An error occurs when using "Load Files into Stack..." in Photoshop.
The issue persists even after resetting Photoshop preferences and reinstalling the application.

Are there any solutions?

Open the StackSupport.jsx file with any text editor 

Ctrl+F to base64Decode function and you will see the comments written by whoever worked on this section.

 

Edit or remove the 3 “—” characters and save. Issue solved.

for example:

I’m having the same issue. Since updated LrC & Ps to the latest version, when I tried open multiple images to Ps, it popped up a message Error 44: cannot convert. Same message when I opened Ps and used Scrips to load files into stack.

I've tried changing the language in Photoshop and reinstalling it, but the error persists.

I'm trying to use the PhotoMerge feature, but I keep getting an error message.

 

I tried reset with this script https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/get-started/settings-and-preferences/reset-preferences.html

but it wasn’t help.

 

Im using windows 11, and Photoshop 2026

Hi team,

After updating to Photoshop v27.10 on Windows, running the **"Load Files into Stack..."** script immediately triggers an error and fails to launch the dialog.

* **Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Open Photoshop v27.10 (or Photoshop Beta v27.11) on Windows.
2. Go to **File** > **Scripts** > **Load Files into Stack...**
ファイル > スクリプト > ファイルをレイヤーとして読み込み


* **Expected Result:**
The "Load Layers" dialog opens.
* **Actual Result:**
An error popup appears immediately:
> **Error 44: Cannot convert.**
> **Line: 41**
> `-> $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "StackSupport.jsx");`

 


* **Observations & Environment:**
* **OS:** Windows 11 64-bit
* **Photoshop Versions affected:** Photoshop v27.10.0 and Photoshop Beta v27.11.
* **Mac Behavior:** Working normally on macOS (v27.10), issue appears isolated to Windows.
* **Workaround:** Rolling back to Photoshop v27.9.1 resolves the issue completely.
* **Notes:** Reinstalling clean v27.10 does not fix the issue. Replacing `StackSupport.jsx` from v27.9.1 also does not resolve it, suggesting an issue with path evaluation/handling (`g_StackScriptFolderPath`) in the Windows ExtendScript environment.

Multiple users in the Japanese community have verified and reproduced this identical issue on Windows.

 

 

Could the engineering team please look into this?

Thank you!
