File cant be opened because it was moved or deleted

I'm using Photoshop for the first time in a while. I have just downloaded PS 25.11.0, but I don't know the previous version I used. I want to focus stack photos to bring multiple objects into focus. I am following a tutorial on YouTube that I have used in the past (4K focus stacking with Panasonic Lumix camera) and has worked well previously. I have rendered a video image and the files are visable and can be opened individually. When I go to File>Automate>photomerge I select Browse and choose my photos from a folder on my desktop, which is an Inspiron 15 5510 with 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz 3.00 GHz. When I hit OK I get the following error message: "file cant be opened because it was moved or deleted". However, the files have not been moved nor deleted and none have been removed from the sequence. I have done this before on my previous laptop and had no problems merging the photos.

Same thing happened to me and it was a project for college. Now I can’t restore it and have to start all over again when I literally remembered naming the project and saving it.

@Energetic_Luminary9737 You’ve reactivated an approx. one year old thread. And you wrote only "I am having the same issue". It may seem like it's the same problem, but it may not be. Also, you're not giving us any information about your system and what you've tried so far.

Rather than reactivating an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information.

Please include system information, a detailed description of the problem and if it's possible a step-by-step instructions for reproduction. Also includes the steps that you've done by your own to solve the issue.

If the issue is really the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location.

Thank you!

I was also having this issue, and I think it was a OneDrive related error. I was storing the photos I was trying to use in my OneDrive, and even when I made them available offline it was still giving me the error. When I moved all my photos onto my desktop, it worked perfectly. My advice would be to try to move your photos out of the cloud and onto your computer's hard drive or something.

Thanks, but have never used Cloud or Drive The stupid thing is I can open
these files in Bridge and then transfer to PS but cannot do so from LR.
Have given up trying to sort it as I do have access to them via this route

This might be a Windows issue. To test, try quitting and relaunching Photoshop. If that doesn't work, reboot your computer and try again. Let us know if this works or not.
