I select images in Lightroom 5 and then select Merge in HDR Pro. The images go to Photoshop (CC), but when the HDR dialog opens, the imaage area is black. I also have PS CS6 and it works correctly there. Is this a bug in CC?

I recently have been having issues with running the automated Merge to HDR Pro action starting it from Bridge or Photoshop. I am trying to merge 3 RAW images into an HDR image. It loads the pictures, creates the temporary file and shows the changes that is is making as everything gets cropped and aligned.
When it finishes its work and should bring up the extra dialouge window it does not and no longer shows the file that it was creating and Photoshop has the same appearance as though it were just opened. There was never any error message displayed. The feature was working fine months ago and 3 days ago when I started doing more work with new pictures. The problem suddenly occured 1 day ago.
The files that I am merging were shot to RAW on a Canon Rebel T3i and written to a Samsung 32GB SDHC card. I have shots from a span of several days and I have the same problem with pictures taken from all 3 days. Thre are 530 RAW images total. All were run through Photomatix Pro 4.2.5 to quickly get them all merged and I wanted to go back and manually merge some of the ones that did not turn out quite right or that I wanted to play with more.
I have searched the forums and have not seen any posts with this particular problem and none of the solutions for other Merge to HDR Pro problems posted worked for me.I have run updates on Windows, Adobe, and Nvidia and all were up to date.
Adobe Specs
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
Adobe Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 Extended

It goes through the process, when it gets to the alignment of images portion, it starts the alignment process, and just stops working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere is a checkbox called "Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images" in File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro..It seems to me that it does nothing. Even when I shoot with tripod and the unaligment of source images is very small, the end result is also off.
When and how should this automatic aligment work? I have Photoshop CS5.
Having a problem which is easy enough to replicate when using Merge to HDR Pro ... either directly from within CS6, from LR4 or from Bridge it is causing CS6 to stop working.
What happens is that if you are using Merge to HDR then switch to another application causing Merge to HDR to lose focus eventually it will not recover and the Cancel/OK buttons are greyed out and not available. It never recovers from there.
Typical symptoms where Merge to HDR stops working (and therefore CS6) are the following:
- Any sliders that had been adjusted prior to this happening are available to change, others are not;
- Any sliders that are greyed out can still be returned to their default value by double-clicking on the slider.
Photoshop has to be 'killed' before it can be used again.These symptoms are repeatable in the 32 bit version of CS6, the more files that are merged the quicker it happens. For example if you start with the "Photorealistic" preset and have 3 files open (opended using Camera Raw, Canon 5D mkII CR2 files therefore ProPhoto RGB; 16 bit; 5616 by 3744 (21.0MP); 300ppi) it happens withing a couple of times switching to other applications and back but with 9 files open it will happen faster.
And it also happens with AdobeRGB (8bit), ProPhotoRGB (8bit) and sRGB (8bit).Happens from both x64 and x32 systems. The environment is follows:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64

in PS CS5 CIB Lesson 5, the HDR merge command isn't working properly with the images provided on the CD. Following the HDR merging directions in the book on page 139 and 140, the images are coming out very dark and saturated.

Ever since I installed the full Nik suite, LR4's "Merge to HDR PRO in CS5" doesn't work. When I select it, CS5 opens but the files haven't been transfered. Before installing Nik, this worked great.
I can transfer the photo's manually by selecting all of them and using Edit in ...CS5 but that is less convenient, especially because afterwords I have import the result into LR4.
I emailed the same question to Nik and they emailed back boilerplate on how to get their HDR to work.
I have a problem with Merge To HDR and also photomerge. The issue appears to have the same cause. Basically what happens is as follows:
1. Open Photoshop
2. Goto File->Automate->Merge To HDR Pro
3. Dialog box appears.
4. I select the files stored on HDD
5. Click OK
And then nothing happens... No screen appears, no progress bar, no dialog box of any kind. Photoshop continues to work fine as if I had just opened it.
The other issue is even more strange.
1. Open Photoshop
2. Open the files that I wish to merge (saved on the HDD)
2. Goto File->Automate->Merge To HDR Pro
3. Dialog box appears.
4. I select the 'Add open files' option
5. Dialog box appears telling me that the files must be saved before they can be merged.
The exact same issues occur with Photomerge as well.
I am using a 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD (100 GB free), 2GHz i7 processor. Currently running OSX Lion 10.7.2. My current Photoshop version is 12.0.4 and I am running it on 64 bit (although have tried in 32bit mode).

When I try to merge down (not flatten) the top layer in the attached file, PSP X5 stops working EVERY TIME. I have been using PSP X5 extensively for a while (6 or 8 months) and have never encountered this before. All layers are 100% opaque, so this is not the same as a similar reported error. Also happens in PSP X4. I can work around this by cutting and pasting, but shouldn't have to.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhy cant I save a cdr job with all the merge fields setup so that next time I open the file I can go straight to 'merge to new document'.
So Ive set up a 10 to view raffle tickets job. Inserted 20 numerical merge fields, positioned, resized, applied font size color alignment etc etc etc.. Takes ages..... So then merge to a new document, works nice and I can save it fine.
There are a hundred reasons why i may have to close the 'master' merge file before the job has been successfully printed. It may be a repeat print job.
Any which way I really dont get why the live merge data fields are lost on closing the file.
For what I need Photoshop for, I use CMD-E all the time to create raster graphics from vector shapes. I often use this feature to combine shape layers to create buttons. So, this completely destroys my work flow. The only work around I've found is to create an additional raster layer to merge with the vector layers.

Is this a common issue or am I the only one whose getting it? Is there a solution?
I tried the HDR Merge Pro automatism. Used the ScottS template and reduced the detail and hit OK and what I got to see then was completely different fom the preview before.
My Photoshop is up-to-date and I tried another template and the result was different from the preview again.

What I want from merge...
I want to merge several images so that the edges blend into each other, so the edge will start off transparent to full image toward the center. The overlapping areas of the images are where a smooth merge of the image below [or is it above,] should appear.
These layers will be untouched so to speak... no drop shadows and all will be set to Normal. [Should I change this setting].
How I manage to mess it up...
I use the quick mask mode, set black and white for my reveal/hide and use the paintbrush tool but can never make a smooth gradation from the edge [transparent] of the image inward to full opacity. The gradation just does not have much transition to it. If I use the pencil tool and then feather, that too does not produce a nice smooth gradation.
I see that many people have problems with CS5 Merge to HDR Pro. Me too. It works for JPEGS, but not RAW. Adobe just tells people to reset preferences, but no one has said this works. The RAW update download does not fix this. WHAT WORKS? ANYTHING?

I've been using PS for the past few years now, and moved onto CS5 last year. I recently decided to try out HDR photography after realising that there was an automerge. CS5 runs fine on my laptop (Windows Vista, 32 Bit) but when I use Merge to HDR Pro, the OK and Cancel buttons are not visible. I managed to work around this by using the Tab key, but after solving one problem, another has occured; the images aren't showing up on the home screen after I press the OK button.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLooking for a quick, one-step method for merging all layers.
Usually, I Select the top-most layer, then shift-click the bottom-most layer (selecting all layers between), then right click and hit "merge layers".
Simple enough - but I'm working on an "action" and recording the method above is limited because it relies on a file's specific layer names. I want to be able to use this action as a generic action for any project with multiple layers.
Is there a better way to do this or a File > Merge All option I'm missing?
Can you export data merge files to a PDF from Photoshop? If so, how? All I can find is information on InDesign.
