Question

Panorama Merge - Unable to Merge Photos - Unknown Errors Occurred

Hello,

I know this has been posted mutliple times, but I'm a complete beginner on this software and photo taking in general.

 

I am trying to merge 6 photos in Lightroom but it is giving me the error in the title. No ideas why, and looking at other posts don't really help to make sense of what's going wrong. I've tried changing projection as well as boundary warp/fill edges. My preference is spherical with edges filled as I'd like to create a print out of the merged photos. It does create the preview of the merge every time I change setting with no issues. It's when I "submit" the merge that it fails.

 

I apologize in advance, the photos shared are in JPEG. I didn't realize you had to enable "RAW" capture as well.

 

Dropbox link below and photos uploaded. Please ask any questions. I'm honestly debating on the usability of LR as the answers I've looked at before look entirely too ridiculous/tedious for this type of software. I don't see how it should be this resource intensive or be this selective on why it does/doesn't work. Not sure I want to pay for a monthly sub for something that has to have the stars aligned (pun intended) for a simple photo merge to work properly.

 

Thanks in advance.

    You will not be able to merge photos like these with any automatic software.  There is not enough image content for the merge algorithm to be able to find the common elements in the adjacent frames.  If you want to use LR to merge photos like these into panoramas, you should save your money.  Not going to happen.

    Do you mind giving a bit of info on why? The preview does it perfectly so I don't quite understand what the issue could be. It seems like some sort of arbitrary problem. I don't see that it's not able to locate common elements. See attached for a snip of the preview.

    "? The preview does it perfectly so I don't quite understand what the issue could be."

    On my limited resource computer, I frequently get this message even though the preview was successful. In most cases if you select your images, the select Edit In "Photoshop Panorama" you will have more success for some reason.
