After I created some panoramas on Mac something gone wrong. I try to creat new one but the progress stops at 33,33%. I tried to work on external disk and scratch disk too. The issue is the same. I dont need to purge the cache in I didn`t find temporary files created by Ps. Is there a problem with the memory?

The progress already crached at the stiching files. Look at the file I have attached. On the anchor file image you can see another image and I couldn`t handle it. ACR is the best, but thanks for advice.


So, in other words, it fails at Auto Align. That's not crashing, but for some reason it can't align the frames.

 

Is there parallax shift or lens distortion? Sufficient solid overlap? If it fails on this set but not others, that's the natural place to start troubleshooting.

 

I'm not assuming anything here, but I can't see your originals.

Please provide a few details so we can help you. 

1.) How many files are in the panorama that you are putting together in PS? 

2.) What size is each file?

3.) How much scratch disk space do you have available?

Aprox. 20 files are for a panorama and those had around 20Mb size, but after I had resized the segments to 2Mb the problem is the same. 855Gb scratch disk space is available.

You might just try and wait a lot longer.  Sometimes PS does take quite a bit of time to build pano's.  Especially if there is not much to use in comparing frames.   I find that ACR does a better job for the most part and much quicker.  You might want to give that a try.  

 

Open all your raw files in ACR at the same time.  Highlight all of the images, and right click to merge to panorama.  You will have the option to tweak the result a bit to remove distortions, then save as a DNG file.  

This process even works well with HDR.
