Photomerge Panorama in PSE 6 - Interactive Layout not completing

I'm attempting to merge ten photos into a panorama using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista, and am having some problems. At first, I tried to merge the photos using the Auto Layout function; while this option completed, Elements wasn't able to line the photos up correctly, and I couldn't figure out a way to move the photos around using the Auto Layout function. So, I started over and tried to merge them using the Interactive Layout function. The screen comes up to allow me to move the photos around and line them up, after which I hit "OK" to merge them together. The process appears to start working, with a pop-up box coming up telling me that PSE is erasing holes and transforming, and I can see the different pics being aligned correctly in the different layers for the photo. Once all of the layers are layed out correctly, PSE says it is blending selected layers based on content, and the status bar gets to around 50% done, then the merge just stops. No error message, no more layers...nothing. Is there a timeout that's happening, causing the "blending selected layers..." action to just stop? It's running for around a minute or so before it stops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've tried to do complete this merge close to ten times now, with no luck. Thanks for your help.

Photomerge PS5 was not working on my laptop but OK on on my desktop
So I found a fix by comparing Photoshop preferences:
> Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers
Change Rulers to cm (or maybe inches or something elese, but NOT percent)
> OK, restart PhotoShop
And miraculously, Photomerge worked again!
This bug is probably noy fixed in PS6, so this may well be your problem...

  • Can the photomerge plugin for the interactive layout for CS4

    I was using the photomerge plugin for the interactive layout light box in CS5.  Now that I have migrated onto CC 2014, will that plugin still work for CC 2014?

    CS4 is an End of life product.

  • Photomerge panorama in PSE 12 chops off part of final image?

    I've tried several times to stich together 4 images in Photomerge panorama using PSE 12. Every time the right edge of 4th image (the right-most) is chopped off (I'd guess about 25% of the image is lost). I've tried the "Auto" and "Perspective" settings. The "Cylindrical" setting turns the panorama to garbage, with one image at the top and the other three at the bottom of the final composition.
    I was able to stitch together the same four images in PSE 9 without any problem.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can get Photomerge to include all of the 4th image in the panorama?
    Thanks.
    Rick

    It's really hard to tell without seeing the photos.
    Is it possible you could post the the photos somewhere, so someone here might give it a shot?

  • Interactive Layout mode no longer available in Photomerge Panorama in PSE for Mac - any workarounds?

    Hello,  after having purchased a download of Elements 12 for Mac, I found out that the Interactive Layout mode in Photomerge Panorama was no longer available (it was available in earlier versions, such as Elements 11). Is Adobe able to exchange my version 12 for version 11, or is there some other way I can gain access to Interactive Layout mode? I have found that the Auto layout mode often results in a message that it cannot align the images to create a panorama. Thank you.

    In photoshop cs6 give this a try:
    1. Go to File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack, browse and load the pictures for the pano with the Attempt to Align and Create Smart Object unchecked
    2. Increase the canvas size of the document with the Crop Tool holding down the Alt key and dragging
        one of the crop corners out until you think the canvas is big enough to arrange your documents for the pano.
    3. Align the layers manually in the document window with the Move Tool as good as you can.
       (you can lower the layer opacxity so you can see the alignment better, but don't forget to put all the layers back to 100% opacity)
    4. Select all the layers in the layers panel
        (Select>All Layers)
    5. Go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers and use Blend Method>Panorama and Seamless Tones and Colors
    6. After the blending it's possible you might see some whats looks like seams, so press Shift+Alt+Ctrl+E to make a merged copy on a new layer and hopefully that'll
        get rid of the seams.
    I'll make another post with directions for putting the plugin into photoshop cs6, since you probably don't want to install pse 11 just to get a plugin when
    photoshop cs6 is so much more capable than elements, for panoramas anyway.

  • PROBLEM WITH PHOTOMERGE PANORAMA IN PSE 12

    whenever I try to use photomerge  panorama in photoshop elements , i get an error message :Error 48: File or folder does not exist. line :41. i have been trying for few days after retsarting my laptop and also updating the PSE 12

    This means that the photomerege function is having difficulty reading the required scripts to run. Have you made any changes to PSE or installed any add-on's that may have affected the presets?
    I think the best thing to do is to uninstall Elements and then re-install again.

  • PSE 12 Does not complete install due to shared technologies install failed.

    Hello,
    I have been reading and searching on this topic for several hours now.  I have tried most strategies to address this issue to no avail.  Here is what I have tried:
    Renamed the OOBE file.
    Moved the install folder to the root directory.
    Installed the Adobe program manager.
    Used selective startup to eliminate extraneous running programs.
    Uninstalled all Adobe programs.
    Ran the install as an administrator.
    Disabled antivirus
    Attempted to review install logs.  There was no insightful data there.
    I have run out of ideas to get this program to work.
    I bought this as the Photoshop/Premier 12 pack.  I am using a Pentium I7 machine with 8gig Ram with Windows 7 64 bit as the OS.
    Thanks!

  • 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

  • PSE 10 - Photomerge Panorama Grayed Out

    I am using PSE 10 on a Windows 7 platform.  When I go into full edit mode and want to select Photomerge Panorama, it is grayed out.  All other selections for Photomerge are available.  Previously I had no problem on the same computer using Photomerge Panorama with PSE 8.  I have tried to research the forums for answers but cannot find any nswers for PSE 10.
    Thanks for any help.
    Michael

    Well I finallly got it fixed.  Had to go to Adobe Tech Support.  It took them nearly two hours to resolve the problem.  It turned out the Presets folder which contains the Photomerge data was missing.  They tried to remove PSE10 and then reinstall it from my disc.  However we could not get the program uninstalled.  It kept finding an error.  The error had to do with the Presets folder missing.  They ended uploading a new Presets file and copying it into the PhotoshopElements 10 Folder.  Everything now works perfect.  Thanks for all your suggestions.

  • Photomerge panorama PSE7 wrong image order 360 view

    Hi,
    I have been using PSE7 and photomerge panorama for over a year on Windows XP with no problems.  Recently I tried stitching together eight images which formed a 360 view.  The problem is the resulting panorama is in the wrong direction, or image order.  To clarify, the eight images were taken left to right of an ocean view from a forest bluff, with my back to the sun.  So the sun is shining through the trees behind me, and image 1 is trees on the left side, image 2 is trees and ocean, with 3 and 4 being the ocean center and 8 being trees on the right side.  The images are titled 1 thru 8, and they are ordered in the dialog box 1 thru 8.  No matter what I do, all the photomerge panorama functions, except interactive, reverse the image order making the sun coming through the trees the center of the panorama, and not the ocean.  So the panorama I get is always 4 thru 8, 1 thru 3 not the 1 thru 8 that I selected.  All images were taken on a Canon G10 with 30% overlap for each image, on a tripod, no change in focal length, but some small variation in exposure.  My only solution is to use the interactive feature, but the results are not nearly as good as using auto or cylindrical.  The perspective option does not work because it is a 360 view.
    Thank you to those who have read my mini essay to this point, and an even bigger thank you in advance if you can help me solve this challenge.  So far I have not found this issue in any other post.
    Cheers,
    Ryan

    Now that you mention it I've never seen any way to specify which image is leftmost.
    You could create a slightly less than 360 degree pano, then merge the last image in separately...  I suppose you'd still chance it going in on either end though.
    Sure seems like a feature they definitely should have included.
