Photomerge Panorama produces small image

I'm trying to use Photomerge Panorama with 3 10MP images. It's a vertical panorama but if I arrange the images manually, Photomerge stitches them nicely. The result is a high quality HDR panorama - but it's only about 1K pixels wide, and therefore useless. I don't see any step where I can affect this resizing, which seems to happen on its own, arbitrarily. Is this a bug? Is there any way to get Photomerge to preserve the resolution of my photos when stitching them?

This is happening with Elements 8.
I'm reviving this thread because I'd really like to use this feature - but it's apparently broken, and if Google is telling me the truth, it's never really worked reliably in any previous version of Elements.
By selecting manual positioning, and flipping between 'perspective' and 'reposition', I can sometimes trick Elements into trying to stitch a full size panorama; I see the images suddenly pop back to full size; but E8 then grinds for a while, then the Photomerge UI closes, and no image is produced. Nothing. Or sometimes E8 just locks and has to be killed with Task Manager.
My source images were TIFF - I tried converting them to JPG - it made no difference. There's nothing unusual about these images, they're just 10MP photos. I've tried other options in Photomerge Panorama, and the result is always the same. Apparently it will only produce a panorama at about half the resolution of the original images - basically useless.
Does anyone use Photomerge Panorama to successfully get a full size image? Does anyone know if this feature works properly in Elements 9?

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

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.

Why doesnt photomerge panorama show final image?

I load my panorama images with photomerge panorama, it works on them, aligns them, etc. but doesn't show final image.

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?

PHOTOMERGE in CS6 is not producing sharp images

I am trying to create a panorama using 5 images. I did this 6 months ago using Photoshop CS5 and it produced a nice sharp image like my originals were. Using CS6 it is not sharp at all, to the point of being quite useless. If I can't figure this one out I am just going to go back to CS5.
both panorama's were created from the same 5 images, in the second one I just wanted to make it a bit warmer because the white balance in the first image doesn't accurate reflect the colours that I saw. The second one created in CS6 looks really bad. Has anyone else been experiencing this? And are there any solutions besides scrapping CS6 in favour of CS5?
Thanks

Your second image looks motion-blurred and/or blurred because of lens issues.
Were there multiple exposures from which Photomerge could have chosen that particular section of the image? I ask because it looks like the noise pattern is completely different in the one than the other. I'm guessing it chose differently which shot to use for that area.
Are these converted directly from raw files during the Photomerge?
I don't know what to suggest except perhaps dialing in more noise reduction in the raw converter and seeing if that will help Photoshop to pick the sharper of multiple overlapping areas.
-Noel
P.S., For what it's worth, I've been doing Photomerges in Photoshop CS6 today and not having any problems with sharpness.

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.

Nothing happens when I use Photomerge Panorama in Photoshop Elements 6

Hi,
When I select files to merge in Photomerge and click on OK, Photoshop seems to work for some seconds, and that's all!
Do You know this problem?
Thanks for all hint

A number of people have reported Photomerge failing with this error message (in English versions):
Error 1; unable to create window
-Internal error
Line; 364
If you're seeing something similar in German, the only thing that's been reported to work sometimes is to uninstall/reinstall, in what Adobe calls "simplified mode" (with background services, including anti-virus) disabled:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Try_Adobes_generic_troub leshooting
The Read Me for PSE 6 says:
Photomerge Panorama: If you receive out of memory errors when trying to make a panorama, resize each of the photos to a smaller size, then retry the command. If you run into out of memory errors when saving a panorama, try flattening the file (use the Layer>Flatten Image command), or save the panorama in the smaller, JPEG format.
Finally, this tech note for Photoshop CS3 probably applies to PSE as well:

Photomerge Panorama has stopped working

I have an HP Desktop and an HP Laptop both just over a year old and working fine. Elements 7 has been on both computers since I purchased them and on many occasions I have successfully created Panoramas. Suddenly - a few days ago - Photomerge Panorama stopped working on both computers. Elements otherwise works fine incl RAW to JPG etc using Camera Raw, editing and batch processing. As far as I can see it's only the Panorama facility that's failing.
I use Windows 7 (and IE9) - updated fully - and have recently upgraded Norton 360 to Version 5 (Again on both computers).
Any ideas what's gone wrong and what I can do to get Photomrge Panorama back?? Below is the error message.
Thanks in anticipation.

Try re-sizing the images first to make them smaller, or select fewer images.

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.
Adobe Photoshop 10
Windows 8.1
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. 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? It's unacceptable for such a basic operation, even if working with truly larger-than-normal photos. It's completely inexcusable when the images in question are of standard sizes produced by current-day camera technology.

Elements 12 photomerge-Panorama

When selecting Photomerge Panorama in Elements 12, program crashes with error message "editor 12 has stopped working".
Was working fine until last week then suddenly this started happening every time I attempt to run Panorama. Other Photomerge functions appear to be working okay, just a problem with Panorama.
Using Dell 8700 system running windows 8.1 in 64 bit mode. Have 24GB memory and lot of empty disc space.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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?

How do I print multiple identical small images on the same sheet of paper?

I would like to know how I can produce multiple identical small images (10mm x 10mm) on the same sheet of paper?
I used to be able to do this in older versions of Adobe Photoshop.
Thank you.

Try using picture package. There is an option to print 10 copies on a single sheet.
1. Select your photo in Organizer
2. Click File >> Print
3. Choose picture package in section 4 of the print dialog
4. Select layout in section 5 and choose fill page with first photo
5. Click print button

OpenGL Best Only for Small Images in CS5?

I've been using Photoshop CS5 daily from shortly after the day it was released on my Windows 7 x64 system. I have a decent dual processor dual core w/hyperthreading workstation with 8 GB of RAM and a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 4670 video card with 1GB of onboard video RAM. Mostly I've been editing relatively small images (10 to 20 megapixels), though I've successfully made some pretty big panoramas.
Outside of a few glitches, most of which were solved with 12.0.1 (i.e., things like crashing or stuck processes after shutdown), I've had very good results with Photoshop CS5.
I tried the various OpenGL settings, and since the "Basic" setting seems to stress OpenGL the least while still providing me access to the new OpenGL features (e.g., brush gestures), I have chosen that setting. Keep in mind this decision was also influenced by the sheer number of OpenGL-related issues being reported here.
However, in the past day I have been working on a rather larger image... Not huge, as Large images go, but large enough that it has caused me some unexpected Photoshop trouble. Basically, it's a set of 7 digital camera images of 10 megapixels arranged in a 12 x 36 inch layout at 600 ppi. Overall image size is 21,600 x 7200 pixels x 16 bits/channel. The image on disk is roughly a gigabyte. Here's a small version so you can see what I'm talking about...
I had this image in 2 layers - the images with transparent surround and outer bevel layer style, and the background blue. The customer wanted the images spread out a bit more so I undertook to do so - by lassoing sets of the images and moving them apart.
Here's where the trouble began. Some of the work involved zooming in, to say 250% or closer, to check alignment and to nudge things as needed.
While working on this image I find Photoshop gets quite sluggish, though it's not hard on the disk drive.
After I moved everything into place and did File - Save, my system simply froze as the progress bar reached 1 pixel shy of a full bar. That required a hard reset of the computer. No events were logged in the Windows System or Application logs.
I redid the work, and second time I did File - Save As... the dialog never came up. Photoshop just disappeared. Again, no errors logged.
Today I ran through the edit again, this time with OpenGL turned off. I found:
1. The system was nowhere near as sluggish when displaying the image at high magnifications. I could move things around easier.
2. I was able to complete the same edits again (the 3rd time) and File - Save As... successfully.
Today I upgraded my ATI drivers to Catalyst 10.6, re-enabled OpenGL in Photoshop, and went through the same edits on the same file a 4th time.
1. Same sluggishness as before when zoomed in.
2. After moving the images around, when I went to use the Spot Healing Brush Photoshop crashed: Unhandled Exception, 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000007e8ebb0.
I don't have Photoshop debugging symbols, but this is what the Call Stack showed in the debugger:
I will continue to experiment with this to see if I can isolate what's causing it, but the one key thing here is that it works with OpenGL turned off, and it fails in several ways with OpenGL turned on with a powerful, relatively modern video card.
-Noel

Thanks for your responses.
I'm investigating the Normal and Advanced settings with this same image as time permits.
So far I've been able to complete the same edits and save the file successfully with OpenGL set to Normal. Notably as well Photoshop was VERY much more responsive.
It's a very small sample size, but one might be forgiven for concluding that Photoshop has had the most testing with the OpenGL setting at default. I do plan to continue testing with this image, as it seems to be a good one for stressing the system and reproducing one or more problems.
I may have been wrong in my judgment that the Basic OpenGL setting stresses the system less.
As far as why I'm working with a 16 bit image and at this high a resolution, I am specifically pushing Photoshop hard since with a 64 bit system these things should be possible, and I haven't gotten a lot of experience working on big images with 12.0.1. While this particular image does not require it (especially for a 12 x 36 print) I often DO work on 1 gigabyte or more astroimages, and I just haven't had a good big one to work on lately.

Cs6 photomerge preferred order of images

I have taken an 8 shot Panorama from the same spot on 2 different occasions but the resulting images are totally different. Is there a way I can decide on which image I want to be at the start as I have tried loading them in a different order but to no avail - still comes out the same, Thanks

If, for some reason, perhaps because of the similarity of the images, the order is the merge is compromised. Since you know the proper sequence, Photomerge the first 2 images of the panorama. When completed, merge it with a third image, then merge that with a another until you have merged them all.
By the way, the reason for this mixup is often traceable to the fact that the original photography did not overlap sufficiently. A safe overlap is 25%-33%
