Roundtripping to Photoshop to use Photomerge for panoramas

I have multiple photos in Aperture that I want to merge into a panaroma. I use Photoshop's photomerge feature to do this. If select the photos in Aperture and right click to "edit with Photoshop" I end up with a new version of all the individual photos that are being merged. I don't want these duplicate I just want to get them into Photoshop. I realize the resultant merged photo (pano) in Photoshop will be a new photo that needs to be imported into Aperture.
I am trying to find the simplest way to get the individual photos to be merged into Photoshop. I am using a managed library in Aperture so I can't simply open the photos from Photoshop (and if I could it would be a pain to dive down through Apertures folder structure).
I can export all the photos from Aperture and then select them in Photoshop to be merged. But then I end up with a duplicate set of photos to be deleted.
Just searching for a better way.
Thanks any assistance,
Jim
If I select multiple photos

Unfortunately, there's no super easy way to do this. You can open all the photos in Photoshop individually and then merge them there as you noted.
I usually export the masters and then run those through ACR and Photoshop, and then import the merged photo into Aperture and stack it with the masters, and later delete the masters that I exported specifically for this purpose. It's a bit of a pain, and I'll say this is a lot easier with Lightroom.

Photomerge for panoramas in CS6

I'm making single-row, horizontal panoramas. In cs4, PS made the top file in the stack of selected files in the photomerge "source files" window the left-hand image in the panorama. If I wanted to change that, I could use the interractive option to move things around.
In CS6, this isn't always the case. For 360 degree pans, the top image in the source file window ends up in the middle of the pan. In one 300 degree pan, PS inserted a blank space in the the middle of the pan, which would be where the non-existent 60 degrees of the pan would be!
Generally, with less than 360 degree pans, photomerge figures things out correctly; but not always.
What's going on here, and how do I work arounf this situation, to get the left and right ends of the pan what I want them to be?
I'm using a Mackbook pro, w/ Mtn Lion.

For offseet you'll probably want to use the Press Quality Preset or some variation that converts to CMYK unless the printer tells you otherwise (many printers are now asking for PDF/X-4, whcih does no color conversion and preserves profiles so they can do the conversions on their end). Digital printing is bit less clear since there is a very large range of equipment out there. Best bet is to ask the printer.

Appcrash - Photoshop when using photomerge

Hi all.
Photoshop (CS5) crashes when I select "File / Automate / Photomerge". It crashes before any option to select anything so it's not a memory issue.
As I don't use this option often I cannot say when the error first occured.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an Acer Aspire 5750G, i7 with 4GB ram.
I keep everything (Windows and Adobe software) updated.
Have tried using 32 and 64 bit Photoshop options.
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks.

Nothing happens when I use Photomerge Panorama in Photoshop Elements 6

Hi,
When I select files to merge in Photomerge and click on OK, Photoshop seems to work for some seconds, and that's all!
Do You know this problem?
Thanks for all hint

A number of people have reported Photomerge failing with this error message (in English versions):
Error 1; unable to create window
-Internal error
Line; 364
If you're seeing something similar in German, the only thing that's been reported to work sometimes is to uninstall/reinstall, in what Adobe calls "simplified mode" (with background services, including anti-virus) disabled:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Try_Adobes_generic_troub leshooting
The Read Me for PSE 6 says:
Photomerge Panorama: If you receive out of memory errors when trying to make a panorama, resize each of the photos to a smaller size, then retry the command. If you run into out of memory errors when saving a panorama, try flattening the file (use the Layer>Flatten Image command), or save the panorama in the smaller, JPEG format.
Finally, this tech note for Photoshop CS3 probably applies to PSE as well:

I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. Works for jpeg images but not tiff. Suggestions?

I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. It works for jpeg images but not for tiff images. Seems strange because PSE11 manages tiff images in all other processes. Anyone fared better?

Thank you for your trouble.
My images are not usually layered and the particular case I am about to quote, it is not. The dimensions are 10,546 x 2,790 and the image has 16.7 mbs. I use 8 bit colour. When I set up the print screens for tiff, everything is normal until I get to the last screen with the image set upon the photo paper. Then the paper size indicated with the image refuses to budge from the A4 size, so the panorama gets printed on that. I consulted the Adobe chat line and the expert could 't get it to work either. So he came to the conclusion that the tiff capability had not been extended to printing panoramas. In seeking advice, I thought someone might refer me to an updating patch!
Well done! You have confounded the system! I could not find any control that would override the setting.

"Interactive Layout Mode" for Panorama layouts in Photoshop Elements 12

Photoshop Elements 12 does not offer the "Interactive Layout Mode" in Photomerge Panorama. This is a big "loss" for me; and I am now sorry that I purchased Elements 12. Are there any workaround possibiloities?

In photoshop cs6 give this a try:
1. Go to File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack, browse and load the pictures for the pano with the Attempt to Align and Create Smart Object unchecked
2. Increase the canvas size of the document with the Crop Tool holding down the Alt key and dragging
    one of the crop corners out until you think the canvas is big enough to arrange your documents for the pano.
3. Align the layers manually in the document window with the Move Tool as good as you can.
   (you can lower the layer opacxity so you can see the alignment better, but don't forget to put all the layers back to 100% opacity)
4. Select all the layers in the layers panel
    (Select>All Layers)
5. Go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers and use Blend Method>Panorama and Seamless Tones and Colors
6. After the blending it's possible you might see some whats looks like seams, so press Shift+Alt+Ctrl+E to make a merged copy on a new layer and hopefully that'll
    get rid of the seams.
I'll make another post with directions for putting the plugin into photoshop cs6, since you probably don't want to install pse 11 just to get a plugin when
photoshop cs6 is so much more capable than elements, for panoramas anyway.

Photoshop CS 6 photomerge panorama NO AUTOMATIC FILLING OPTION?

Hello,
I use to work with PSElements 11 but now consider changing to CS6 since PSE11 photomerge does only use maximum of 3GB memory, means I can not merge more than maximum 3 pictures at the time.
I tried CS6 which , however, does it properly.
But it does not seem to have the AUTOMATIC FILLING OPTION PS11 constist of.
Is this true or do I have to use certain settings?
Thanks for information - preferably in German, but english will do, too.
Regards
wiedehopfneu2

Photoshop cs6 doesn't have the automatic fill when doing panos as pse 11 does, but really that's a good thing, since you have much more control in photoshop of
the process.
Try something like this:
1. After the photomerge completes press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E (Shift+Cmd+Option+E mac) to merge the pano into a new layer at the top of the layer stack.
2. Ctrl (Cmd) click on that layers thumbnail in the layers panel to load a selection of the transparency
3. Press Ctrl+I (Cmd+I) to inverse the selection (Select>Inverse)
4. Go to Selecte>Modify>Expand and enter a value between 5 and 10 px
(You may need to expand more or less depending on the size of the pano)
5. Go to Edit>Fill and choose Content Aware
6. Then go to Select>Deselect or press Ctrl+D (Cmd+D)
That's basically what the edge fill in pse 11 does for panoramas.

I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years. I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file". What do I need to do to open my NEF files?? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, CP
FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop. Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
1. I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...". The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files. By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
2. I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF. Same problem. Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works. As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
3. I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem. Windows and Adobe progs are all updated. Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem. My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
Thanks again

Preview pictures resolution breaks down while using PSE 13 photomerge for focus stacking

Hello,
I'm new to this forum as well to Photoshop elements but I hope, someone can help me with the problem I encountered ;-)
For the technical background I've got PSE 13 installed on a Win 8.1 Laptop (Core I5, 8 GB RAM). Camera is a Canon EOS 60D with 18 MP.
I like to do macro photography and I wanted to use PSE13 for focus stacking to get a picture with higher dept of field.
Therefore, I used eight diffrently focused macro photos from a daisy blossom in raw format after processing them with the camera raw plugin.
I loaded them in photomerge ( ias "raw" but later I also tried as "jpg"s) and wanted to mark the region of the first photo to combine with the background picture.
When I zoomed in to about 150% the resolution of the image seems to have broken down and all I saw was the details in such a low resolution that I couldn't distinct between focused and not correct focused regiones. When I zoom in to the same magnification but at another point of the processings in PSE13 I do not experience this effect.
With that I cannot use PSE13 for focus stacking at all... That can't be it...
Has someone an idea whether I made a mistake or forgot to fix some settings issues or something?
Thanks in advance,
cheers,

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

Hello,
I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

My serial number is not valid anymore ? I bought my photoshop and I have been using it for a little bit more than one year...

Hello,
I bought my Photoshop Extended (PC) last year in the US. I have been using it for a bit more than a year. Today, opening Photoshop, Adobe asks me to pay or enter my serial number. So I enter the number (again), and it says that the number is invalid.
My version is an official version, I paid for it.
What I am supposed to do now ?
