P: Ability to batch process Photo Merge (HDR and panorama)

An option for HDR batch processing is Google Photos. Just upload everything to a folder in Google, and in a few hours, the Assistant will create HDRs for you. They're smaller file sizes and it doesn't always create all of them, but they're high quality. And free.

Please, Adobe, make an HDR batch-processor!

I made a mistake in my comment. It doesn't change it to "Capture Time", it changes it to "Added Order". Just switch it to "File Name" and your problem will be solved.

I have that sorting problem happen to me all the time too. It drives me absolutely nuts because each time it happens, it has just been long enough for me to forget how I fixed it the last time. Lightroom really just sucks if you are trying to work with multiple files.  😞

Hi Jeff, I 100% support the batch merge but I noticed that there's already a solution for your second problem. It sounds like you're importing the images then immediately stacking then merging and a bug I've found with Lightroom is it likes to reset it's sorting to "Capture Time". A simple fix is if you change that back to "File Name" your HDR merged images will be right next to your stack 🙂

LIGHTROOM CC HDR MERGE BATCH!!!!!!! LIGHTROOM CC HDR MERGE BATCH!!!!!!! LIGHTROOM CC HDR MERGE BATCH!!!!!!!

I am a professional Real Estate Photographer.. and this is why I bought the suite! 3rd party software to Lightroom to photoshop is still far less time consuming then CTRL-H, CTR-H Ctrl H... then wait 5 minutes come back and repeat 30 times!!!!!! I know they say somethings are worth the wait.. but come on!!! I spend all day just merging, then even more time adjusting. So here is my recommendation...

1. allow us to group each multi exposure capture into stacks, then select all stacks and batch merge!
----- merge each stack one at a time in order instead of 3 to 5 hdr's processing simulataneously, eating up the resources and possibly crashing.

2. Instead of putting each HDR image at the end of the whole project, put the HDR image to the right of each respective stack. So if I shot 3 different hdrs wihtout moving my tripod i can clearly see each HDR belongs to the stack to it's left. or some other way to clearly tell which hdr  belongs to which stack. Sometimes I want to bring the HDR and one of the darker exposures into layers in photoshop to manually mask out the windows.

PLEASE PLEASE Create this feature. it seems like such an easy add with adobe's skills.

I too would like to get batch HDR processing in LR, use it for real estate photography. Adobe can do this easily.

Eric, I do real estate photography, and have started to do HDR's due to the demand and the higher quality look. I love the natural look that lightroom is able to achieve, but this is taking SO LONG. Even if I could queue up all the HDR's and then walk away that would be so much better. I have a very powerful machine, so that is not an issue. But even if it processed each HDR one at a time in a queue, that would help tremendously. Please keep this in mind moving forward with lightroom.
