Photoshop CS6 "Auto-blend Layers" leaves non-editable artifacts.

In Photoshop CS6, I created two TIFF files each having a different focus on the same subject. The intent is to create a single file using focus stacking with all subject elements in focus. The methods used to import the files as layers and align the layers do not create any artifacts.
The "Auto-blend Layer" function, however, creates permanent artifacts on the layers when creating the masks. The function creates masks for each layer based on its own logic for determining what is best focus. The analysis is fairly good where high contrast exists however it is not 100 percent accurate and is fairly inaccurate in low to medium contrast images. In trying to edit the masks and even when you disable or delete the masks artifacts are left along the margins of the masks on the layer itself. This is a bug. No matter what occurs with the mask the underlying layer should be inviolate - at no time should the underlying layer be affected by a mask until the mask is applied. When the masks are disabled or deleted the remaining layer should not display any evidence of the borders of the mask.

  • Is there an issue with Edit Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014?

    The command Edit > Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014.1 does not seem to produce the expected results for me. For example, I used the Edit > Auto-Blend Layers command when I was doing the exercise on Adding Depth of Field starting on page 122 of the Photoshop CC 2014 CIB. The results: Instead of the foreground and background being both in focus, only the foreground was in focus. The background was out of focus. And, when I turned off visibility of the foreground layer, the background layer showed as transparent.

    There seems to be.
    See this thread:
    Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

  • Photoshop freezes when using Auto-Blend Layers - Stack Images

    I used to have CS5 on my computer, after which I used the CS6 trial, and I never had any problems when stacking images using Auto-Blend Layers -> Stack Images. However, I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and after uninstalling the old PS versions and installing Cloud, Photoshop freezes every time I try to stack images.
    My computer has very good specs, runs Windows 7, and both the OS and PS are up to date.
    Why is PS freezing? What can I do to fix the problem?

    Sure, here you go:

  • Can I  Auto Blend layers in Photoshop Elements?

    I have seen face-swapping tutorials online using the "auto-blend layers" tool In Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to do the same thing in elements?
    Thanks for the help,
    Erik

    Hi Broad Arrow builders,
    99jon is right.
    However, that is assuming you already know the dimensions (99jon rightly describes setting the dimensions in advance) of the logo in advance, and you're going to use the logo you need for one specific use only. A logo you make in Photoshop Elements may not always remain clear and legible when you scale it up or down. I say that because logos will, generally, find their way into lots of places - letterheads, banners, T-shirt emblems, and other places. You might need different sizes for different needs.
    You might want to use a vector graphics tool like Illustrator for logo design.
    Phew! Okay - temporary fix - PSE 11 will work great! Permanent fix - for multiple designs and dimensions - you might need a different tool.
    Cheers,
    David

  • CS6 beta: Auto-Blend Layers fale

    Doing some focusstacking with 17 images and than CS6 beta stopped working:
    "Could not complete the Auto-Blend layers command because of a programm error"
    Tried it out several times, all the same.....

    Dear Chris,
    I get the posted fale today on my CS6 beta. There is no possibility to
    contact Adobe directly to bring them information. Is this normal to have
    no support? There is only the forum. This is a way, I don't like. Okay,
    because I am frindly and wants to help Adobe I used the forum. But where
    is the button to change my language? I couldn't find the German button.
    Normaly Adobe must be interested in getting informations about problems,
    YOU want to sell your products. I didn't get money for my time to inform
    you.
    I think you are able to do focusstacking with PS. Look at the picture
    and you can see how many layers I used. For more details a German
    speaking Adobe-member can email me. The same picture works with a
    freeware-software. Name me a reason to buy PS6 for focusstacking at this
    moment?

  • CS5 - Why are Edit Auto Blend Layers (and Auto Align Layers) gray and not accessible?

    I have CS5 and would like to try focus stacking.  I File > Automate > Photomerge with a few photos.  They have been aligned in layers.  I would like to Auto Blend Layers but the function is gray and not accessible.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank you THANK YOU.  As I was doing this I realized you asked me to show my selected layers.  I haven't been doing that.  I thought photoshop would blend all open layers.  Thanks again.

  • Eraser + Auto-Blend layers = problem

    Hello,
    I've been using "Auto-Blend layers" to edit faces in Photoshop. For example: putting Brad Pitt's face on Tom Cruise's face or something like that... However, I seem to have the exact same problem each time.
    I use the following method:
    Two layers (layer 1 = background = original person) + face of new person (layer 2 = cut out from different .psd with pen tool).
    Align faces with eachother (try to match eyes/lips/nose)
    Erase parts to make it fit better
    Select pixels layer 2
    Select "Inverse" layer 2
    Select Modify -> Expand -> 6px layer 2
    Select "Inverse" layer 2
    Delete selected part on the layer 1 with background (layer 1 original face gets deleted)
    Select both layers
    Auto-Blend Layers
    Result done
    This entire method works fine, except for the eraser part. (Erase parts to make it fit better) When I use my eraser on the new face to erase some parts that overlap the original face or something, it always turns out bad after using Auto-Blend layers. You can see parts of the transparent background -> it doesn't fit properly. This only happens when I use the eraser. When I use the entire method without fixing some parts with the eraser, it works fine but this way the face doesn't fit 100% since certain details don't match.
    Anyway, I wonder why the eraser messes up Auto-Blend layers. I even tried moving the new face (I used eraser on) to a new .psd with the same original person and Auto-Blend layers keeps having parts of the transparent background when the faces get auto-blended. How can I fix this?

    You probably would have to go into the mechanics of what the auto blend layer tool is doing.  It is meant to stitch two images together  such as a panarama.  Your case is a little different and erasing may disturb the way the tool combines the underlying layers.

  • Where is the auto blend layers in elements 13

    where is the auto blend layers in elements 13? why don't i have a tool bar on the elements page?

    That function doesn't exist in Elements, only Photoshop; however, some people have written plug-ins that will allow it so if you're seeing a tutorial maybe that's the situation.
    Elements 13 does have several layer blending functions, so will any of those work for what you want to do?
    Here is a thread where someone talks about using an recorded PS action in PSE 12 and they include a .zip file in post #14.  I don't know if it'll still work in PSE13 or not:

  • Analog of Auto Align Layers and Auto Blend Layers?

    In Photoshop you can use Auto Align Layers then Auto Blend Layers to select the region that is in focus from each layer. How can I do the same thing in PSE 9?  Thanks.

    No, you really can't do focus stacking in PSE without a third party plug-in of some sort. This thread is about PSE 8, but it applies to PSE 9 as well:

  • Photoshop CS6: Auto Crop and Straighten work wrong (EDIT)

    Hello together,
    I use the Creative Cloud for Students (German) and have make for some days an update of my programs like Photoshop CS6.
    Since today the option of automatic crop and straighten makes some big problems.
    Edit:
    I make following Steps:
    1.) Duplicate the level and make the first level invisible.
    2.) I use the crop tool to mark the details which I want to have free.
    3.) Click on the mask symbole in the level section
    4.) At the end I click "auto crop and straighten"
    It makes 39 little pics out of one. This isn't what I want to do and it is since the last update.
    --> Edit end.
    I hope someone understand my problem and can help.

    Since your question asks "Could we ..." I would like to state that "we" cannot do such a thing. "We" here in this forum are Lightroom users, and not Adobe employees. If you'd like to make a request for a specific new feature in Lightroom, there is a link right here on the front page of this forum to the proper place to make feature requests.

  • Photoshop CS6 PSD losing layers

    Hi, my Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, depsite not being saved just opened.  When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged.  Where there were 12 layers, there is now one.  This is causing loads of problems.  Please advise.

    Yes, thank you, Conroy.  Now I think of it that was the true basis behind my post above.  It wasn't that the Save As PDF operation had flattened the image, it was that it had turned off the option Conroy showed for subsequent operations.
    You can reproduce it like this:
    1.  Open a layered document.
    2.  Save As - PDF, disable Preserve Editing Capabilities.
    3.  Save As - PSD, note that the above mentioned checkbox is now OFF.
    This is a nasty gotcha, and while the little caution symbol is there it's not that noticeable.  Maybe Adobe should draw the red border around it as we have done.

  • Not enough RAM to auto blend layers?

    I'm running Win Vista 32bit with 3gig of RAM. When trying to use the Auto-Blend feature of CS4 I get an error message that says Could not Auto-Blend the layers because there is not enough memory (RAM)." The only way I'm able to get this feature to work is if I reduce my image size to less than 1/4 of my original file size. I started with an image that was 4221 pixels wide, and I had to reduce it down to 1000 pixels before the blending feature wold work.
    Does anyone know how much RAM this feature needs to work on a full size image? Is there anyway I can set up Vista to allocate more of my RAM to CS4? When I go under preferences > performance, it tells me that I have 1641mb of RAM available. Is there a way I can set this so more of my RAM is allocated to CS4?

    I'm experiencing that same problem intermittently, even with smaller projects. The only solution I've found is restaring Photoshop, then often it will work. I suspect theres a mem leak somewhere.

  • Upgrade from Photoshop cs6 extended Demo to full non extended software

    Hi there
    I was wondering, when upgrading my Photoshop CS6 extended demo to the full version of Photoshop CS6 (non extended) does the extended demo need to be completely removed first to prevent conflicts?

    Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 Extended are installed from the same files, available for download. By default, the trial enables the complete feature set in Photoshop CS6 Extended. If you choose to purchase Photoshop CS6 rather than Photoshop CS6 Extended, you may simply enter your serial number for Photoshop, and the Photoshop Extended features for 3D design and scientific analysis will be turned off and hidden from view.

  • Photoshop CS6 automatic shape layers?

    In Photoshop CS6, I have Shape Layer B clipped (ctrl alt G) by Shape Layer A. SL-B has a color fill different from SL-A, and has 50% opacity. Is there a way to automatically make every new Shape Layer drawn to have the same transparency and fill color as SH-B, and should also be clipped by SH-A?
    When I select SL-A and then draw a new shape layer, it copies the fill color of SL-A and is clipped automatically. When I select SL-B and then draw a new shape layere, the new layer copies SL-B's fill color, but not the transparency, and it is also not clipped.

    Play with the manipulator keys (shift, ctrl,alt) or use the boolean icon in the top tool bar. This would allow you to add or subtract from the same layer. Making it possible to have more than one shape on the same layer.
    Just a thought...
