Question

photomerge CS 6 is not working, any hints?

I am trying to create a simple three image panorama.  I shot the images (an interior) using a shift lens, this has always worked very easily in CS5.

in Bridge I go to the Photoshop photomerge feature, select the three files - it opens up one of the files creates the photomerge layer but ignors the other two files.  I have tried many different configuations, making sure all three files are highlighted in blue,  auto and perspective always the same outcome one image plus an empty photomerge layer.

I've read through the archives that seem to address hdr - I've repaired my permisions using disk utilty do I need to throw away my photoshop permissions and if so how do I do that again? (mac 2008 tower 10.6.8)

Thanks for any help and or insights.

Jeff

Do you have a LOT of free space on the drive you have designated to Photoshop as "scratch"?

The scratch disk is set to an empty drive in the number one spot, with the boot drive set as number two, twenty four Gb of Ram in CS5 I have worked on much much larger pans.

I will test the manually align although I need to get the photomerge feature to work as it is a time saver or it's over to AutoPanPro

thanks for the insights

Photomerge in Ps CS6 can work fine; I've done quite a number of panos with it myself.  Keep at it, I'm sure you'll find something to tweak that makes it work.

Another thing to try, just for testing, is to go into Photoshop proper, select File - Automate - Photomerge, and choose the three files from that dialog there.  If it works there but not from Bridge, the problem is more of a Bridge communication issue.

Does this also happen if you load the three images into one file and trigger Edit > Auto Align Layers manually?

Trashing prefs can be done by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc.
