P: Merge to HDR has banding in it

I have such problematic example.
The original files are here: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/wy44fj35qfa5v/MergeToHDR
Here is the result of merge that shows posterization (esp. in the trees)

.

The engineers will need example files (original datasets) for problematic merges in order to troubleshoot.

it's not as bad as before the update (as some series work again), but still a long way to go until acceptable 

image series...that used to work, still don't work - not ugly but unusable. 

The engineers will need example files (original datasets) in order to troubleshoot.

this thread is about the same problme.. this people has the same Problems, thats about the results i get. if i choose to reduce ghosting effects i get big Grey fields. really unusable for anything:

hope thats helping to finally solve

hi Jeffrey

i appreciate your effort but i wonder, why you Need examples? nearly every single merge is unusable and a Desaster. all of the people i know do have the same Problem. all image-sets, that used to work, do no more.
sometimes it helps to activate/deactivate registering - sometimes it becomes worse and registering will result in a large Grey area.

one friend went through support - it took 5 Hours for them to acknowledge the error, and then he was told, to just work without hdr. great.

i post a result - it is one of the better ones - but still not usable.
as i wrote, i bought Aurora and have to use this. Photoshop HDR has become completely unusably - for many people, for a long time. What is wrong there?

We have a meeting in the office next week (as I am only a hobby photographer, i asked the proffs at work for help - the could not help and are as frustrated as I), and the adobe subcsriptions will be on the table (apparently because of a lot of other stuff too lately)
it is really a bad situation, in which you put photographers and your customers and i wish all of this is sometime behind. wish you luck, Jeffry us

For those that are having trouble, can you post a set of images (dropbox/CC files) that you're having trouble merging, as well as resultant merge?

Hi

according to this list, the bug should be fixed:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html

unfortunately it is absolutely not fixed. it is as terrible and unusable as before. Confirmed by all collegues !!!!

even worse, hdr out of Lightroom (not merge pro, the other option) is no more usable as well (a bright vignette in all lower corners on every merge - also conformed by all collegues).

although i am only a hobby photographer with Little time pressure, i was forced to buy Aurora hdr now, to get usable hdr images. mind you, it cost me about half a year of the adobe subscription, which i still pay !!

please get this finally fixed @J453
