Problems with Photomerge in CS4

I'm using Photoshop on Vista 32. When I try to do a photomerge either from PS or Bridge, it does its stuff, then closes everything immediately. Reboots / changed options make no difference. Any ideas?

ME TOO.
PhotoMerge appears to have been broken in the move to CS4.
Whilst I am glad that PhotoMerge in CS4 is working for SOME, on my two main, quite different, XPP/3/32bit systems (one with supported 3D card, one without) I have been unable to get CS4 to create ANY panoramas.
In CS4, as shipped in the 'Master Collection', attempting to merge only two images that, on the same systems [right now, TODAY!] are merged by CS3 (and ptGUI, and APP) results only in a series of processing msgs during which a file named something like "unnamed_panorama1" appears as a tab. When processing stops, that tab vanishes. Sadly, no trace of this file is seen in the recent file list, nor anywhere on the hard-drive.
Yes, Default Photomerge entries are being used (as well as all possible combinations of geo-correct, vig-removal, various projections etc).
Repeating this merge attempt with 'tab view' disabled results in the same sequence (only the evanescent image is a free floating one).
Initially, my thought was that this was because I had not yet 'activated' CS4. Sadly, 'activation' produced no change: Images are energetically being processed, but the final result disappears.
Copying the 'manually align' option from CS3 into CS4 results, at the end of various processing messages, in an ErrMsg popping up saying that "CS4 was unable to automatically align 'some' images.
Um, there were only two images, and was not the point of selecting 'manually align' images to MANUALLY align images?
CS4 then displays a completely transparent "untitled_Panorama1" image and LOCKS.
Random clicking on the interface produced a "This program has ..." error (I saved the error dump, if anyone from Adobe is interested) and died.
To re-iterate, I have yet to be able to create the simplest two-image panorama with CS4 on two, quite different, XPP/3 systems.
This failure is with images that CS3 has no trouble with on these same systems, at the same time as CS4 fails.
Something is clearly wrong here.

Probem with Photomerge in CS4

I am having a problem with Photomerge. I am trying to merge 5 raw images shot with a canon 1ds MII. I have tried to do this through Bridge, but have also tried Photoshop direct. As you can see from the image attached, the merge is not seemless. All of these images were shot in manual mode at the same settings, only a few seconds apart. I have an HP desktop running windows xp. I have 4 GB or RAM. In preferences I was set at 60%, Any suggestions? I will try converting files to tif's and trying again, but so far, with raw files this is the output I am getting.
Thanks,
Ken

Two things:
1. Your attachments never made it to the forum. Please use the web interface.
2. Did you try enabling Vignette Removal?
3. Do you see this dialog during the operation of Photomerge?
I suspect there's something wrong with your images, or possibly a bug in your setup, if Photomerge is not making smooth blends. As I mentioned, water is not good for Photomerge, as it changes from moment to moment, and details matter when trying to perfectly blend images!
I get very smooth blending with it, and have all the way back through Photoshop CS4. Here's one example, right after Photomerge completed, with only Layer - Flatten and downsizing from 16310 x 6410 pixels:

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
Derek Randall

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure. I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10. In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible. When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected. When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image. In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

Problem with photomerge exposure

I am trying out the trial version of PSE 8. When I try to use photoexposure merge, the program will merge the two photos perfectly, but when I click the Done button, I get a Runtime error box saying the program has to close. This has happened twice with the exposure merge, but did not happen with group picture merge (although the group merge failed to merge the pictures twice when I clicked done, then succeeded the third time I tried). I am using Windows XP.
Thanks, Terry

Rebooting worked; thanks again for the suggestion. Being new to the forums, I cannot figure out how to indicate on the discusson web page that my question has been answered.

Subject: Problem with photomerge exposure
Photomerge Exposure has a bug with images larger than 10 megapixels, but yours are smaller than that. The known symptoms are different too (the automatic alignment fails), but with bugs, you never know.
Have you tried rebooting your machine? Photomerge Panorama sometimes behaves erratically and rebooting sometimes appears to make the erratic behavior go away.

I finally found how to resolve this bug :
Delete those 2 files :
> MACHD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
> MACHD/user/(nom de session)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
Then, delete the creative cloud application & reinstall from here (France) > https://creative.adobe.com/fr/products/creative-cloud
Everything is ok for me with the full new update CC 2014 now.
Good luck+++

I have 64 bit windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium. I have a problem with Premiere Pro CS4, it keeps freezing and Crashing. A simple thing like leaving the project idle for about 15 minutes, you come back and find that it has frozen. Also if you drag out a clip on the timeline you will find that the whole application freezes. Any possible solutions would be much appreciated.

Could be several factors at play here. This ARTICLE might give you some tips on getting your computer ready for an editing session. Note that there are some added tips on Win7, thanks to Black Viper, near the end.

Problems with colors running CS4 and W7.

Hey everyone.
I'm having some MASSIVE problems with colors on my system.
Windows 7 Prof 64bit
Photoshop CS4 64bit
6g Ram
1T hard drive
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
Dell SE198WFP Monitor
The system itself is a Dell Inspiron 530 that I put into a Black Widow V9 gaming tower.
Here is an example of the issue I'm having:
http://findae.deviantart.com/art/Converge-101214480
http://i38.tinypic.com/bjcymr.jpg
The top image is a (admittedly old and crappy, but it shows the problem) photo that I had previously edited and put in my portfolio. The tinypic below is the result of copying that photo from the portfolio, pasting it into photoshop, and then saving it into a jpg. As you can see, the transitions between colors and the contrast are a complete mess.
Thing is, my hard drive recently quit on me, and I had to install the operating system and such on a new drive. I remember having this problem with the system when I first had it, but it either went away on its own or I fixed it somehow before. Now I can't remember for the life of me how I got rid of the problem, and I certainly don't know what the problem is in the first place. I'm tempted to think it may not be photoshop itself, but the problem seems to be especially bad when I'm working with photos.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it?
Edit: I also noticed it when viewing http://findae.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1hni37 in firefox, whereas the other photo appeared to be ok before I copied and pasted it. It has extremely obvious lines of green and orange in the transition from light skin tone to dark skin tone. Annoyingly enough, this doesn't show up in the thumbnail within my gallery at all, only when I click on the thumbnail and see the fullsize image. Extremely frustrating.
Here's another good look at the problem while selecting a color in photoshop: http://i37.tinypic.com/2h6t7gh.jpg All I did was screenshot it a few times, and it deteriorated to that point.

Screen glitches like color blocks appearing where they shouldn't could indicate a problem with your video drivers.
Go to the nVidia site and see if they've released any updated drivers; people often report that updated drivers are correcting current problems with Photoshop.

Problem with German InDesign CS4 Trial

Since the last week im trying to use the Adobe InDesign CS4 Trial Version on my Computer but i does not work really. I have downloadet the German Version but after the installation it runs in Englisch and the Toolbars on the left and the right side are missing. Before i'm using the CS3 Version at the same Computer and it works perfekt. I tried the CS4 Trial on an different Computer in our office and it works perfekt but this Computer have Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
I read in the System requirements that Vista 64bit is not zertified but why does the CS3 work perfekt and the CS4 make those Problems?
I hope anybody can held me......
My Computer:
Windows Vista business 64bit
PHENOM Quad Core 2,4Ghz Prozessor
8 GB RAM
ATI Fire GL Grafic Card

Thank you for suggesting workaround #1!
I have been struggling with bookmarking issues for years here on CS4. I am not bookmarking text frames, simply bookmarking pages, but I have been having problems as described. I thought I researched it thoroughly online, but I was so relieved to find and try this option today.
I have a 50 page InDesign price book. Every page is bookmarked. After exporting as a PDF some of the bookmarks work fine and some take me to the wrong page. In InDesign CS4, I can click through the bookmarks and everything works as expected. Every bookmark takes me to the page I assigned it to...perfect! However, once exported as a PDF I have issues. In Preview (Mac OS 10.8) or Adobe Reader, some bookmarks are fine and some direct me to the incorrect page. I tried Adobe Reader thinking maybe the issue was with Preview, but not only is the problem with both programs--they error consistently. The bookmarks take me to the same incorrect page in both Preview and Reader.
Exporting as a INX file and reimporting into InDesign CS4 is the only way I have been able to get this to work. I originally switched to InDesign for two reasons: 1. I was experiencing the same problem in Adobe Acrobat when assigning bookmarks so I hoped using another program would help. 2. I am rebuilding the price book page by page in InDesign. (Some pages just pull from a PDF document and some are original--created in InDesign CS4. Eventually all pages will be InDesign original files. I'm not sure those details matter, but that is what I have for content in my document.)
Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to suggest this for the rest of us! I can finally distribute a correctly bookmarked price book to our reps.

Problems with iMac and CS4

Hi out there! I`m a sales-person at an Apple-Premium-Reseller in Austria and I`m having troubles with a customers iMac (27'', 3,06GHz, 6GB Ram, ATI-HD4670 graphics with 256mb) running CS4. The problems are mainly when using Indesign. For example if I have a 4-page document with a few layers/transparency and i go to overprint-preview, it takes very long for it to load the images/preview, and when I move the pages they sometimes freeze/jolt when moving. If its a lager document (the customer is a graphic designer, often has to deal with 60+ pages and more, so thats a bit annoying) its even worse.
Since the hardware is a relatively new iMac with 256MB graphic, I assume that there's a software issue. Its runnign MacOs 10.6.5, I did all updates on both Mac and Adobe.
Has anyone heard about similar problems? Could it be that the graphic-card in this iMac is to weak?
Please help

What sizes are the images? "Overprint preview" pulls on the full resolution of all images. If they are hefty, it would be no surprise that the computer is bogging down.
There is an InDesign forum here that may offer more assistance.

Problems with installing Photoshop CS4 Extended (Windows)?

Just got new software today and am unable to install it. I keep getting the following error message: DATA_FILE_VERSION. I then have to click ok and then the screen gets hung up with the hour glass. When I try and force quit, I get another error: autoplay.exe not loading.
Anyone else have this problem with this particular program? I've never had a problem installing any software from Adobe or otherwise. Can't seem to get support techs to answer the phone to get help.

Googling only comes up with a couple things where someone was trying to
install a cracked version they downloaded, so it could be a corruption
problem.
If this is a downloaded installer, then redownload it and try installing,
again.
If you are inserting a DVD and autoplay is starting up and you get this
message, you can shut down the installer process as you've done then instead
of double-clicking the DVD, use right-click Explore to view the files
directly on the DVD without running AutoPlay, then find the setup.exe or
something.MSI with EN in it's name to run the installer, directly, without
goint through autoplay. This would only make a difference if the autoplay
is corrupted somehow but everything else is ok. Since your error message
talks about autoplay then maybe that is the case.
If you are calling Adobe for support, it can take hours, depending on when
you call.
This "open letter to Adobe customers" was posted within the last few days
and basically apologizes for poor support, recently, while they change from
support-provider to another:

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

Problem with Photomerge group

Hi,
I'm trying the photomerge group. When I have finished,I click on "Finished" and the I am back in the main menu with the original photos. Where is the merged one ???
Thanks

I, too, had some problems when using Photomerge Group Shot to demonstrate it when I was using version 11. In versions 9 and 10 (using the exact same image file) I had a very neat merge.
Last Saturday, it didn't line up nearly as well.
Could this be a shortcomig in 11 when this "trick" was moved from the guided mode to the "Expert" mode?

Pen Tool Problem With Adobe Illustrator CS4

Recently, after many years, I finally gave up using AI 9 and started to use AI CS4.
However I'm having a real problem and it's bugging me. When I start to use the pen tool on CS4, it gives me far too much information and interferes with my concentration. First, all these details in green pop up telling me that something is the path or anchor. Second, there is this horrible grey box next to my pen telling me such things as 'D: 62.54 pts'.
Could someone please tell me how to deactivate all these appendages and I can just have mmy basic pen back.
Thanks

Thank you very much Joe..... Problem solved.
It was driving me crazy.
Again, thank you.

Problem with InsertDate (DW-CS4)

Upgraded to CS4 Dreamweaver. After I InsertDate onto an HTML page then save it, I get this message: While executing onLoad, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 94 of the file ". . .Date_beforeSave.htm curLock has no properties."
Lines 90-96 read as below:
for (var i=0;i<locks.length;i++){
        curDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM();
        locks = curDOM.getElementsByTagName("MM:BeginLock");
        currLock = locks.item(LOCK_IND++);
     if (currLock.type && currLock.type == "mmdate"){ //date found    <<<< Line 94
        var lockOffsets = dw.nodeToOffsets(currLock);
           var lockHTML = allText.substring(lockOffsets[0],lockOffsets[1]);
Problem = the date does not get updated when I save an html page.
David Powers steered me to step 4 in the Adobe technote: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19105_en-us.
Tried what it advises but problem remains: date does not get updated.
Pages created via DW8 & MX4 didn't have this problem -- till I upgraded to CS4.
Re Date_beforeSave.htm page (came with CS4-DW) -- Am I supposed to do something with that other than read its commented-out text?
fd

Randy:
Table cell is neither in a template nor in an uneditable region. It's on the html pages themselves.
Get the same Line 94 message after inserting date into a DW blank page, such as below:
