Program error using Auto-blend in CS4

When I try to do a depth-of-field auto-blend with  five or six layers (with or without auto-align first) Photoshop starts to do the  blend and then stops with this error message:   
Could not complete auto-blend layers command because of program error.  OR  Could not auto-blend the layers because of program error.
The NEF layers were created with my D300, and are 4288 by 2488 pixels.  I  also converted them to TIF and tried it that way.  And I tried converting to 8  bit mode - also failed.  If I change the image size to 1000 pixels  it  works. According to Photoshop Preferences I have 1675 MB available RAM,  photoshop is allowed to use 1356 MB.  According to my Control Panel I have 3.00  GB of RAM in Windows XP with Service Pack 3.  Do you have suggestions, other  than adding RAM, for making it work?

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Can't auto blend two 8-bit RGB Images?

    So I'm trying to do a face blend and I've repeated the process three times in order to make sure I'm not making any mistakes, but I still can't auto blend the two layers. Any time I go Edit, auto-blend layers it's greyed out which is quite frustrating. I've taken a couple of screenshots to illustrate my problem. I am using CS6 on a new MacBook Pro. I've looked all over the internet including this site but not a single post I have found has helped me. Can anyone help me with this?

    Three problems
    One of the layers is a Smart object.  You can't use auto blend layers on a Smart Object.
    You have an active selection.  You can't use auto blend layers with an active selection.
    Auto blend layers is not a good choice for compositing the new face, and will give poor results.  Better to add a layer mask to the new face and feather the edges. 

  • Photoshop gives, Program Error, when attempting to use blending options in RGB

    This problem started today when i tryed to throw a drop shadow on a layer. in RGB mode.  "Program Error," appeared and would not let me access any Blending options.  Although, in cmyk mode it works perfectly fine.  Was some hotkey hit on accident or has something gone wrong?  Help!

  • Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

    Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS4: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    Hello,
    I find myself in an interesting dilemma. I've had CS4 for a bunch of years now and have loved it. Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro's hard drive crashed a month or so back. Luckily, I have been using an external hard drive to back up my computer, so when it crashed, I lost very little in comparisson to some horror stories I've heard.
    My Ps was able to retuned to my new hard drive with virtually no problems. However, the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" shows up in rapid succession 5-10 times after I select the text tool. Interestingly enough, if I weather that storm, I'm able to use all the fonts, actions, etc. with no problems. Originally, it was simply a nuissance that I dealt with, but it's beginning to hamper my work, especially today when I was on deadline.
    Doing some research and reading around the web and given the most culpable reason seems to be something wrong with a font, but I don't know which font I'm missing, need to update, whatever.
    So here's my question: how do I get this thing to go away? Is there some file or something like that buried in a backup that I didn't bring over to the new hard drive that's causing the problem. At first, I was just happy to have the thing working after the crash, but it's getting pretty annoying.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Well, I don't know which fonts came from where, to be honest. It's kind of a mix of whatever I've done over the past 5+ years, if that makes sense.
    I'm perfectly fine deleting all the fonts and reinstalling just the ones needed for PsCS4 if there's a file of that.

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

    My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
    Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    What is causing it?
    I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
    After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
    It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
    Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
    Thanks!
    Computer specs:
    Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
    12 GB Ram
    750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed
    2 TB Media drive where the files are being pulled up from/saved to.
    Intel i7 x980 3.33 GHz
    GeForce GTX 470 with 1280 MB dedicated memory

    Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened?  Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
    No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
    Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
    scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
    How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
    Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
    The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
    I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
    If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
    Thanks!
    PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
    It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.

  • Program error message - Photoshop CS4 for Mac

    I started to get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" a little while back, but it would go away after restarting photoshop, so I wasn't too worried about it. But now I've encountered this one file that won't let me do anything to it. As soon as I open it it pops up with the error message. No amount of clicking makes it go away, and I have to force quit photoshop. Always the same  thing. I read up a little about how to fix it but I haven't found anything that works (I tried the file info>copyright idea and deleting Photoshop's preferences, even getting rid of extra fonts, and clearing the library>cache.) Any ideas? I'm not sure what to do!
    More info:
    It's a psd file.
    There are only 2 layers on the files, one is a vector smart image.
    I opened the file and was able to edit it fine on a friend's computer, no error messages whatsoever - so it's not a corrupt file. (But that doesn't solve my computer's dilemma.)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have this same problem. I use Font Agent Pro and I only have about 50-ish foundry fonts activated. I'm wondering if anyone else has found a fix? The second I open Photoshop I get an error message and I have to force quit, let's not even begin thinking about opening a file.
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8, running CS4. This is getting frustrating. I'm considering reinstalling the whole suite, there goes my entire evening.

  • Photoshop CS4 program error: deleted prefs, keeps coming back instantly

    I am running Photoshop CS4 extended on my Mac OS X 10.5.6 OS. Out of no where, I create a new file, try to fill a layer with a solid color, I get the generic program error message. I click OK to get rid of it, but it is erratic. I have to force quit the program.
    I deleted the pref file manually as well as Apple + Option + Shift keys while loading the program and had Photoshop delete it for me.
    What other files do i need to delete/reset for this to work properly again?
    My computer:
    Mac Pro Dual Quad (octo)
    12 GB of ram
    I pulled up activity monitor and it isn't using much memory.

    sounds like a bad directory I would run Diskwarrior or disk utility of the OS install DVD

    Sounds like it did not install correctly. Uninstall, then reinstall. If that does not help, use the Adobe CC cleaner. It will remove all traces of your Adobe programs. Then do a normal install. If it still is not working, let us know.

  • VOB to AVI  using Auto GK Software; But won't perform correctly in CS4

    Hello. I purchased Premiere CS4 because someone in the Adobe marketing dept. told me I could get DVD footage into it. For a year now I have been working with it and can get my digital footage into it and work with it fine. I found out after I purchased it that VOB files must be turned into avi files in order to use the footage in CS4. So, I found and downloaded the Auto GK (auto gourdian kot?) free software and successfully converted the files (which are actually my parents priceless 8mm Reel to Reel footage from the 50s-60s that I had transferred to DVD). This R2R footage on DVD is a primary component of the music videos I'm trying to make for them. Anyway, I can watch these 'vob converted to avi' files on my computer (Windows XP, 250 GB hard drive w/ 2 external hard drives, 3 GB RAM...no problem w/computer) AND can import into CS4, but then they don't perform well in CS4...I can only see thumbnail and might play for a second really fast and then stop, or won't play at all, so they are useless in there even though I can import them. I know I have settings wrong somewhere, but don't know if its in CS4, or in the VOB to avi software. Can someone help me? I watched some of the tutorials in the CS4 help section, and one 'teacher' said, "...and if you need to import DVDs, you can do that too." But then he doesn't tell you how to do it and I can't find anything on the subject. Any help will be appreciated. Do other video editing programs make it easier to import DVD footage? My parents are old...I can't wait too much longer...it's been a year I've been trying to do this. Thank you, Claudia Barrington
