Focus stacking problem with Photoshop CC 2014

I have used many versions of Photoshop in the past for a while to focus stacking. It is usually pretty easy. I pull my carpet, import into Lightroom, usually to fix an image in LR, copy settings to other images, select them all, and use "Edit in" «open as layers in Photoshop.»

I then select all layers and "auto-align" them. I then select all layers and "auto blend" them. Usually, I then have a group of layers with variable layer masks I either try to edit or just flatten. My computer is a new Mac Pro with a lot of SSD and RAM space.

I did yesterday with 24 images of a dahlia. They have been taken with a D800E lens PCE of 85mm, on a solid tripod Gitzo 3 in series with a head of Arca B1 and rail of RRS. I used Photoshop CC 2014.

I'm done with all the masks of empty black layer with the exception of the lower part, which was white. The image was clearly NOT stacked focus when I flattened. It was a huge out-of-focus areas.

I took the same images and did the same thing on my Macbook Pro laptop and got the same result using Photoshop CC 2014

I downloaded a demo of Helicon Focus and tried to use it on the Mac Pro and the result was beautiful. I am pleased to invest in software that works, but I do pay $9.99 US/month for creative cloud and feel that he must do what he says he'll do and what he has done before.

I then did the same with Photoshop CS6 on the new Mac Pro and VOILA it worked as before.

Anyone who has tried this and had similar problems with CC 2014? This looks like a bug, a serious bug for me, with CC 2014.

Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Anyone else have problems with Photoshop CC 2014 WIA?

    I tried to do a quick scan this morning and Photoshop wouldn't let me. Actually, just try to PS of accident causes. Every time. The report traces the problem to WIASupport.8li.

    I know that it is not the scanner because I managed to get my doc to scan perfectly via MS Paint, of all things. Of course, being x 64, PS 2014 don't introduce myself a TWAIN alternative, which makes this WIA that support a lot more important. I could be wrong, but I also don't remember having this problem with the latest v14 PS.

    My information system is the following:

    • APP: Photoshop CC v2014 (15.0.0.58)
    • MODULE FAILURE: WIASupport.8li (15.0.0.1)
    • OS: 8.1 Pro x 64 Windows (Update 1)
    • MATERIAL: Core i7 3930K, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GT630 (OEM) @1080 p, Canon Pixma MX432 Scanner

    As I said, I know that it is not the scanner. The scanner works fine in other applications. Simply not PS 2014. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I am also on Win x 64 Pro 8.1, and my scanner is a HP Envy all-in-one.

    HM, mine worked, but since you mentioned it I fooled with dialog boxes and I managed to cause Photoshop CC (2014) down: I tried to hit the button [Browse] to change the Destination folder.  Normally I don't change that and simply open the files into Photoshop directly, that always works.

    That's what I've seen connected:

  • Digital art, files of large multi layers and increasing problems with Photoshop - advice please!

    Hi all

    I am a digital artist, who does about 90% of his work in Photoshop. However the gel, crash at launch and at the exit of RAM reviews (even on opening 1 small file) have become more frequent until this week I can't work at all.

    Records of work because they are implemented today:

    (1) 1928.11 GB (external)

    (2) GB 2560.76 (external)

    (3) F 286.17

    (4) 40.49 GB (boot)

    Although a lot of arrangement of these discs have all failed.

    It is not uncommon for me to work on the art that has 40 + layers in a document of 300 dpi (the 750MO PSD file size) 18 x 18 inches. (Even this does not end where JPG size for some of the clothing I hope to do my job). Again, for a year or two I did not seem to have any real problem with the files of this size. Originally, I was with WIN 8.1/Photoshop CS6. But the crash. Gel and off RAM review has progressed to the point that I had to stop and restart everything several times per hour often lose work - always lose time and focus.

    I have a specific computer for design only, so I have other things running while I'm working. My stuff of protection antivirus is up-to-date.

    3 weeks ago, I upgraded to Windows 10 and went ahead (despite having the full Creative Suite CS6 on expensive Disk) and a subscription that I can not afford for Photoshop CC. I want to get some relief from frequent problems. I don't have. The problems have got only worse/more frequent. I can only do one or two little thing in any given job. So, I have to stop or lose my job. This morning, I can not open a 47 MB file and a picture of 24 MB to bring it.

    As a bonus, since the "revaluation" of CC Adobe married now often hold for 10 to 30 seconds when scrolling. This has never been a problem in the past.

    I purge. I rearrange "scratch disks". I keep a historic minimum (4) States... All the things recommended in all of these items online on this seemingly common problem with Photoshop. I want it to work. I am not a technophile and feel like I have to return to college for a degree computer SCIENCE or art my work/income - in total. I am also very aware, it can just some obvious problem my artsy, non-tech brain does not see, so hopefully someone here can help you.

    Example: showing why so many layers are needed. Often much needed individual 'twisted' once again towards the end of the design work, so cant more be combined while I add them in.

    In clear simple any help would be greatly appreciated - single to the top of the preferences for the way I work in...

    Windows 10 - 32 bits, and that is the problem.

    A 32-bit operating system can use 3.76 GB of ram no matter how much you have, simple math - 2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296 bytes 4294967296 / (1 024 x 1 024) = 4 096 MB = 4 GB

    Solution to your problem - reinstall 10 64-bit Windows.

  • I have a problem with photoshop cc in windows 10

    Hello

    I have problems with photoshop cc in windows 10. I am not sure if the problems are related to what windows 19, but certainly, the problems got worse since. (My computer runs on windows 10. At an i7 processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 965 M, the DDR3L 16 gig memory, the GDDR5 2 GB graphics card, a card of 256 GB ssd and 1 TB of hard drive). I don't think it's a problem with my computer.

    I am currently working on a project where I need to cut some parts of the photo, that I will use it later. But I'm having the problem now, some photos displayed as it should. And some are not. They seem to be grey. Or there is some kind of white/gray block above them. It is as if is not available to the loading screen (?). If the object is there, but just does not appear right. I just put a few screenshots here that show the problem. I hope someone can help me with this. Because I can't finish my project with a photoshop which does not work at height.

    Uncheck use graphics processor

    Click OK

    Close Photoshop and re - open and then use the way you did that.

    Also, please share the exact version of your Photoshop.

  • Several problems with photoshop after upgrading to win10

    I've updated to win 10 a week ago and today I experienced several problems with photoshop. The first question is about the quick selection tool. I select and try to choose an area on the picture I want to work on. It performs either one of two things. F1. It won't select anything finally photoshop will crash. 2 when he decided to select something it goes super slow and will switch to the symbol of thought every few seconds.

    second question...

    Because I can't get select quick took the job I'll move the pen tool. I started to select anchor points and ill get maybe 20 points the image then becomes completely black. If I scroll top down I can clearly see the parts of the image, but when I stop scrolling returned to a black square. Later photoshop then crash.  TSF is to face all of a sudden?

    Make sure that your GPU drivers are perfectly up-to-date (directly from the manufacturer) and they are 10 Windows compatible. You can also try a reset preference:

    Win: Press and hold the keys Ctrl + Alt + Shift immediately after the launch of Photoshop starting. A box will appear asking if you want to continue with the reset, select 'yes '. If you don't see this, you're not fast enough... Try again.

    Hello.  I use Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with os x LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say 'OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014', or if I drag the file directly to the CC, 2014 in the Dock, it will open in CC.  Since I want to double click or hit back in the deck, I constantly have to wait that the file opens in CS6, CS6 abandonment then opens another way to get into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding, but double-clicking Bridge has nothing.  Any ideas why this happens?

  • Problem with Photoshop crashes or freeze for users on a server terminal server

    Dear Forum!

    I'm having trouble with Photoshop gel over a period of 20 minutes when you (1) user gum with special brushes and (2) copy and paste the material to a PDF file in Photoshop. As you can see by the size of this post, I'm getting quite depserate here and need help.

    Some background information...

    Photoshop CS6 is installed on a server terminal server with approximately 25 active users where 3 of them are using Photoshop.

    The operating system on the server is Windows Server R2 2012.

    There are no extra modules just a simple installation of Photoshop in this case.

    The server uses 40-60% of the memory most of the time (for the most part, a little less, sometimes a little more, but never 100%) and 40% of the CPU.

    There is enough free space on the disk.

    The problem in detail...

    There are two occasions where the gel was held most of the time. After that it crashes for the first time, it will happen whenever you do any operations over a period of about 20 minutes and it is reciprocal for all users. When it freezes, freezes any terminal session but the program, I always answer (it is not in of "not responding") when you look at another user via the Task Manager. Ending the process as an administrator works sometimes, although the moment where I end it process it takes about 10 to 60 seconds before the program closes actually and the user gets back control. The best thing to do most of the time, if an administrator requires them to close the session.


    1. the first opportunity is when you use the eraser with a brush that is not a standard but added manually. The names of the brush packages used are:
    Extacy__Elemental

    KKC_Fractal

    Kornkid's_Grunge_Set

    and the problem is with all the brushes inside those packages. How I evoke the problem is the following:

    1. start Photoshop

    2. create new

    3. fill the background with any color

    4. Select the Eraser tool

    5. change the brush to one of those mentioned above

    6. program freezes

    2. the second scenario when the problem occurs is when users copy something from a PDF in Photoshop. The way I talk about it is:

    1. open a PDF file

    2. Select the box and copy it

    3. open Photoshop

    4 create new

    5 paste in Photoshop

    6. program freezes

    So far, we've tried solutions...

    I worked on it for several tour now and I'm not entirely sure on what exactly I did. I'll try and do the following once more, but I'm sure I've tried most of them.


    Update graphics card drivers.

    Reset all tools:

    1. Select a tool options

    2. choose «Reset all tools»

    Reset default settings:

    1. hold ctrl + shift + alt for Photoshop to start

    2. Select "Yes".

    Tested if it matter if I have a pen or not connected, which it doesn't.

    Removed Special brushes (but it's still freezing when copy/paste of the PDF)

    Deleted 'save in the background' and 'automatically save recovery information' options

    Update to the latest version.

    Off to OpenGL

    Solutions I have not, but I'll try...

    Reinstall Photoshop

    Change the font preview size

    1. go to "type".

    2. Select "prview font size."

    3. Select 'none '.

    Delete the cache of system fonts

    1. Close all Adobe applications, including the application of office (if installed) creative cloud.
    2. Go to \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\Appdata\Local
    3. Remove the * FNTCACHE. * DAT or * FontCache*.dat files.
      NOTE: the asterisk (*) indicates the different numbers, letters or words, such as FontCache-S-1-5 - 21.dat or COFFfntCache.dat.

    Delete the cache of Photoshop police

    1. Release of Photoshop and the creative cloud (if installed) desktop application.
    2. Navigate to the appropriate folder
    • Photoshop CS6 and earlier versions.
      Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application Adobe application
      [Windows 7: \Users\[user name] \AppData\Local\Adobe
    • Photoshop CC and CC 2014
      [Windows 7 and 8: \Users\[user name] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC or CC 2014

    3. delete the TypeSupport (Photoshop CS6 and earlier) or the folder of police CT (Photoshop CC and CC 2014) Cache and the empty the trash.
