Nope. The same images and settings process perfectly on my laptop. One complicating issue is that I use the Merge to HDR feature quite infrequently, so I can't guess what changes I might have made (if any) that would cause this behavior. I think it's been a long time since I last used it. The traditional scapegoat of Windows updates can't be blamed as both my laptop and desktop are equally updated. I can't find anyone else with the same problem on either the official Adobe forum or the NAPP web site, though I have read up on dozens of other Merge to HDR problems in hope of learning what approaches might be worth tying. (I have learned that my video card swap was pointless as an official Adobe revealed that the graphics processor isn't used in HDR processing.) -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
