Photoshop Elements :: 11 Continually Hangs During Panorama Photomerge
May 20, 2013
Host computer is an Intel Macbook Pro, 2.4G Core 2 duo preocessor, running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with a 128GB solid state drive and 8GB of 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory installed.
It happened more than a few times while attempting to merge six Tiff files, each with a file size of almost 12MB. The result was the same even after trying the photomerge with just three of the almost 12MB Tiff files.
I checked preferences to determine what the program's system memory requirements were, but discovered that I could not allocate more than 3GB of memory to PSE; it is recognizing not the 8GB which are installed but only 3GB.
I wasn't able to detect how to include a text file attachment here. Hang reports were saved and can be submitted.
I have 5 images I select to make a panorama. Usiing PS CC 64 bit on Windows 7 OS, File/Automate/Photomerge works fine. But when I try to select the photos in LR 5 and Edit in/Merge to Panorama in PS, it opens PS CC and loads the 5 images and opens the Photomerge dialog box as I would expect, but when I click OK it begins the merge process and hangs up and PS stops working. So I can get "photomerge" to work if I choose the images directly from PS, but not when I send the images to PS from LR.
I've never had a problem with this process with CS 5 or CS6.
After installing Elements 12 on the MAC (10.8.5) the menu for Photomerge Panorama is greyed out, so Photomerge Panorama cannot be started. Any other Photomerge function is available and can be used.
Is the panorama one of the missing function on MACs?
Import and Exoirt from the File menu are also greyed out.
I have just purchased and installed PSE11. The photomerge options don't appear under File New. I have tried resetting preferences as suggested in the forum with no effect. I have PSE 6 installed on the same computer.
I cannot make the photomerge panorama function work in elements 11. It simplygenerates the standard Window 7 error message and when it can't find a solution the program closes. In previous versions ( 9 and 10) it always worked and never caused a problem.
Attempting to rebuild the preferences file as suggested for a similar problem affecting earlier versions was also done but to no avail. Its a function I use quite frequently so until it is resolved I will keep using version 10.
I just downloaded Elements 11 and the Photomerge Panorama function is not available, even though the other photomerge functions are. How can I fix this?
elements11 always crashes when starting photomerge panorama. i had the same problem in elements 10. thought in the new version it will be ok. failed. i am using win7 with 16 gb
I would like to create a new panorama in PSE11, but the option to do so seems to be missing. If I choose Enhance -> Photomerge, the Panorama-option is greyed out.
Update: a bit later: All of a sudden it seems to work under Enhange -> Photomerge and then Panorama isn't greyed out anymore.
I decided to take a panorama of the beach I was on, and as a general the photo's came out well and all have around 20% overlap, however when I put the photos into Photomerge in Photoshop CC or CS6 it results in this:
As you can see part of the image decides to float above another part and there's even one below the lower segment. The panorama itself is 22 images, but I only used eight to try and find out if the problem was the number of images, it appears it isn't. I've tried both the "auto" and "perspective" options under the Photomerge dialogue, neither works. It should be noted that before it "blends the images", under the layers section, all of the images do line up.
I'm using the images in their RAW format (.NEF), although I did try in the .jpeg as well, neither worked.I'm running Photoshop under a VM as I'm running Ubuntu, although I did try on my Windows 8 laptop as well, again neither had a good result.
I have also tried using photomerge in CS5, and the same results occur. I used a stable tripod and made sure that both the camera and the tripod was level.
It used to be that photo merge would take the top image in a stack of files and make it the left side of a panorama. How do I do this in PS6? It seems to want to make the middle of the stack the left end of the panorama.
i am trialing elements 11 while following how to stich a panorama in digital photo i put in all the amounts on the sliders as it says then it says click on select all then synchronise to move on to the next graph on the disc synchronise is underneath select all on elements 11 there is nothing under select all
The documentation and information shows a panorama function available from the drop-down menu, but there is no option in the software. Has that feature been dropped from the software?
Using PSE 11, I select several images to create a panorama, then select Enhance -> Photomerge and the "Panorama" option is greyed out and not available.
When creating a panorama in Elements from a number of photos, I consistently get the following error message: “Would you like to automatically fill in the edges of your panorama?” When answering “Yes” I get the following message:
“Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM)”. I tried making a panorama of 2 images (total size 6.3MB) and didn’t get the message. Adding one additional photo (total size 7.4MB) I got the message once again.
This message occurred with Elements 9 so I doubled the amount of RAM and got the same message. Now I have upgraded to Elements 11 and continue to get the same message. Is there a fix? Is the 6.3MB size the limitation for creating the panorama?
I have stiched together six photos to make a panorama photo. When I go to print that combination photo only one of the six photo shows up in the Print window. Only one photo is printed, not the panorama one. I tried using the Finder > Print box and the copy of the panorama photo I had in a folder on the my desktop. That worked. I want to use photo paper for the print and make some adjustments, that doesn't work from the Finder > Print selection. The original panorama photo was a TIFF file and ended up to be 155MB, but I made a copy in JPEG and that file was 13.2MB.
How can I access "photomerge" in elements 11? When I go to file==new all that comes up is blank file and image from clipboard. That is where it use to be, is it some where else in this version.
