Photomerge wigs out.  How do I fix it?

Photomerge sometimes makes an out-of-focus swath across two of the images that it puts together. Here is one image with the problem. From the right side about ¼ way up, the out-of-focus swath goes almost half way up to the left side.  This image was created using 4 images stacked vertically, not horizontally.  Can anyone suggest how I can make Photomerge work it’s magic on images that it wigs out on?

Your images are taken with different focus points?  It looks as though it's selected data from a photo where the background was in focus and the foreground flowers were not.
There is some noise in your data (high ISO?) that may have influenced Photoshop's decisions.
On a hunch, to test the theory that the noise is a factor, try downsampling all the images to 50% in each dimension, saving the files as PSDs, then running PhotoMerge on those PSDs.  If it selects from the exposures more appropriately then you'll know.
If the noise really is the factor, maybe you could do some things to influence it, such as cropping the images ahead of time so that only the in-focus parts are available to PhotoMerge.

    I am trying to install update on phone and it says computer timing out, how do I fix that

    For me it worked when I switched the virus protection off while doing the installation. After you run the installation you then switch the virus protection back on.
    Hope it works for you too!

  • Working w/ existing HTML - there's no stage, and "snap to guides" greyed out - how do I fix this?

    I designed my page in Dreamweaver CS6, and I want to animate the elements with Edge Animate...
    I've noticed, though, that I don't have a Stage in the Elements panel, I'm trying to follow along some instructions/tutorials and a lot seems to start with adding code to the stage or code that references the stage... in lieu of this, do I just create a .container div and use it the same way?
    ALSO, I can't seem to use the "snap-to-guides" Feature in the View menu... it stays greyed out, how do I turn that feature on?
    PLUS it's not allowing me to switch anything from px to %! I select any of my div's in the elements panel and the little px to % switches are greyed out!!
    ... basically what I'm trying to do is center an image/symbol on my web page but without guides, that's tricky and I'm just estimating things (I want the starting image in the exact center of the screen when my animation starts...
    Thanks for any help!

    it sure sounds like the battery is defect

  • Photoshop Way Too Zoomed Out How Do You Fix It?

    Whenever I open photoshop, everything is zoomed out! I dont know how to fix it. I tried messing with the zoom on the top, but that didnt help. Does anyone know how I can get my screen back to normal? I am running windows 8.1

    I think what you really mean is that you do not like haw small the fonts and icon are in Photoshop UI on you high resolution laptop display. For sour screen capture contains no image window zoomed to ant size.  If you have Photoshop CC 2014 you could try CC 2014 experimental preference 2x UI. Check  Scale UI 200% then the UI may be bigger then you want...

  • DVD's just spit out, how do I fix this on iBook G4

    I just bought an iBook G4 from eBay and I need to know how can I get any DVD's to play without having to buy an external hard drive? I have videos that I need to watch and I need to get this fixed asap.

    You may have to get & use a quality DVD player cleaning disc
    to see if the lenses in the iBook can be the source of this issue.
    Did the computer include the operating system install DVD?
    That should also be an important part of the purchase, also
    the 'original install-restore' DVD media discs, w/ gray label.
    There are a few things you could try, in addition to cleaning the
    optical drive player's lenses, that may help. An external DVD
    drive may or may not work. USB2.0 or slower could balk. And
    if you need to boot from a System DVD, that won't work; may
    need a FireWire based DVD combo or superdrive (hard to find.)
    Some have suggested to reset the PRAM (NVRAM) using all four keys on
    startup to force this to occur; & let the computer start sound (bong) 3 times.
    "...to reset or 'zap' the PRAM - hold down the Opt + Apple + P + R keys immediately on
    startup - Continue hold the keys till you have heard three bongs.  Test the drive again."

    Hopefully this will help. Various hardware issues are a reason why auctions are not
    an ideal place to buy a previously owned Mac. Companies who repair or sell them
    directly to a customer, online, offer greater value, set price, & a limited guaranty.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Firefox did not launch. I downloaded new one. the icon is crossed out. how can I fix this?

    March 25 2011
    I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
    After restarting my computer today. Firefox did not launch. I clicked on the icon, it started to initiate and then stopped before anything happened.
    To try to fix the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new one. It gave me a message: "The application Firefox cannot be launched -10661."
    I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. That is it has a circle with a slash over it. Same message comes up.

    Sorry, Firefox 4 is not available for PowerPC Macs. You can re-install the previous version from here:

    Or you can find an unofficial version of Firefox 4 for PowerPC here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

  • HT4864 My icloud incoming mail server info is "grayed out" How do I fix this?

    My iCloud incoming mail server is grayed out.  Also my iCloud and Gmail accounts are showing offline.  I just did update to Mountain Lion 2 days ago and now I cannot send mail.

    New Info
    Re: Messages Menu Commands Greyed Out
    A simple solution...
    After much troubleshooting, I have isolated the issue with the greyed out "Messages" app menu. The problem is due to the truetype font Apple Gothic missing which is required for the AppleID login window when you first launch Messages. You can just hit skip when the dialog box comes up, but until you do so the full messages menus are not available. So to fix, just drop AppleGothic.ttf in <bootdrive>/Library/Fonts and Messages 8.x should launch correctly. Apple should have really included this font in <bootdrive>/System/Library/Fonts since it is required for one of their Apps
    Many people in the prepress or graphics arts fields will likely run into this issue when they customize fonts.
