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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Why the layer effects do not work for the photos in Photoshop CC?

    Layer effects do not appear in Photoshop CC for the photos. They work very well for text, but not for any image. The layers in the image are unlocked, I've updated to Photoshop and I erased the preferences but still nothing. Any suggestions?

    Promote the selection into a new layer (Ctrl or Cmd + J to copy; CTRL or Cmd + Shift + J to cut), then try to apply the layer style.

    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.

  • Photos, can I use Photoshop Elements for editing?

    In iPhoto, you could choose 3 third-party programs such as Photoshop Elements for editing.  The first Photos do not allow that.  Can you now choose Photoshop Elements for image editing in Photos?

    No, you can use more applications as external editors are.  Which now works are extensions of photo editing app.  If an application provides an extension of photo editing, you can call it the control panel of the Photo, for instance affinity Photos provides extensions of app, but not (yet) PhotoShop Elements.

  • '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.

  • 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.
