Photomerge problem in PSE11

I am working my way through book PSE11 Classroom in a Book. I am at the chapter dealing with Photomerge. I chose the photo's followed the instructions choosing Enhance- Photomerge- Photomerge Panorama. Immediately a warning came up Error 19: Invalid source format: Error in line 0, at character offset586, in {. The programme then freezes and I have to Force Quit to shut it down. I am running PSE11 on a Mac os system Snow Leopard have had no problems up until now. I have also completed the same exercise on my laptop running windows with no problems. Can you offer any advice - Please. marlets15

I think I found the best solution for this file (other than going over the seams with a partially transparent rubber stamp). I unchecked blend images together box in the interactive layout, and then blended each of the 4 sections two at a time (the top two, them merged them and auto blended the bottom right quarter, then did the same to the last left hand corner bit. I had to undo, then I repositioned the sections a couple times (after one section turned a lighter shade; or had a white line between it and the section it was meant to join) ...and then I retried the auto blend. It finally worked.

The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

Problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air

problem install PSE11 with a MAC OS disc on MACBook Air I've done the serial number, adobe ID, Option and now install "installation Progess" with a message Please close all of the following applications to continue: Adobe Bridge CS4, Photoshop Elements (Adobe Photoshop elements) I've checked to insure those are closed. Yes they are close - press "continue" but nothing happen. HELP!

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) to see if there are any adobe processes still running somewhere in the background.
(Incidentally, just in case you're a new switcher--closing the window doesn't normally close the program on a mac, unlike windows. You must still quit the program itself.)

Interactive Photomerge Problems (CS5)

I am attempting to stitch together a large x-ray that I have scanned in sections from original films. However, when I attempt to merge these films using the interactive photomerge plug-in, Photoshop starts doing all sorts of crazy things. My personal favorite is the Photoshop Error 8800 message I receive almost every other time I attempt to merge more than 2 films. (It says the command "Close" is not currently available). They are large files, but when I reduce their size and attempt to merge again, the films do not match up and cannot merge. Another problem is that in the photomerge workspace, Photoshop will resize a film on it's own while merging the others just fine. Even though they are all the same size, I will have one or two in the workspace that appear smaller and thus cannot be stitched together with the rest of the films. Does anybody know what my problem is? I'm not sure if it's because my files are too large or what. Any help would be much, (much!) appreciated.

Hi there
What version of Photoshop are you using? To use the Interactive Photomerge function, you'll need to download the Optional Plug-ins.
CS5 optional plug-ins (Mac)
CS5 optional plug-ins (Windows)
I do not beleive that the option plug-ins have been released for CS6 yet, but I will check on that.
I am taking this answer from this past post:

Elements 9 Photomerge problem.

I have just tried the photomerge panorama option in Elements 9 and every time I attempt to use it the program shuts down. There is no problem as far as my laptop is concerned, I have a new Toshiba Satellite. I had no problem with this option on my old Dell desk top and Elements 8. Does anyone have any suggestions?

CS4 Photomerge problem

I'm having trouble stitching photos together in CS4. I've been searching for an answer online but all the problems I've encountered are different than mine. I am stitching together photos from microscopic flourescence images. I am trying to get a single image of the entire specimen but every time I try photomerge it leaves one of the images in the corner. It does a great job of adding all of the other images together but every time it refuses to add the last image (it could be the first, the point is that it is an image on one of the ends). I've tried this with several different sets of photos from my microscope and I always encounter this problem.
Thank you for your help.

It could be that the microscope lens has some distortion (pincushion or barrell) that throws alignment off. I don't know how you could test for (or correct) that in a microscope.
There is one way to "trick" photomerge (or auto-align, which I use mostly, but it's the same thing) into accepting images it otherwise wouldn't. Crop the adjacent image to include only the overlap, do the photomerge on those two and then put the resulting "aligned" image in with the rest. Nudge into place.
You could even do it as a two-step process, splitting the problem image into two, first the overlapping part and then the non-overlapping.
Make sure to lock the base (cropped) image so it doesn't get transformed.

Photomerge problems with CS4 and CS5

I am having all kinds of sudden problems with Photomerge that I never had before (with CS4). I do very big files and have multiprocessor MacPro and 16 gigs of RAM and whether I use CS4 interactive or CS5 with the Ul plugin in 32 bit Photoshop is just crashing half way through the operations. I am very annoyed that the new CS5 does not have interactive in 64 bit as any automatic function almost never does the merge properly. But at the moment nothing is working with either Photoshop.
Any ideas and will Adobe implement interactive in photomerge in 64 bit? I am a professional doing large scale pieced-together murals and need the interactive mode and in 64 bit to utilize all the RAM and the ability of the architecture of the system.

Problems With PSE11 and Windows 7....

Has anyone experienced and resolved the issue of having PSE11 open, then closing and then experiencing a crash when you try to reopen it? I bought the Bundle of Photoshop Elements 11/Premiere Elements 11 for my wife as a early Christmas present Sunday and after several re-installs it does finally work on both Desktop and Laptop. BUT(and I stress BUT), if you close either title it will not open on either system again until you restart your system. Also if you open PSE11 then PRE11 will not open and visa- versa. After a restart it works fine agian but only once. Truly puzzled...... My system requirements are sufficent and my OS is windows 7(64 bit) I have completed the most recent updates with Adobe on both systems. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
　 Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
You can also make a shortcut for the Premiere Elements editor application which is located in Program Files if you have installed the 64 bit version.

Opening an image problem - with PSE11

Help...have been in chat room with various Adobe Tech guys...have tried all their suggestions and none have worked. CANNOT click on an image(any file type) in My Pictures and have it open directly ..WIN32 application error appears. Must go File/Open with/Picasa/click Adobe Photoshop Elemets. Also cannot go back and forth between any image programas now...used to be in Picasa, could click and open in PSE. VERY FRUSTRATING I downloaded this PSE11 to upgrade from my PSE8 in order to use my new D7000 which was not recognized by PSE11.

Hello, Nazaruda. This is the forum for Photoshop Elements, the consumer version of Photoshop. Since you have CS4, you would probably get better help in the Photoshop forum:

Photomerge problem in CS3

I am trying to stitch together a fairly low contrast 3D rendering made that was divided into 4 sections. I have tired photomerge in CS3 all afternoon - with no real success (though it works with other files). Generally three of the 4 section blend well, with one that doesnt remaining separate from the others; or coming up with different lighter shading than the rest of the sections. Any suggestions to get it to work?
Also, I dont know much about the layer styles that result. How can I delete them to work on the remaining section?

I think I found the best solution for this file (other than going over the seams with a partially transparent rubber stamp). I unchecked blend images together box in the interactive layout, and then blended each of the 4 sections two at a time (the top two, them merged them and auto blended the bottom right quarter, then did the same to the last left hand corner bit. I had to undo, then I repositioned the sections a couple times (after one section turned a lighter shade; or had a white line between it and the section it was meant to join) ...and then I retried the auto blend.

Color Problems in PSE11

Hi.
I've had Photoshop Elements 11 since December (because it was a free program after I bought a Wacom tablet) and there were no problems until now. I have a bit of experience with other adobe programs (on a mac, but alas, I use a PC) but I have really no clue how to fix this. I don't know what happened, but now each time I use a color other than black and white, it creates a strange rainbow - despite the fact I only selected one color. Here's a screenshot of the colors:
does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using RGB color format and I don't think there were any changes made to the brush/palattes...I'd appreciate any advice or help given!

Also, be sure you're still using the regular brush tool in normal mode and that you aren't using the impressionist brush with a hard brush setting. There are three brushes in the brush tool slot--use the tool options to be sure the plain brush is selected.

Photomerge - problem with auto fill

I am looking for a manual on how to switch off the auto fill function for Photomerge (once enabled to automatic).
On first use of Photomerge there is the following dialog:
Clean Edge
Would you like to automatically fill in the edges of your panorama?
Always perform this action
The question of "Always perform this action" has a checkbox. I did use this checkbox, and now I am looking for a way to reverse that.
I did not find it in the manual, and Google also could not help.
I think in general that to provide such a "hidden option" (and which is not easy to reverse) is NO-GO for good software
Anyone in here?
Thank you for your attention.

In the pse9 editor,Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on reset all warning dialogs.

CS3 Extended: Photomerge not launching, Error 48

When trying launch photomerge from the Automate menu, I get the following error message:
Error 48: File or folder does not exist.
Line: 37
> $.evalFile(gStackScriptFolderPath + LatteUI.jsx);
When trying to launch it from Bridge, I get this:
ReferenceError: strMerge2HDR is undefined
This is a new install of CS3, first time trying to run photomerge. OSX 10.4.10
I noticed another user had same problem posted here in an archived thread, but no solution was given.
Any help greatly appreciated

No, new user account doesn't change result.
Photomerge still won't launch without error from either PS or Bridge.
FWIW, this install of the CS3 production package is running from an external FW hard drive. Don't know if that would have any impact, but I haven't noticed any other problems with the install other than this photomerge problem.

Photomerge causes Photoshop CS5 to crash

Whenever I click on File - Automate - Photomerge, Photoshop crashes. It happens with both 32 bit and 64bit versions.
Is there any easy solution ?
Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks.
Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD6000 - I have loaded the latest driver and also tried going back a couple of versions.
I have also reloaded Photoshop.
Processor is Intel i7-3770 3.40Ghz. 16mb RAM. Windows 7 64bit.
I have 1920MB (59%) of RAM available to Photoshop and 560GB of scratch disk available.
I'm not sure how long I have had the Photomerge problem as I have only recently tried to use it. But I have also recently started getting what appears to be the quite common error "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements". I have not found a cure for that anywhere.
I have searched for, but can not find sniffer - which seems to cause some GPU issues
I have a suspicion that the problem might be in the registry as I also had problems with network connections, which were solved with some regisrty editting suggested in another forum. It appears that some registry cleaners can add artifacts that disrupt networks. Once I removed those the unwanted elements the network worked fine. So I think maybe my registry cleaner may have made chnages that affect Photomerge.

PSE11 on Mac: selection area fading to black. Any fixes?

Recently started experiencing a problem in PSE11. When I select an area of an image using the rectangle or lasso tool, the area I've selected immediately fades to black. Modifying the selection area makes it visible again for just a moment, then it fades out again. I know that the underlying image is not affected, as I can apply edits (filters, etc.), and the image returns to normal when I deselect. However, this is making image editing difficult. I'm on a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I also use Lightroom 4, and have PSE set as the external editor.
I uninstalled and reinstalled PSE, which helped for a while, but the problem has returned. Here's a video of it happening on a blank image file.
Can anyone identify the problem or offer any solutions?
Thanks.

That is strange. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:
