Photoshop :: PHOTOMERGE In CS6 Is Not Producing Sharp Images
Oct 23, 2012
I am trying to create a panorama using 5 images. I did this 6 months ago using Photoshop CS5 and it produced a nice sharp image like my originals were. Using CS6 it is not sharp at all, to the point of being quite useless. If I can't figure this one out I am just going to go back to CS5.
Â
both panorama's were created from the same 5 images, in the second one I just wanted to make it a bit warmer because the white balance in the first image doesn't accurate reflect the colours that I saw. The second one created in CS6 looks really bad. And are there any solutions besides scrapping CS6 in favour of CS5?
The recent Illustrator CC produces pixelated images job when you choose Save for Web. How to fix this or why it just started happening? CS 5 did not have this issue. Â Settings:JPEG, Maximum, 100%, Art Optimized
I know that Photoshop is not the premier pdf creation software. I do have InDesign as well, but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with Photoshop (I have the CC versions of both) so I prefer to use it as my design and layout tool. Â However, when I save as a pdf the resultant pdf file is blurry for images and text, not horribly so, but not sharp and clear as I would like. My pdf files are for the web and emailing so I need to keep the file size in check, but even when I up the PS resolution to 300psi it still is not as clear as I would like. Still blurry. Â What do you Photoshop experts out there do to produce the sharpest pdf possible? Is it even possible using Photoshop only or do you have to use InDesign or Acrobat Pro to get the clarity and shapness?
Working with complex vectors is much better in Illustrator than in Photoshop but when I create my vectors in Illustrator and then pull them into Photoshop, they always end up being more blurry than when I work in Photoshop alone. Â Is there some sort of trick in working between the two to retain pixel perfect bliss?
I just took three images of a sunset so that I could create a panorama image. When I use photomerge in photoshop cs6, only two images merge together and the third image is left by itself. I overlapped each image a sufficient amount but I still can't merge the third image.
Here is a screenshot of the end result. Am I not overlapping enough, or is there something I am doing wrong?
I shot landscape images for a panorama of 4 rows with 6 images in each row. The first image on the top row includes the top of a tree, but the other 5 images only has sky. Photomerge will not merge the 5 images of the top row because it only has sky in the image. I can merge the bottom 4 rows without a problem and can include the first image on the top row, but not the others.
if anyone has been able to do this in Photomerge. When I use images taken with a fisheye lens and turn on geometric distortion correction, Photomerge gives me an image that is shaped like an 's' on it's side. How am I supposed to use that in a panorama? By the time it's cropped to a rectangular shape, there is nothing left to see in the image.
for seafloor mapping. My biggest one so far consisted of 15.000 images. Unfortunaletly, I can't do them in one step, I need to produce submosaics of up to 250 images and then stitch them together manually after rendering.
Since I reach limits, some exchange of thoughts concerning "extrem photomerging" would be great. Has anyone of you similar experience with photomerge compositions that big?
What hardware would you recommend for maximum photo merge performance (PC only)?
Unfortunately, with CS3, Adobe eliminated the option to load the images to the image tray only, without any attempts of Photoshop to merge the images first. This sucks, of course. So I have to use CS2 still for the composition and CS3 only for rendering. Does anyone know whether CS4 has got the manual option back?
In PS CS2 I used to manually align 3 images in Photomerge to make a triptych (not a panorama). I can't figure out how to do this in CS6. Do I need to work with a tool other than Photomerge?
I have 125 raw photos that are 4912*3264 pixels I am trying to photomerge all them using the Cylindrical setting. And it is not working. I have let it go for like 12 hours and nothing is happing. Windows task manager flashes "photoshop not resonding" then it goes away and back and repeats... Processor peaks out only at like 15% after all images load and it starts to process.  I tried going into Preferences and messed with ram allocation etc and other settings.Using latest PS version  I am using CS6 Windows 8 x64 Intel Core i7 920 18 Gig of Ram main drive for windows raid for casch disk for images Nvidia GTX 560 HD
I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display and am running CS6, shooting with a Mark III in full resolution raw format. Focus is on in camera but when I open the images in Photoshop, they do not appear super sharp when zoomed in.
Is this a display issue or a program issue or something else? In the past I can usually get the images so sharp that I can see every pore and hair.Â
We have recently installed Photoshop cs6 on two Mac Pros. On one of them, Photo merge is erasing parts of the individual images while stitching. The part of the original image that is covered by masking, is also erased when the mask is disabled. The merged image generally comes out fine, however, this problem can make it much more troublesome if one needs to adjust the combined image.  On the second Mac, Photo merge works the way that it seems to work in all examples I´ve found online - the individual images retain all their pixels under the mask.  The method we´re using is Layout: Auto, with "blend images together" as the only checked box.
For some reason images in the library module aren’t as sharp compared to the develop module. If I’m in develop images are nice and sharp but as soon as I select the library you can see the image quality drop and image becomes less blurry!
Running CS6 Basic on W7-64bit. I'm not a frequent user of CS6, mostly Photoshop Elements does all I need, but I've been reworking the CS5 Classroom in a Book exercises to refresh my CS6 knowledge. Â I've reached the exercise (page 139) where multiple images of a model are merged using File> Automate> Merge to HDR Pro... but getting a weird result in CS6 64-bit. I've tried (resetting preferences, ensuring images are displayed in tabs) but neither has worked. My graphics drivers are up to date as are all Windows updates. Â If I run the same images through Merge to HDR Pro in the 32-bit version of CS6 its perfect.
I am getting unwanted artifacts when I work with medium to large size brushes in Liquify. The artifacts look like lines of a few pixels width that are offset from the surrounding image area -- almost like pulling a couple of threads in a woven patterned fabric. This has happened with both large and small file sizes. It necessitates way too much retouching.
I use liquify extensively on images and didn't have this problem when I used Photoshop 7. It began with CS. I am now using CS2 on a G5 with OS 10.4. Any ideas how to solve this?
I have a friend and she produces some really nice high quality pics. I was wondering if anyone can (maybe) show a way on how she did this. I've been trying to figure it out and getting close, but it also might be her camera as well.
I have two frames. Each contains a transparent background and an completely opaque object. When I choose the tweening option with specified number of frames, I get a semi-transparent transition.
If I first duplicate the first frame, then select all three frames and choose tweening I also get a semi- transparent transition. Â I even copied the layers before converting the whole thing into a Frame Animation - with the same result. Â (I also saw the older Topic here: [URL], but it was no use to me, since I even had this effect when I first duplicated the frame).
I've drawn the letter "S" in fancy script with the pen tool (vectors) but where the vectors overlap, it's transparent. Is there a way to have this section filled in? I'm using Photoshop 7.
I have seen tuts on making cracks. I was wondering if there was an easier way.I want to make a crack that stays in the middle of a letter (even around the bends in the letter), and has branches. The cracks I draw always seem manufactured. I am looking for a cracked earth type of crack. If you have any idea on how to accomplish this could you provide an example picture?
I have two frames with the start and end of my animation. My two layers contain a transparent background and an opaque object. When I choose the tweening option and add my specified number of frames, then test the animation, the start of the animation is 0% opaque and slowly becomes 100% at the end. Â My two layers used for start and finish are opaque. I have all the checkboxes checked by default for the tweening, and I can't figure why I'm getting a fade-in effect for my animation.
In trying to produce out an .mp4 file (H.264, 5000 data rate, 30fps frame-based, 1280x720) at some point in the file creation, usually around 70%, the screen goes black, I have no keyboard or mouse response and the only sign of life is the blue light on the CPU. The only way out is a hard shutdown and reboot. Needless to say nothing gets produced out.
I am trying to produce video files for a website video player that requires either FLV or MP4 videos in a non-HD resolution with a widescreen aspect ratio. I am using VisualStudio Pro X5, and the source video files were shot in 1280x720. The project files are in the VSP format (not HTML5).
I might be missing something, but I do not see any options to render any type of FLV file... is this correct?
Regarding MP4's, I only seen one option for a non-mobile MP4, and that is the MP4 HD which will not work as I need a lower resolution. All of the other MP4 options are various iPhone / i Pad / mobile phone files and do not work with standard web browsers. I am looking to produce a non-mobile MP4 in something like a 480x720 resolution, but that doesn't appear to be possible.
Work has finally given me a machine that can run AutoCAD properly and I now also have the office license of full AutoCAD 2011 (vanilla AutoCAD not architecture etc.)
I am about to start placing a lot of setting our coordinates onto some drawings and was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to produce setting out coordinates utilising all the fancy stuff AutoCAD has.
On LT I used to place points where I wanted the coordinates from, copy a peice of MText around say E:XXXXX N:XXXXXX with a leader from the point to the text. I would then go around listing each individual point and copy and paste from the AutoCAD text window to the MTEXT correcting the decimal point manually.
My director on this job hates tables of coordinates so I can't use them. Also the datum of the drawings is not world UCS, would this be a problem? I have looked at the LISP tutorial but have never used any LISP beyond this.
I am looking for producing Blu-Ray compliant output from VideoStudio. I have VS PRO X4 with SP2. The input is AVCHD from a Canon HF200 and the target is Adobe Encore.
The reason for Encore is that I need a good navigation solution. VS’s menu and navigation is somewhat primitive. But Encore is notoriously zealous about compliance. An had given up on getting Encore to recognize anything from VS as compliant but took another look and now I’m even more confused.
As a baseline, if you take the raw clips from the camera and put them into Encore it accepts that they are Blu-Ray (H.264/AC3) compliant and will not attempt to transcode them. This is what I want since the output will be essentially the same as the input so no loss and the time to output is quite fast. The exception to this is when something like a transition occurs then it must be rendered. What I was not expecting is that VS does not appear to render the whole clip. It renders the bit that has the transition or effect or title etc. up to the next GOP then appears to revert back to not transcoding again. I can’t be 100% sure of that but carefully watching the CPU and disk activity and showing the render progress it is quite obvious that when it gets to raw footage again it starts behaving like a file copy rather than a render. This suggests that SmartRender actually does try and do the right things.
I did try to put a clip at the front of the project then tell VS to render as per first clip. This did not work, the output was compliant but it decided to render everything. I would expect this to be the ideal case for NOT rendering but something went wrong. If you put an item that does need rendering followed by the raw clips it renders than flips into just copy. There seems to be a logic fault here somewhere. Then I found that if disabled SmartRender the output for was compliant but it rendered all the clips.
If I output the project as Blu-Ray (MPEG-2) it come out as fully compliant and Encore won’t touch it. Of course it is twice as big as the original and some degree of rendering must have taken place, although it takes only a fraction of the time for other renders. I am not sure why this is the case either. If I use the other options (like 1440x1080i) it is also compliant (although the scenes are totally distorted as you expect).
I also tried a custom preset setting the video to 1920x1080i with a max bit rate of 20000 H.264 and the AC3 to 384kbps. I know there are quite a few more factors in Blu-Ray compliant video but this is all I can set.
It seems no matter what I do I get compliant Blu-Ray output EXCEPT for the one I really want with SmartRender doing it’s thing.
All I can conclude from this is that VS can produce compliant Blu-Ray and SmartRender short circuits the render but for some reason already fully compliant video gets turned into non-compliant video.
I had a road map drawing in Draw X3, mostly lines and text,  and used to export to pdf for smartfphone compatibility, getting typically an adequate quality 204 kB file using "export for editing" export setting.  After upgrading to Draw X5 the same file gives a 1508 kB pdf file which is too large.   If the export setting is turned back to "web" I get a small 40 kB file but the quality is not so good.   How do I compromise between "web" and "edit" settings for exporting to pdf.
I am trying to produce an iFeature that can be used as a punch/slot within a sheet metal component.
I have had minor success creating basic dimples before (simple revolved features), but this time I require a more detailed feature. I haven't been able to produce this part (see attached) as an i Feature. I believe it is because I have used a loft.
What alternatives are there?  (I feel if I could get a good grasp on the limits of iFeatures that I could really make my modelling more efficient and versatile).
Using the autopublish command, I'm getting PDF files that display just fine on my monitor, but then when I try to print I get this series of error messages:
"The document could not be printed." "There were no pages selected to print." "A drawing error occurred."
But the most frustrating thing is that it only happens for some .dwg files, not all. It seems that the larger they are and the more pages involved, the more likely they are to produce this error.
EDIT: I just went through and tried to print page by page. It turns out of the 22 pages, the only two that won't print and give the errors above have no viewports and are just two large tables filled with text. Is there anything I can do to these tables to make the pages print?
Trying to set up Plant 3D so i can produce iso drawings. We have our pipe routed and tagged. When we select a pipe line that consist of only five or 6 parts (pipe, elbows, etc) it breaks the isos up into that amound of drawings files.
