For HDR Photo Merge highlights are always-100

In each Photo HDR merge I did (about 10) point culminating merged image slider is always set to-100 in the develop module or that highlights are raw. I tried two mergers image and three image merged with the total margin still being +/-2 EV. Also tried to merge made files jpg and Raw (separately) with the same result, highlights = - 100. Someone else has encountered this and is there a way to get a decent result of mid range?

I use Lightroom CC on a Mac OS X Yosemite, current version.

Thank you.

The tool is in need of a MAJOR overhaul HDR (with recognition of faces, Pano seems to work ok).  Virtually every HDR, I tried with enabled AUTO is back in Lightroom with highlights to-100 and + 70 shadows.  The exposure slider has increased the range of 5 to 10, but from what I see this extra range is WORTHLESS and fact that the less sensitive cursor.  There seems to be several highlights and shadows available in the merge of files so more needs of range to be allowed in - highlights / + shadows sliders.

  • HDR Photo Merge returns "Uknown error occurred."

    HI guys,.

    Really hoping for more help with this problem because it is a function I use regularly for work and it completely ruined my workflow.  As says the title when I use the HDR photo merge function it returns the message "Uknown error occurred."

    Screenshot (1).png

    If I uncheck auto align or your Lightroom crashes immediately.  I tried several things to solve problems such as the GPU acceleration disabling and uninstalling/reinstalling Windows and Lightroom (which means a whole new catalog also obviously).  Images I'm trying to merge are shot on a sony a7s (I can't merge all the photos I've tried several others).  I used to be able to use this function without problem, and in fact, it still works on my laptop with these same images.  My system specs are as follows:

    I was able to narrow the problem, the problem is when you want to process the HDR with a stack of photos (all stacked files) it will give you the problem, but if you expand the stack, then select individual files, it is able to treat them without problem.

  • HDR Photo Merge does not!

    HDR Photo merge doesn't work on my laptop or my desktop.  Both are ver 6.2.1.  What's wrong?  Is this a BUG LR6?

    OK, both desktop & laptop had already unchecked and HDR merge would not work.  I just checked the box on both & it works now on both!  Thanks for the solution, even if it is the reverse.  Thank you!  Bob

  • Interchangeability of Lighroom/Photoshop, especially for HDR photos

    I bought and downloaded from Amazon, Lightroom 5, recently upgrade to 5.7. I tried to do HDR photos and give back - after posting a question on this point - I need to have something distinct to merge. I downloaded free Photomatix. When I'm reading tutorials in Adobe/Lightroom they keep referring to Photoshop, as if it was completely interchangeable with Lightroom, especially when it is used to help merge when you do HDR photos. I appreciate this may sound silly, but I have to buy separately just Photoshop if I HDR photo merge? If I have I don't see the point of spending more money on Photoshop just to do this or have Lightroom, I misunderstood? Thank you.

    There are some tasks that do not have Lightroom, HDR and stitching panoramas are a few examples. Photoshop and Lightroom work well together as a team. Another solution would be to add Photoshop Elements to your workflow. It is much cheaper than Photoshop and has most of the features photography you need. You should also consider the plugins Google Nik. There is a plugin HDR that is part of this collection.

    Lightroom is a parametric Editor, which means that adjustments are not implemented directly in the image file. The changes are stored in a database called the catalog. Lightroom does not change the content of a master image that is imported into Lightroom pixel. Therefore, there are some tasks that cannot be accomplished using Lightroom. If another external editor can be useful in certain situations.

  • HDR Photo Merge

    However I see the results from the merger of my photographs in the overview of merge HDR, Lightroom 6 is not able to create an HDR master after that I clicked on the button merge.

    I see the process of a merger with the upper left corner of the screen, but no result.

    It now happens every time. Before this problem started, I succeed every time with the merger.

    Please give me a solution.

    Henk

    Thanks for all your kind response,

    What helped me was:

    "Click above of the film to check that"All photographs"is selected".

    If I saw at last all of the pictures in the library, I have merged.

    I was hoping that this solution is for you also a simple but excellent.

  • Filter for HDR photos

    I used to use Aperture but have really achieved by using pictures. It does the job and is improving all the time. I shoot a lot of HDR and also keep the original. Is there a way to filter the only HDR versions and thus have a quick way of removing the non - HDR of same photo versions?

  • I'm trying to merge photos for HDR and I don't have the option.  I don't have the option to edit in photoshop.

    I'm trying to merge to HDR photos in lightroom cc, but I don't have the option.  I only have the ability to edit images in photoshop

    Photomerge has been added in Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC 2015. Do you actually subscribe to the creative cloud? You pay a monthly fee to have Photoshop and Lightroom? If you are then you need to update because many of you have reported back. You'll photomerge until you upgrade.

  • Previews are always created for the modified pictures.

    All of a sudden, after the last update, iCloud, sharing photos and iCloud photo library Photos on my Mac do not work properly. I've added 264 pictures of Photos on my Mac six hours ago, and these photos appear not in the Photos on my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 Air. In addition, whenever I try to stop the Photos on my Mac, I get a message that says that "insights are always created for modified pictures.» f you are now leaving, some glimpses of the modified pictures will not download to iCloud photo library and changes won't be visible on other devices or in other applications that Photos can create previews." There is a circle at the top of the photo page which is no doubt for previews being created, but nothing happened there for more than six hours. It's an empty circle. HELP please.

    Do you have enough free storage on your Mac to store additional excerpts?

    . I've added 264 pictures of Photos on my Mac 6 hours ago

    What is the format of these photos? They are JPEG files or another format? You also add videos? Sometimes the videos can not be processed and block the download.

    I would try the following:

    • Export the latest library of Photos to a folder on the desktop.
    • Remove the photo library (and empty the recently deleted album).
    • Restart the Mac.
    • Then add photos to Photos, but open them in the preview to check, if they open correctly, before you import them back. And only a little at a time, if you can identify the photo issues.

    Photos can now be treated, or Photos still hang?

    I love the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library

    In the library, under 'Catalogue, all the photographs', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard drive. When I re-import them in Lr, the changes are not there. My workflow is to do nothing after development or export them to the original with a new file name destination. Anyway, it is that they get a new file name without change of development when they are imported into Lr.  Please help (PC user)

    And others have explained, Lightroom does not apply the changes to the file. All changes are stored in the catalog, and then applied to the image when it is displayed in Lightroom. If you want a copy of the image with any changes so that you can share with others or send it to a laboratory to print, then you must export a copy of this image by using the export dialog box in Lightroom.

    Features of Lightroom as well by its design. The images that you import are always left in their original condition, unmodified.

  • Darken the entire photo but to create the highlighted area

    Hi all

    I know this is probably very simple but...

    What is the best way to go for a photo for, say 50% opaque layer and then create a rounded rectangle or circle which is 100% transparent (so the image under/through the circle/layer looks like 100% light?)

    I want to create an image where a small piece is light at 100% but the rest of the image is much darker.

    Concerning

    Frank W

    You can add an adjustment layer that could darken your entire image to as dark as you like. Once you have that layer target of the adjustment layer mask layer and paint with paint black low opacity on the box of the desired highlight image

  • Y at - it a fix for leak of VRAM in Windows Desktop? (Windows media Encoder and photo IE10 Viewer are the root of the problem)

    It seems that Windows media Encoder and photo IE10 Viewer are the root of the problem, and it is about the whole MS Platform in desktop for what anyone associated media.  As easy as it is to use another browser or image viewer I find I like the windows photo viewer ability to preview multiple images and IE10 and 11 are more now then fix everything that exists.

    The issue is having to restart or log out and back in just pass leak VRAM that can go up to 1400 MB and count. What said GPU - Z and ESTR.  The memory of the system seems to be in check most of the time.  Get off my GPU memory Windows.

    I mean leak even with the left running only windows desktop and essential tasks to keep it that way.  I have games that will never saturate 1.5 GB of video memory on my setup. Darn Far Cry 3 does not work.   I'm ranting, namely. At the same time being a little in-depth play play of this recurring problem.

    In case the VP and general manager or anyone else to Microsoft is approaching through it all here is the short version:

    Video memory leak in Windows 8. How can I fix this in the Windows desktop. Is there a way to erase the GPU cache and reduce the use VRAM 160MO? is there a fix? is there a value from regedit?

  • 'Could not complete the command because of a program error' when you try to merge HDR photos.

    I looked around, a bit online, but have not been able to find a solution to this problem on one of the forums. I use Adobe Photoshop CC on a Windows 10 PC. Many positions using other versions of Photoshop or Mac instead of a PC. While I was trying to use the suggestions that they mentioned regardless of version or BONES, none of them seemed to work. I have had no problem blending of HDR photo using the PLC-> merge to HDR Pro tool, but it doesn't work now. I tried to reset the photoshop preferences, disable the "generator" and change the default printer in XPS writer, but none of these suggestions seem to help at all. I'd appreciate any help from someone from Adobe who knows his business or another user who has solved this problem. Thanks in advance!

    Aparently it was a problem with Photoshop, because the last update solved the problem.

  • I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map. The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.

    I had a problem with Lightroom on Microsoft Surface 3.  I added a 128 gB microSD card to provide the space for my photos, (a second hard drive) but lightroom won't let me not import all the pictures that are already on the map.  The only import option is 'copy', not 'Add '.  I worked around this by mounting a network directory containing photos and imported from there.  Is it possible to stop Lightroom to see such a map as a camera?

    I have not tested, but it should work with Lightroom:

    Not sure what happens if you remove the card and put in a similar SD card. I would like to test it so that you know what to expect.
