bits from multiple images to create a composite.
Sorry to have misled you.

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure. I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10. In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible. When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected. When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image. In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

No controls in Photomerge exposure?

I am on the trial of Elements 9 for Mac, and I'm trying out the Photomerge Exposure thing. I have converted 3 CR2 files to 8 bit .tiffs in LR3 and opened them in PSE9. I then select them all from the project bin, and click New...Photomerge Exposure. PSE9 does some thinking, and creates an image, but the only tools I have available are zoom and hand, there are absolutely NO tools in the left panel (under edit, create, share). I then have to force quit in order to cancel the merge, because if I close down PSE9, it starts to render a new tiff of the new default HDR image.
Reading the help files, there should be some stuff here, is that correct?
Is this feature disabled during trial mode?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

When you do a photomerge exposure, pse9 switches to a screen
much like guided edit, except on the right there should be a panel
that says Photomerge Exposure with some sliders and settings to adjust.
(each adjustment you make previews on the screen)
When you have made your adjustments and are ready for the final output,
press Done at the bottom right. The render could take a few minutes sometimes.
After the photomerge exposure completes, elements should return to the
full edit screen with all your tools etc.

Photomerge Exposure alignment in Elements 12 not working!

I recently purchased Elements 12, specifically for the ease of the Photomerge Exposure function. To my dismay, even tripod bracketed shots (+2, 0, -2) don't line up automatically (aperature priority in all three shots). When I try to manually align the shots using the three point functionality, I click "align" and then "done" and nothing happens - the resulting image vanishes. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

can you try again with after resetting your preferences. Ideally, if your images are shot without flash, they should come up in the automatic mode where you can easily controle the contrast and saturation of the image.
Can you also please let us know about the file type of the image. I believe you must be using raw files. In that case, please let us know the camera model too.

Photomerge exposure final is blurry

I've taken some photos bracketing from -1 to +1 (hold the shutter and it takes 3 photos) when I use photomerge exposure the final photo is blurry. Any ideas?

Thanks,
That worked.

You may get better results by posting your issue in the photoshop elements forum instead of here.
With that said, When you open the raw image zoom in and verify that the image is sharp, do the same for each additional image for the merge.
I am assuming the merge will create three or how ever many layers (one for each image you selected) , There should be an eyeball or similar icon for each layer to hide the layers from view.
leave only two layers visible, then on one of the layers change the blend mode to difference, (should be top layer) If the two layers are correctly lined up you should see a black image. If they are not lined up you should see a weird color outline of the image. Moving the image until you get a pure black image will mean they are lined up. Change the top layer back to normal blend, hide it then do the next two layers, etc until you are done.
If anything moved while you shot your pictures that will show up as a difference, if everything else exept that portion of the image is black then your image is aligned.
I hope that makes sense. Whether you can do all the above or not, I don't know since I do not have elements.
Good luck

Why no support for element factories?

The XML parser should support user supplied element factories.
That is, I should be able to instruct the parser to use my
class when creating elements and attributes it encounters.
Among other things, this would allow me to exclude certain
elements/attributes from the parse tree as it is being
constructed, rather than having to filter them in a subsequent
walk of the DOM tree.
Both the IBM and the Microsoft parser support this functionality.
Here, for example, is the Microsoft interface I can implement
in order to receive callbacks for element creation:
interface ElementFactory
public Element createElement(Element parent, int type, Name
tag, String text);
public void parsed(Element elem);
public void parsedAttribute(Element e, Name name, Object
value);
null

Node Factory exposure along with some additional APIs are planned
for the production release in a few weeks.

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!

Problem with photomerge exposure

I am trying out the trial version of PSE 8. When I try to use photoexposure merge, the program will merge the two photos perfectly, but when I click the Done button, I get a Runtime error box saying the program has to close. This has happened twice with the exposure merge, but did not happen with group picture merge (although the group merge failed to merge the pictures twice when I clicked done, then succeeded the third time I tried). I am using Windows XP.
Thanks, Terry

Rebooting worked; thanks again for the suggestion. Being new to the forums, I cannot figure out how to indicate on the discusson web page that my question has been answered.

Subject: Problem with photomerge exposure
Photomerge Exposure has a bug with images larger than 10 megapixels, but yours are smaller than that. The known symptoms are different too (the automatic alignment fails), but with bugs, you never know.
Have you tried rebooting your machine? Photomerge Panorama sometimes behaves erratically and rebooting sometimes appears to make the erratic behavior go away.

How many images in Photomerge Exposure

What is the limit on the number of photos that can be used in Elements 11 or 12 in Photomerge Exposure?
Mary Lou

It depends on the lighting conditions.
What is more relevant than number of images is camera settings e.g. plus or minus one or two stops.
In most cases I never need more than three images.

Photomerge Exposure Problem.

Hi, to take a photo of a room, and the view through its window, and ensure they are both correctly exposed, Im having problems in Photoshop Elements 10. When I press Done to complete the task the colour of the room walls etc all look badly colour smudged. Ive tried several times to no avail.

I think that bug probably had to do more with some kind of exif data that pse 8 didn't like, as John mentions, rather than the actual file size.
(they seemed to have fixed that issue in pse 10 from experimenting with the sample images in the link you posted)
As an experiment i used three 25 mp images (6144x4085 pixel dimensions each image) in pse 8 in both photomerge panorama and photomerge exposure and
it seemed to work ok, so maybe your either running up against the exif data bug or if your using camera raw images they may be set to output in 16 bits/channel
which elements doesn't like. Of course ram and the amount of scratch disk you have available can also be factors.

PhotoMerge Exposure Alignment Problem in PSE8

Hi,
I've read that PSE8 has a problem with aligning photos larger than 10MP using the PhotoMerge Exposure feature.
Does anyone know if this problem has been resolved in PSE10?
Reducing the photos seems to help but this is very time-consuming and takes lots of disk space.
Thanks,
Paul

Quickest way to trim/resize after a Photomerge Exposure?

Doing a Photomerge Exposure leaves margins where the images don't overlap 100%.
I can do a Free Transform and stretch the image slightly to get rid of those margins (don't want to chang the image size), but perhaps there is a more convenient and automatic way to accomplish this?

I had a problem similar. For this i created a metod that generate the html code in the String using the variables.
For example:
public class HTMLCreator
      private String name;
      private String html;
      public HTMLCreator()
           name = " ";
      public void HTMLCreate()
            html = "<head>" +
                         "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\" /> " +
                         "<title> Hello World HTML</title>" +
                         "</head>" +
                         "<body>" +
                         "Hello World: <strong>" + name +
                         "</strong>" +
                        "</body>" +
                        "</html>";
                // You can create the .html file here too
      public String getName()
           return name;
      public void setName(String name)
            this.name = name;
}Thats it!

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

This is most probably because the Periodicity input value has been configured as "Required" and no value has been input for it.
Please enter a value and try to re-run Quick Pay.

[Error ORABPEL - 10900]... : Can not find definition for element 'process'
