Trouble using Photomerge in CS5

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for a single reason: stitching the groups of photos that I have taken over the years into panoramas. I am well aware of the proper techniques for shooting panoramas (maintaining consistent nodal point and camera settings). So far I have attempted to Photomerge two sample sets of photos and can't get either to work the way I expected. For some background:
Set 1: includes 4 photos of a stadium and the surrounding paved pavilion
Set 2: includes 7 photos of a resort overlooking a mountain range
When I select the groups of photos in Lightroom and choose to Photomerge them using Photoshop CS5, I see the dialog box with choices of Auto, Perspective, Cylindrical, etc. When I tried merging Set 1 using Auto, the output was distorted and bubbly. The stadium was shrunken and rounded. When I tried manually selected the Perspective merging mode, the distortion was eliminated, and the tiles of the pavilion were perfectly aligned as I wanted. But unfortunately, only 1 of the 4 shots was terribly out of place. The left-most image was almost entirely ignored, but a small section of it was incorrectly grafted on the bottom right side of the merged photo. I don't understand why it can correctly align the 4 images while in Auto mode, but can't do the same when I manually choose Perspective mode. Is there any way to help Photomerge recognize the correct alignment.
On the second set, again Auto mode just isn't able to properly render the photo. The photos were taken inside of a round field overlooking a mountain range, but 'Auto' Photomerge incorrectly straightens out the perimeter of the field so that it is parallel with the horizon. Again, when I choose Perspective mode, the majority of the image appears correctly, but the resulting image is heavily skewed to one side. Instead of selecting a central image to represent the vanishing point, the reference point of the photo is on the far left, and the right side of the photo is overly stretched out as a result. I would like to be able to move the vanishing point of the photo to one of the central images, but I don't see any option to correct this problem (except possible a custom lens correction). Am I missing a setting that would allow the Perspective-corrected image to have the vanishing point moved to a spot of my choosing?
Thanks for your help with these issues.

I know you both got blindsided, but I suppose you did list that they were for CC and he took a chances running it on an older version, which you did not specify as being for CS5.

Trouble using brushes in CS5 that were made in CC?

I've been searching around for an answer to this, but I can't seem to find what I need. I have a customer who is in Spain (language barrier, shew) and is having trouble loading some brushes I made in CC into CS5. He keeps getting an error message stating that the version the brushes were made in is not compatible with CS5. Is there a simple solution for this? I gave him the PNG files so he can make his own brushes, but he'd like for the brushes I made and sold him to work properly. Sigh. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line

Hi All,
I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What is going wrong?
Please help!

I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

Trouble using mask layer?

I have trouble using the mask layer. It doesn't seem to be blocking out extra grid marks. I am doing something wrong? Thanks
SIDENOTE:
The grid was imported from illustator into flash. It causing flash cs5 to be extremely buggy. The layer I import itself relabel itself, it either "1" or "2" The grid layer when I place it on lock, doesn't lock! The grid will also cut and paste itself onto a new layer, automatically sometimes.

It would easier if you use the brush tool to paint on the layer mask.
Paint with black to reveal the color and white to hide the color of the layer below.
You can use the X key to switch between black and white as the foreground color in the tool box.

How can I prevent Photoshop from quitting when trying to use Photomerge?

When trying to use photomerge, Photoshop (CS 5.5 version) quits immediately. How can I fix it?

I seem to remember that there have been several threads on issues with Photomerge, have you done a Forum search?
And you may want to provide more information, OS, reports, …
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Need help with a filter to use in Photoshop CS5

I am a novice so please be patient. Over the past 15 years or so I have been using a simple filter that I created in Filter Factory to do some analysis on aerial photographs. I am way behind on updates (currently using Photoshop CS (version 8)). I want to upgrade and am using a trial of CS5. After talking with customer support I've found there is no way to use this filter in CS5 and Filter Factory is no longer supported in the Photoshop suite. Can someone help me to create the same filter in Pixel Bender to use in Photoshop CS5? I will share the details of the filter if someone responds.
Thanks!

Is the result a one channel image? The Pixel Bender language currently supports one and two channel images, in addition to three and four channel images, but unfortunately the tools do not. You should be able to fake the one channel output by marking only a single channel of a three or four channel image. In any case, give the filter, below, a try. It may not do exactly what you want but it should get you most of the way there. You'll want to duplicate it and modify the arithmetic to satisfy the second filter algorithm once you've got the filter tuned to fit your needs.

HEEEEEELP - trouble using Apple ID

Some time ago i changed my e-mail adress and therefore i had to change my Apple ID to the new e-mail. So far so good.
I now have trouble using my Apple ID on my iPhone. It automatically logs on the old Apple ID, but there is no code for that Apple ID anymore. When i use the password i used with my old Apple ID, it will not accept (i have not changed it - only the "username")
When i go into my Apple ID account, the old e-mail adress is deleted (only the new e-mail adress is in my account), so how can it be, that the old Apple ID is the one my phone wants to use?
I have tried changing my password on the old account, by pressing "fotgot password", but the mail to reset my Apple ID is sent to my new e-mail and therefore it is the password to my new Apple ID i'm changing.
I hoped it only was a problem because the old phone had already been logged in with the old Apple ID, but i have just recieved my new iPhone 5s and now i can't get all my previous purchases and stuff to the new phone, because it also wants to use the old Apple ID, and i still have no password.
It is also causing my iCloud to not work proberly.
What to do? Hope someone can help me.

I just skipped the part of the setup with my old e-mail, and did the setups manually when my new phone was done setting up. Now I can use my Apple ID and iTunes and iCould account for the first time in months.
Thank you for your help!

Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen). It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding. I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay. However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads. AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only.
I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz). My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board. All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV). Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender. I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?
