Photoshop Elements :: Photomerge Landscape Feature
Mar 15, 2013
I have a PC with Windows 7 Pro. I have had Photoshop Elements 9 installed for awhile now but find I am unable to use the photomerge landscape feature anymore. When I click on file, new, the photomerge landscape option is greyed out.
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.
i have a lovely picture that is taken in landscape and i want to change it to portrait so i can print it and hang it. how do i do this with out losing qualtiy in the print.
I have a number of multi-page docs created in PSE. No matter what printer I select, and despite them being in a standard portrait size/orientation, the print options ALWAYS default to landscape. I've checked the actual printer under "printers and devices", and the actual settings there are portrait.
This is worse because I must actually use the print options dialog box to move manually through EACH PAGE of the document to be printed, and set the printer options to "portrait" on every page. If I fail to do even one page, the entire document is printed landscape, cutting of page contents.
The preview shows each page is indeed landscape until I do this procedure, at which time it flips the page to portrait, one at a time.
Doesn't matter what printer is used.
Also, once printed, if I immediate open the print dialog again, same printer and everything, once again it has landscape.
There seems to be no memory whatsoever for orientation (other settings, like resolution, are maintained during the run on PSE, but are always lost when PSE is closed). Again, in particular, orientation for every page, individually, on each print attempt, is always set to landscape, no matter that the document is not in that orientation.
Is there even a way to specify document orientation? Is there something PSE does to attempt to determine orientation that might be wrong? Can I make PSE remember printer settings, or at least use the system defaults for the printer?
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.
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.
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 am trying to mrge 4 photos into 1. 6MP photos. core 173632QM 2.2 with 32GB RAM. win 8 64 bit
How can I possibly get an error saying "Could not fill because there is not enough RAM" on a 32GB RAM system? Is there a setting I need to set somewhere to make it use more?
Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner. The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution. I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000. The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
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?
I have a 5" x 7" (landscape style) image that I want to crop in Elements 9. I'm using the Guided mode on the Edit tab of the program. When I use the pulldown menu and I see the 5 x 7 crop box size that I want to use, I click it. But the crop window that appears, is 7 x 5 (portrait mode) rather than 5 x 7 landscape mode. I can work around this by changing my crop box size selection on the pulldown menu to No Restriction, but I'm then just guessing that I'll get precisely the 5 x 7 ratio that I want. How can I change the crop box from portrait style to landscape style so that I can crop my image 5 x 7 rather than 7 x 5?
how to scan an old 1888, 10x12 photo in two halves (left and right), and used the Elements Photomerge to combine the two shots. It worked quite well - slightly askew at the top edge, but the rest of the image appears to be well-stitched - to the naked eye, at least.
After sharpening the image, I went to Guided Edit and began using the brush to "heal" a few of the old marks on the image at full size - that worked well!. Until I moved my brush into the area that had been the left side, that is.. The brush no longer worked. Then I noted that the about 1/3 of the left side was not sharpened like the right side was, either! To test it further, I changed it to a black & white photo. Only that larger right section changed to black & white, and the left part of the image stayed it's old sepia color. I saved the images, closed and re-opened Elements - but had the same results. The left side just can't be edited.
Isn't there a way to edit the entire merged image?
I've saved the image as a high-quality JPEG, and also as Adobe Elements format - but they still won't fully edit. The two are large files - I was thinking that I'd need to save it at high-quality in order to end up with a nice retouched & sharpened 8x10, suitable for framing.
Also, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit on one laptop, and Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on another..(I'm trying to get by with the Elements version I have, due to finances.)
After being able to complete several Photomerge Group Shot projects before, the program is no longer saving them. It allows me to open all photos (I've tried merging group shots from 2 pictures to 5 pictures in an effort to find the error) and to go through all the motions but when I click 'Done' nothing happens. No error. No lag. One of my open files just sits there untouched.
I read somewhere that I should delete my preferences, but I haven't made any changes. This is the only feature I've ever even used on my new Elements program.
I tried opening the program under my husband's user name (new settings / preferences), but the same thing occurs. It just doesn't save - even when the computer has just been booted up and I'm only trying to merge two photos.
My machine is a Dell Inspiron 530S running WinXP 32-bit SP3 with 2GB RAM. I just clean installed WinXP and all windows updates. The only programs I have installed are Office and PSE10.
I just got Lightroom as a Christmas gift that is incompatible with this computer. If this is a RAM issue...or if I should upgrade to 64-bit...what should my minimum system requirements be to optimally run both Elements and Lightroom?
can "Auto Align Selected Layers Based on Contents" be disabled during photomerge?
=> First, most of times the auto align result is not good
=> it takes time to wait for window to appear, sometimes hangs
=> When all images are jumbled together, it is like making jigsaw puzzle.
Actually I got used to Photoshop CS2 where I disable auto align check box...And I manually create the "mosaic" (not just a flat panorama) from images taken from microscope.
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.
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.
