P: Auto Blend Layers not focus blending - Photoshop 2014.1

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I have 4 registered images of fungi, all images are at the same exposure settings but focused at different levels within the frame. I need to 'blend' together to make one image with a combined DoF.
Ok, so I've imporetd into PSCC as 4 stacked Layers, non of which are Background Layers. I've selected all 4, auto alligned and then used Auto Blend Layers [ABL]. The outcome is that the top 3 layers have totaly black masks applied and the bottom all white. All I basically get as an output is one of the 4 images, no selectivity whatsoever, presumably because of the 3 totally black masks. It also executes the process very quickly.
I assume ABL should be selecting the better focused areas on each image [white on the black masks] and combining all to give me one image with collective DoF. This isn't happening

You don't have the most current update. You have to go to iCloud and install it. You will not get a courtesy notice. Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.0 20140926.r.236 2014/09/26:23:59:59 x64

I updated to CC 2014.2.0 the other day and all works OK now. Try it!

This issue is fixed in the 2014.2 update. See the update announcement here:

[madgardenr]

Thank you. I was puzzled that I didn't get an update notice. But it is working now.

[WilliamOBrien]

lots of comments directed to Adobe on this subject.
Looks like the integrity of giving people what they paid for or fixing it when it breaks are going down the slippery slope.

Function was broke in initial release but there were work arounds, next release killed it totally.

How does one get an answer to questions like this, or has Adobe just gotten to big ????

[Luffy_D_Monkey]

Everybody, keep calm.
The issue is adressed. Auto-blend works...

Now, let's move on to Dreamweaver...
Milestone. Adobe supporting Bracket, must now support DW.
Muse is entertaining. EA is less integrated than it should be.
Extracting CSS absoluting positionning in PS or AI isn't quite a improvement.
We need DW improvements. Not design improvements. Ergonomy improvements.

I found hard to keep potential customers/students interested in pursuing any training about DW just by saying "Oh, and it well integrates with photoshop..."
That's not appealing.. at all...

Well, I'm off-topic..

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Yes, and this site does not support DreamWeaver.

[WilliamOBrien]

It does not work the way it used to, load layers out of bridge, and there is no easy way to get instructions. I works if you open in PS then stack. Why are things fixed but never mentioned or explained to customers. The lists of things "new" is great, how about a list of "things fixed" and how to use them now.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

That doesn't make sense. That stuff hasn't changed.
And the instructions are in the online help for each product.

[Luffy_D_Monkey]

just saying...

[WilliamOBrien]

have you actually down loaded from the site (Mac Computer) and tried to use this function.
CS6 - it worked from Bridge very nicely
CC (2014.0) Picks from Bridge are gone, work arounds available.
CC(2014.1) Picks from Bridge are gone, focus stacking in PS does not work.
CC(2014.2) Picks from Bridge are still Missing, stacking in PS now works, just not well.

let me know how you do after trying on real computer.
william.obrien@tmeic.com

[WilliamOBrien]

Just checked again, after downloading 2014.2 yesterday. Th instructions tell you how to do it , the application does not allow you to do it, the Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers selection is missing in Bridge. Does this make sense ???

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

You probably uninstalled an earlier version of Photoshop after installing CC 2014 and removed the scripts from Bridge (they didn't ref-count the files correctly).
Reinstalling Photoshop should replace the Bridge scripts.

[WilliamOBrien]

Chris,
you are correct on the initial CC install and CS6 uninstall. BUT---- I have reinstalled PS-CC three times since then, it is still not set up for a correct install and there does not seem to be a way to get there.

[WilliamOBrien]

Chris, Just tried the following---
a- uninstalled Bridge CC
b- copied Bridge CS6 and files to Applications folder
c- reinstalled Bridge CC
Result, still does not show correct picks for tools for Bridge CC
NEXT - UnInst PS CC

Bill

[WilliamOBrien]

Chris,
Tried above, did not help.
Have a computer with CS6, Added PS-CC and Bridge-CC.
PS-CC and Bridge-CC do not have any of the above problems. Menues are back to where they should be.

Problem now is what are the files I need to add from CS6 to get PS-CC working correctly, they are not in the latest revision.

(Adobe's revision control needs some serious retraining or rework)

Could not get CS6 to download on my main machine, can not get my sign-on/password to work correctly.

[WilliamOBrien]

Chris,
UnInstalled PS-CC, Bridge-CC, Any other remnants of any PS program,
Installed CS6
Installed PS-CC and Bridge-CC

still do not have correct menus, but I can get my work done, just not straight forward and easy.

thanks for your help

Bill

edit >autoblend>stacking not working in New Cc but does work previous version. it is very inconvenient and time consuming to be using 2 versions of PS in my workflow . This is a feature that I use extensively to combine layers with different focus areas.

[OneShotII]

No it is not fixed!!! I updated to the recent release and IT IS NOT WORKING. I am still having to use CC

[J453]

Can you confirm you have CC 2014.2.1 installed? http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Directions for sharing your system info from Photoshop:

I would try disabling your 3rd party plug-ins in case that is the source of your problem.

Try downloading 2014.2.1 That should solve your problem.

The 3rd party plugs in are also in my PS CC and PS CC works. So why would they interfere in CC 2014 and not PS CC?

I am using 2014.2.1
