P: Stack-aware “Open in Photoshop as Layers”

I work professionally with real estate and architectural photography, handling large volumes of bracketed exposures mixed with single images.

My typical workflow is:

  • Bracketed exposures are grouped into stacks in Lightroom

  • Single images remain unstacked

What is currently missing is a way to batch-send these images to Photoshop while preserving stack logic.

Requested behavior:

  • When selecting multiple images in Lightroom and choosing Edit as Layers in Photoshop:

    • Each stack should open as a separate Photoshop document with its stack members as layers

    • Each unstacked image should open as a separate single-layer document

This would allow efficient HDR / exposure blending workflows without manual per-stack selection.
