PSE7 Photomerge faces

I am trying to photomerge faces using the guided edit. Whenever I have both pictures open, Source & Final, it shrinks the final one down so it's really small...thumbnail size. The source one stays it's original size. Sometimes it shrinks both the source & final one down to thumbnail size. How do I keep them the original size so I can photomerge the faces?
Thank you for your help.

You need to start with images that are not hugely different in physical size, or PSE will have to resize one to make it fit. If you have an image that is 3" x 5" at 72 ppi and one that is 3x5 at 300 ppi, those images are not remotely the same size and either one is going to have to get shrunk , or the other will be pixelated.

Photomerge Faces and Groups

I use Photoshop CS3 and have recently seen Photoshop Elements which has a number of features such as Photomerge Faces and Photomerte groups. These don't seem to exist in the full version of Photoshop. Is this true or is there a way to add these plugins? It would seem strange that a simplified version of Photoshop could have some more sophisticated features that the full and expensive version!

To get those features you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 09 or iPhoto 11.

Looks like I had '09 at one point in time, then I had a flubb up with icons and stuff. I just wound up updating everything to '11 and Lion.

PSE7 Photomerge Panorama Error

I get the following error everytime I try to create a Photomerge Panorama
Error 1: Unable to create Window
-Internal error.
Line: 364
-> var w = new Window(res);
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running Windows XP with a 22" LCD widescreen display.
Any help would be much appreciated

Had this problem for a long time tried all sorts of solutions non worked. Eventaully managed to extrct from a adobe a tech support phone number, so in desperation I rang the number , sprise suprise India.
Whilst the engineer was researching the problem on his computer with me on hold I decided to start up PSE7 and get the editor up ready to try it and report the exact wording of the report message that comes up when you try to use panorama.
To my complete suprise it now worked properly, so I tried it by shutting it down once or twice whilst I still had the engineer and it was consitantly ok. have tried it for a few days since and still working!!!
What tyhe connection is I dont know nor does he but sufficent to th end result. Its worth a go.

Help with photomering faces

Newbie -I am using PSE 8. When I open the photomerge face page and upload photos- the one I am to 'get face' from is always smaller and it does not work. How can I change this???

Ht turk35
Since PSE9 all of the photo merge functions are devalued.
They only work with luck, and the ability to arrange and overlap images, as in earlier versions, is now gone!

Adding face to another face

I am trying to copy & paste (not sure if that's the correct photoshop terminology) a face onto a different face. I am having troubles figuring out how to do this. Is there a section under Guided Edit that will help with this?? I tried to lasso the image of the face I was going to "paste" onto the original and it pasted but it had the "lasso" image around it...does this make sense? Thank you for your help.

If you are using PSE 6 or 7 go to File>New>Photomerge Faces and Guided Edit will walk you through it.

Can someone help me using the facial blend feature in Elements 6 ??

I am trying to merge faces into a phot and i am hoping for some help,...i am a rookie here, so i could use some step by step guidance if possible.
Greatfully appreciated, thanks so much !!!

Do you mean Photomerge Faces? Open the two photos in Guided Edit. The Final photo is the one you will move the features into from the Source photo. It helps to make sure they are a similar size before you start. Then you put the little targets over the eyes and mouth and do the align, then use the pencil tool in the source photo to indicate what you want to move to the Final photo.
Guided Edit should walk you through it pretty well, if you just follow the steps there.

How to create a Photomerge panorama in PSE7?

I am having trouble finding the Photomerge option in PSE7 that will allow me to take a number of individual panarama photos and merge these into one long photo. Can anybody provide me with guidance please?

Thank you for that, I was having trouble finding the menu item. I have now created a panarama picture thanks to your help. Now my question is how to include the picture in the organiser. We I tried to do this after saving the new picture it said I could not do it as it already existed in the catalogue, but I cannot see the picture in the Organiser view.

Photomerge Panorama not initiating in PSE7

After reading many other threads on problems with Photomerge Panorama in PSE7 I wasn't able to find one that had the same problem with me.
When I add the selected pics to the Organizer and choose Photomerge Panorama, a new Editor window opens with the select pics shown along the bottom with an additional blank file called Untitled_Panorama1. The process then stops here. No error message pops up or anything.
I am running Windows 7 with 4 gb of ram. Any help would be appreciated!

There's nothing out of the ordinary about that image size, either. I don't have PSE7 installed, and I didn't find any troubleshooting information about panoramas and PSE7 when I searched the Adobe website, so I can't offer any more advice.
I think you'll be impressed with that Microsoft program.
If you're thinking about purchasing PSE10, you might want to wait another month until the new version is released.

Photomerge panorama PSE7 wrong image order 360 view

Hi,
I have been using PSE7 and photomerge panorama for over a year on Windows XP with no problems. Recently I tried stitching together eight images which formed a 360 view. The problem is the resulting panorama is in the wrong direction, or image order. To clarify, the eight images were taken left to right of an ocean view from a forest bluff, with my back to the sun. So the sun is shining through the trees behind me, and image 1 is trees on the left side, image 2 is trees and ocean, with 3 and 4 being the ocean center and 8 being trees on the right side. The images are titled 1 thru 8, and they are ordered in the dialog box 1 thru 8. No matter what I do, all the photomerge panorama functions, except interactive, reverse the image order making the sun coming through the trees the center of the panorama, and not the ocean. So the panorama I get is always 4 thru 8, 1 thru 3 not the 1 thru 8 that I selected. All images were taken on a Canon G10 with 30% overlap for each image, on a tripod, no change in focal length, but some small variation in exposure. My only solution is to use the interactive feature, but the results are not nearly as good as using auto or cylindrical. The perspective option does not work because it is a 360 view.
Thank you to those who have read my mini essay to this point, and an even bigger thank you in advance if you can help me solve this challenge. So far I have not found this issue in any other post.
Cheers,
Ryan

Now that you mention it I've never seen any way to specify which image is leftmost.
You could create a slightly less than 360 degree pano, then merge the last image in separately... I suppose you'd still chance it going in on either end though.
Sure seems like a feature they definitely should have included.

PSE7 Faces tagging doesn't work (No items are selected)

Hi,
I try to use the Faces tagging feature in PSE 7 (with windows vista 32bit sp1) but it doesn't work.
For some reasons, the faces tagging interface never display the photos I've selected. In the lower left corner, it says "No items are selected".
I tried selecting zero, one or more photos in the photo browser. When I select zero photos, it asks me if I want to find faces on all the displayed picture (I have about 5 000 pictures) but none appears in the faces tagging interface.
The menu item Find->Find Faces for tagging and the button Face Faces for Tagging give the same result (doesn't work).
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi,
Thanks for the help, but it did not work :(
I tried two times:
1) The repair command said it did not find any error and I said No to "Repair anyway", then optimized.
2) Same thing, but I said yes to Repair anyway with the Visually similar content checkbox checked.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Photoshop CC 2014 can't find JavaScript plug-in for Photomerge

Hello,
I'm trying to use the Photomerge tool in Photoshop CC 2014 on my computer (Windows 7, 64-bit) and am getting an error that says "Could not complete the Photomerge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in." The same thing happens with Lens Correction and Merge to HDR Pro. I have the most recent update of Photoshop CC 2014.
Per other suggestions in these forums about this issue, I have tried:
Turning off my virus protection in case it was preventing the program from accessing the scripts per this tip
Downloading and following the instructions on Adobe's site here to copy an additional Scripting folder to my Photoshop program folder
Uninstalling and reinstalling the program, followed by a system reboot
Talking to Adobe customer support (who tried to solve the problem for well over an hour and also uninstalled and reinstalled the program)
It looks like the Photomerge file is in the right place (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets\Scripts):
And so I am now out of ideas on how to fix this. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Here is my menu Help>System Info.... for my working windows CC 2014 check it with yours check the plugin section and try removing any third party plug-ins they may interfear????

Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

Hi
b Summary of problem:
*I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
*I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
*I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
b HOWEVER...
*I can edit same footage in PRE7
*This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
*I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
*Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
*PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
*OS: Vista 64 bit
b Detail:
I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
Please someone help before I lose the plot.
Thanks
Patrick

Hi
I'd just like to add an update to this post.
b Summary:
*K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
*Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
*You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
b Detail:
As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
*Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
*Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
*Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

Elements 9's PhotoMerge crashes with Mac OS 10.9.2

In attempting to use any sort of PhotoMerge functions in PS Elements 9 on my Mac results in the program immediately crashing, regardless of what I attempt to do. I have successfully used PhotoMerge, but never had this happen before -- until now, after attempting to use it with Mac OS 10.9.2. All my software is up to date, and I have tried every variation on a theme to get this to work, but to no avail. It fails and crashes repeatedly and instanteously, the second I click on, and attempt to move, a photo from the project bin to the "Final" window for use as the base image. Has anyone else had this problem? It is infuriating.

Barbara:
     No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth; it just seems that way. Sorry about that. I'm afraid that actual work came up, and I have been sidetracked with it until this evening.
     Anyway, I wasn't sure how to go about creating a new admin user, as per your suggestion, so I went back into PSE to see if somehow something had miraculously changed. And, lo and behold, it had: This time PSE allowed me to move a photo to the "Final" window to use as a base image without a hitch. But only once. The next time I tried it, it failed again. But being thick-headed, I tried again once more and it worked. And it continues to work -- knock wood. I cannot explain what happened or why it changed, but that's where it stands at the moment.
     Thank you for your help and advice. I might have to seek it again if this quirk reappears. Thanks very much again.

Hallo Knorrli - Deine Meldung ist bei mir gelandet
Ich habe damit überhaupt nichts zu tun. Adobe hat im Forum Mist gebaut!
Ruf doch bitte bei Adobe an!

PSE 8 - Photomerge Panorama not working?

Trial version (is Panorama disabled in trial?), XP, default preferences
File->New->Photomerge Panorama and select either 2 open files or 2 files off disk. Tried Auto reposition, manual , and in both cases, the program thinks for a couple seconds and then shows me an empty file on screen (checkerboard) entitled Untitled_Panorama1.
Tried a series of different photos, and have done this before in PSE7 with no trouble, so this is puzzling.
Is this a bug?

John, I want to add some other information for you concenring this problem with Photomerge Panorama in PSE 8 that you have been looking into, as I too get the error message you detailed in your earlier comments on this problem. I tried your solution (saving for the web) and found that it did work but, of course, it is a pain having to do this workaround. Then, quite by chance I found that Photomerge Panorama was working correctly and so I tried several files, some of which had not worked before!
Tonight, the old problem returned and I have been able to replicate both the problem and the solution. If I have the Organiser open (which I must) but not the Editor, then it works fine. If I then try to do another panorama with new files, then it usually throws up the error message and fails to work. Any further attempts with the image files (or previous ones that have worked) also fail, ending with the error message. However, if I close the application completely, and then reopen it, the same files will work perfectly with Photomerge Panorama.
Maybe this throws some new light on the cause for you? (and hopefully Adobe if they read this posting). Is it a memory problem? (I have 1 GB of RAM)
It is certainly very odd.
On another matter, but kind of memory/processor related, although I doubt if you will remember this, but last year when PSE 7 was announced but before it was available, I queried the processor spec moving up to requiring a 2GHz processor (it was a huge leap in spec from previously required processors and also not a size much then available for PC Notebook users!
You kindly advised that you thought it was more a case of "sloppy marketing" which seemed to be borne out by some later advice that I received and sent you and others from Adobe Technical suppoort. Recently, when I saw that PSE 8 required a 1.6 GHz or faster processor (the website spec sheet) I was pleased and thoughtful! Today, my purchased copy of PSE8 arrived. (I have been using a free trial version). Guess what, on the box the processor specification is "2 GHz or faster" So now we have either another case of "sloppy marketing" or perhaps, it DOES need 2 GHz and maybe this is the problem/part of the problem with Photomerge Panaroma not functioning correctly/consistently?
Maybe though, it IS just a bug and one that I really hope that Adobe can address and rectify AND thsat we don't have to wait until PSE 9. That would be very, very poor.
How do you report bugs/possible bugs to Adobe or will you further report the issue, assuming that you can replicate what I have found with Photomerge Panorama?
Hope this posting is helpful to you and others experiencing this problem with PSE 8
Kind regards
