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?
(something like Dropbox)

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?

Photomerge Panorama not initiating in PSE7

After reading many other threads on problems with Photomerge Panorama in PSE7 I wasn't able to find one that had the same problem with me.
When I add the selected pics to the Organizer and choose Photomerge Panorama, a new Editor window opens with the select pics shown along the bottom with an additional blank file called Untitled_Panorama1. The process then stops here. No error message pops up or anything.
I am running Windows 7 with 4 gb of ram. Any help would be appreciated!

There's nothing out of the ordinary about that image size, either. I don't have PSE7 installed, and I didn't find any troubleshooting information about panoramas and PSE7 when I searched the Adobe website, so I can't offer any more advice.
I think you'll be impressed with that Microsoft program.
If you're thinking about purchasing PSE10, you might want to wait another month until the new version is released.

How to view the image as cylindrical view in panorama image viewer?

i am facing the problem to view the image as cylindrical view.
i.e, the image moved at the end position ,the image seems to jump to the start.
instead of this the image should view as cylindrical view. i.e, that the end of the image sticks to the beginning of the image.

}plz help me regarding this concept

I have learnt a technique when I am programming in flash.
Assume you have a photo cat.jpg with 10 units in width and 10 units in height. You can have a view(viewport) 10 units in width and 10 units in height.
The following shows the width of the photo:
012345679
To show an effect of panorama, you can draw 2 photo at any time. I assume the eyesight of a person move from left to right with 1 unit at a time.
The original image is 0123456789.
If the person move eyesight to right by one unit, the image become
1234567890
If the person move eyesight to right by one more unit, the image become
2345678901
You can program the by drawing 2 images at any time.
0123456789(zero width for second image)
123456789(0, 1 unit in width in second image)
23456789(01, 2 unit in width in second image)
To display part of image, try this link to a program to crop image

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

Photomerge panorama produces an empty merge file from two images; how can I fix this? Thanks

Photomerge panorama produces an empty merge file from two images; how can I fix this? Thanks

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.

PSE7 Photomerge Panorama Error

I get the following error everytime I try to create a Photomerge Panorama
Error 1: Unable to create Window
-Internal error.
Line: 364
-> var w = new Window(res);
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running Windows XP with a 22" LCD widescreen display.
Any help would be much appreciated

Had this problem for a long time tried all sorts of solutions non worked. Eventaully managed to extrct from a adobe a tech support phone number, so in desperation I rang the number , sprise suprise India.
Whilst the engineer was researching the problem on his computer with me on hold I decided to start up PSE7 and get the editor up ready to try it and report the exact wording of the report message that comes up when you try to use panorama.
To my complete suprise it now worked properly, so I tried it by shutting it down once or twice whilst I still had the engineer and it was consitantly ok. have tried it for a few days since and still working!!!
What tyhe connection is I dont know nor does he but sufficent to th end result. Its worth a go.

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.

Wrong image preview while I am moving adjustment sliders in Aperture

When I move adjustment sliders, a different recently and previosly adjusted image will frequently show in the viewer while the slider is being moved. Sometimes parts of two or more previous images will appear and sometimes in the wrong orientation. This makes it makes it impossible to see the result of the adjustment until I release the slider which is annoying. I cannot reliably replicate the problem but it happens often. It seems random as if the wrong image is in a cache and not refreshing properly.
Details:
MacPro (New) 6-core 32GB RAM, D300 Graphics OS X
Aperture 3.5.1
Moved Library from old machine (2007 MacPro) and rebuilt library
250K images all referenced
Library is big (236GB)
Files are RAW Canon 5dMk3 and tend to be about 30MB
Preferences:
Import: standard previews
Previews: generate automatically and share when quitting (half size medium quality)
library created new previews for all images when I rebuilt it
machine will run processor and memory hard, sometimes around 90%
Might it be a poor choice of preference settings or a corrupt library? Anyone else ever experience this condition? I would appreciate any suggestions.

On a conceptual level, it should not be a problem, but a Preview is related to a Version, and a Version is related to one Original/Master. There can be multiple Versions, all of which must point to a single Original.
You are not adjusting a Preview, but rather a Version. What you see as you adjust is a new rendering of the Version, and is not the Preview you saw when you decided to adjust, I believe.
There are on the order of 8 or 9 other files related to every Original even if only one Version in the Package that is the Library. Very complex indexing going on at all times.
Please open an image, and before attempting to adjust, click on File, and choose Show in Finder -- is the Finder image the correct one? And in the correct location?
Now attempt to adjust. Does the image change? If so, again us Show in Finder and check.

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

PSE5 Photomerge Panorama Blurry in Slideshow

Hi all,
I have a 7-photo, 360 degree photomerge panorama which looks great (finally). I can put this into a slideshow but when I zoom & pan, the image is very blurry or out of focus. Everything looks great in the editor but not in the slide show.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks,
Paul

Hey,
A poster named Barb answered this in a discussion in Elements Village. See below:

The idea is to shrink the image first using Bicubic Sharper then bring it into the slideshow.

Photomerge Panorama not working

Okay, I posted this in the tips and techniques forum, but am getting no responses--and I believe it is a technical issue anyway.
I recently purchased PSE7 and am trying to make a panorama out of 3 pictures. I choose new-photomerge panorama and get a couple outcomes. If I choose auto--the "finished" result after the program chugs and flips through the pictures and looks as if it is working turns out as a "panorama" of only the middle image. Oh and it's 4x6 of just that middle picture. So, I try and choose the interactive panorama, choose my three pictures, it chugs and flips through pictures like it's doing something and then goes to a blank editor screen. That's it.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software--twice. Someone posted that PSE doesn't play well with Norton, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Still didn't work, so I tried again, using KB articles from Adobe on what files to manually uninstall, etc. For the reinstall, I installed in Clean Boot mode on my XP system.
So, what now--why is the panorama portion of the software not working? If I contact Adobe will they be able to figure it out or are they just going to tell me to uninstall/reinstall which I've already done?? Please help!

>> If I choose auto....turns out as a "panorama" of only the middle image.
If this is the case then maybe the images you are using to create the panorama are not clicked for this purpose. To create panorama using auto feature you should use images which have some degree of overlap between the images.
In case you still want to create a panorama with images that were not clicked with this aim, you use the 'interactive' feature.
>> and then goes to a blank editor screen.
Do you mean that the images selected by you don't appear in the image strip as well?
I suggest you go through PSE7 help link for Photomerge panorama. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSae2ea3b149d0c3591ae939f103860b3d5 9-7fcf.html
In case you find PSE behaving differently from as described in the help file then there might be a problem.
Let us know in either case.

Photomerge panorama error message

Get an error message in pse10 on Mac - can't align images (solar eclipse photos) using photomerge panorama?

Photomerge panorama is meant for aligning overlapping side by side images (three images of a canal scene in Venice that overlap at the edges, for instance), not creating montages. If you really want to try photomerge, try choosing the interactive one and placing them yourself. But if you want to set up a side by side view of different stages of the eclipse, you would probably be better off creating a blank file large enough to hold them all and copy/pasting them into it manually, if you don't want to use any of the special programs for astrophotography.

I cannot simply open Word documents. I am forced to save them in order to view them.

In firefox, IE, and chrome, I try to open Word documents and am forced to save them in order to view them. I do not get the box that asks whether I want to save or open (and yes, I have the option to always ask checked in my settings). When I find the document in my folders, it tells me I'm in protected view when viewing my documents. This has only started recently. The only thing new I've done to the computer recently is update firefox. However, this problem is occurring in all my browsers.
(I do not have this problem opening other files, like PDF. I still get the option to open or save with files other than Word documents.)
I have run my Sophos antivirus and have found nothing. I have suspected rookit, but hope it is less serious.
I also do not wish to download any new programs in order to fix this problem.
Thank you!

Try upgrading to the most recent version of Firefox.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.
So you don't receive any popup window asking you to save or view the document? The download just begins all by itself.
