P: Enable photo merge (Pano & HDR) with imported images

Now that LRM has the ability to do HDR photos with the built in camera, it would be nice to also be able to produce HDR images with imported photos.  It should be fairly easy to implement since the coding is already done for the camera.

Exactly...

This is only one the reason why i still use the LR Classic version.

I'm a serious photographer (for more than 50 years),  but I haven't owned a computer for several years now.  I'm fairly sure there are a lot of us. As I now shoot with a Fuji X100v; when I need a wide ultra wide angle shot I stitch photos. It's a real pain since LR mobile on my Android tablet or phone doesn't do stitching. I must carefully process the raws all the same, then export to Samsung Gallery as JPGs,  then import into the Biostitch app, then after stitching export back into LR Mobile.  How about some help Adobe!

Is there a "merge" feature in Lightroom Mobile? I used to use a PC desktop and be able to "merge" multiple photos to make it a panoramic picture. Now I am using the app on my iPad Pro. I can't find that feature.

That feature isn't (yet) available on the mobile version.

Thank you for responding. Hope they are working on it because it's a great feature for landscape photography.

This has my vote (literally). I have been working exclusively on an iPhone and iPad and the lack of HDR and Pano Merge is a glaring workflow hole for me. Right now, to do an HDR and/or Pano merge, I need to export the images, load them into Affinity Photo, Merge, Save, and then re-import into Lightroom. I understand the memory constraints... especially for a phone... can be difficult to work with and would potentially provide a bad user experience. But what about doing it in the cloud, since our photos are there anyway? Just a thought.

Hello,

 

I would very appreciate the possibility to merge photos to hdr in lightroom for the ipad. I also would like to get some more import options like it is in lightroom cc (desktop). You can rename your photos, add meta data and add some keywords. Afterwards it would be very nice to sync all these information with lightroom cc (desktop). 

 

That would be so helpful to keep my workflow while travelling with the ipad. Thank you so much.

Not going to happen. Most of these have already been marked will not implement.

e.g. filename change. Filenames have no value in the cloud focused model, therefore Adobe will not spend the time to work on this feature.

Adobe has also said, they are not planning to enhance the existing sync features between the cloud and Classic.

 

The other items, such as ability to set meta-data on import would be a nice enhancement and should be separate requests.

Hi, I have Lightroom on my Macbook and my iPad and more recently using the iPad more to edit photos. Unfortunately I have an issue with my Macbook that shuts down. The only thing I use on my Macbook in Lightroom is the ability to merge shots for HDR/panoramic edits. 
Does anyone know when /if this feature will be available on the iPad version? 
Thanks in advance!

Please include photo merging on the Ipad version.  This is a tremendous need.
