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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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

  • LR 4 exposure problem

    I'm using LR 4 which I've just upgraded to 4.1
    I'm finding that when using the auto function in the develop module that most of my images are coming out either vastly under or over exposed.
    This didn't happen with LR 3.6
    The exposure problem happens after I 'update the process version', if I don't do the update then the auto exposure seems to be a lot better.
    Have you had this problem and can I undo the 'update the process version' to take the images I've already converted back to where they were?

    Hi,
    You can always download the LR version 5.6 from the update page from Adobe:
    Product updates or Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    There is also a possibility that the Panel is hidden, When you right click on the Develop Module on the Right side,
    You can enable the panels. Basic is the Panel where the Exposure options should be reflected.
    When this doesn't work, you can try creating a New Catalog, before you completly try to reinstall the application.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photomerge - Panorama - How to Blend Exposure Problems

    What is the best way to eliminate the differences in exposures in the image?  The are light and dark area and I would like to eliminate the dark streaks (for lack of a better word).  Any help would be appreciated.  The panorama was done in Photomerge - Panorama in PSE 10.
    Thanks.

    Use the Dodge Tool with these settings:
    Size:  200px
    Range:  Midtones
    Exposure:  4%
    Keep painting over the dark areas, slowly bringing them up to blend nicely:

  • Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

    Hi all
    I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
    when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
    Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

    There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
    In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
    I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
    Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

  • Nikon D800 Multiple Exposure problem in Aperture

    When I shoot multiple exposures with the new Nikon D800, import into Aperture (latest greatest version with all updates up-to-date) the image imported looks NOTHING like what was on the saved/merged image in-camera and appears red-red-red. Shot a bunch last night had issue with every one. Think there might be an overlooked glitch here. Everything else seems to work 100% with D800, but this might be glitch.
    So, I wanted to be sure I wasn't seeing things, took the camera to kid's soccer game today to further test, got home and loaded 'em into Aperture, same exact thing. The blown-out ones are the multiple exposures (look perfect in-camera) and as you can see the following photo is as it was shot (non-red ones to the right of the selected 5 that are blow-out examples.)

    I don't think it's magic dust and it's definitely been used for more than 100 years....there aren't Multiple photos, it's 1 photo exposed multiple times with and end net of 1 photo. This is NOT like HDR where you have multiple photos at different EV and merge, this is 1 photo and shutter actuated on SAME photo multiple times. In other words, there is no "series" of photos to look at....1 photo. Cannot understand why Aperture is having stuch a problem with this when it didn't have the problem with D700 files.

  • 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.
