Why sometimes when I am doing a focus stack merge in PhotoShop I get the following message?

Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible

What does this mean and how do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi @tonymuffin that warning generally means when the process was running it could not find enough pixel data to make a selection. In terms for Focus Stacking, it means there wasnt enough unique data to select and make a mask. It could be due to a duplicate layer or two layers with very similar pixel data/depth.

Thanks for your quick response Kevin

However, I am still not clear exactly what is causing this. I do know how to do focus stacking in Photoshop and each of the images I use are unique shots. So I am confused.

@tonymuffin check your results when its complete - do any of the layers have nothing masked?
