Question

Panorama PhotoMerge on PSE25

This used to work fine on images with 16 Bit Colour Depth in PSE22 but sadly not on PSE25! No solution apparently except to downgrade image to 8bit. This is disappointing considering it worked in PSE22 which I used previously. A performance regression is not what you'd expect after paying for an upgrade! Looks like could be my last upgrade, unless something is done about it!

"This is disappointing considering it worked in PSE22 ..." I do believe your memory of it working in pse 2022 is wrong. It does not work with 16 bit images in PSE 2022- at least in my version of PSE 2022- A version I do not have any add ons or plug-ins installed.

I have multiple versions of PSE installed, all the way back from pse 2010.    I tried with both pse 2022, and pse 2020- both of which produced the exact same error message ( PSE  calls it a "script alert").  I then tried with pse 2025- all updates, all my video drivers, all my OS drivers are up to date.  PSE 2025 produced the same "script error", meaning, it cannot merge 16 bit images.

A 8 bit photomerge in pse 2025.   In PSE 2025 Expert mode is snow called "Advanced" mode.

Thanks for your post Glenn, looking at PSE22 again it definitely merges without complaint but perhaps '22 converts the file to 8bit without advising, that might make sense!
