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.

HDR Merge isn't available on iOS yet, but you can add your vote to the feature request on the following forum, which is monitored by the engineering team: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/feature-request-hdr-with-imported-images-for-lrm

@selondob Thank you for your informative reply. I've already made a vote to the following link you have suggested. One more question please, do you suggest any app of iOS to get the job done for now? 

Thank you

I want to show my support for this feature request.
This is the #1 feature holding me back from moving to a completely mobile workflow.

The year is 2020. The apps should have HDR features by now, and I mean being able to import, combine and edit RAW photos. I know the photoshop app just launched, but please make this happen.  I shoot RAW exposure bracketing all the time on my mirrorless camera and having the ability to edit on the apps while I’m out and on the go would be a HUGE help.

I am in the same place. I am not asking for dates on a detailed roadmap. All I want is the knowledge what features are being considered and not considered for future releases.

I am almost exclusively using my iPad Pro and features like stacks and HDR/Panorama merging are holding me back from using it as my only device. If Adobe is not planning on developing this software as a full-blown version of Lightroom or not intending to bring any of these features to iPad, I would like to know so I can move back to a Macbook. I am using iPad Pro because of its performance in a very light-weight form factor but the tools on that iPad are of course more important. If those do not develop, I need to look at other options.

I am overall very satisfied with Lightroom CC.  My main desire is a seamless syncing between desktop and mobile and Lightroom CC delivers that in spades.  In the old days with Lightroom desktop and mobile, syncing could be slow or unreliable.  Now it is perfect.  I do 95% of my editing and culling on the iPhone or iPad and it's nice to know it all syncs perfectly on the desktop.  People complain about a feature here and there, but it is hard to overestimate the value of this seamless workflow.

That being said, I do have a few wishes.  The first is the ability to print from the desktop program.  It is hard to believe that a modern photo management app does not have this capability.  The second is a minor gripe.  I would like to have the ability to perform an HDR merge on imported photos in the mobile app.  However, since the capability is there in the desktop app, this is more of an annoyance than a major problem.

I agree with some of the previous posts. I am personally a fan of Lightroom CC. I love the new UI and it’s ease of use, nor do I doubt the hard work that Adobe engineers are putting in. However, from the consumer point of view, key features that have been missing and requested... some for years... are still missing. All the while we keep seeing updates about the tutorials. On top of that, I think there was an impression that by moving to a new code base, development of new features and functionality would be both faster and more iterative. Now, I don’t want to discount any work happening under the hood, as that is important. I’m just trying to express what a consumer sees and why it is that many are frustrated.

A roadmap of some kind would definitely be a welcome addition. It doesn’t even need to have well defined dates. It would also be helpful to understand what of our requests are not being considered. As I look towards upgrading my gear and develop a workflow for my photography, it would be useful to understand the direction Lightroom CC is going. Will this just be a combination of a hobbyist tool and add-on for Lightroom CC Classic, or is the goal for it become a tool that even pros will be able to use on their iPads as their primary workflow? Is this tool just viewed as an entry point for those beginning their photography journey, or will features such as Virtual Copies, HDR/Pano Merge, offline backup for iPad, printing and others be added to make this the future of photography for everyone, beginners and pros alike? Understanding the features that are being planned and worked on can also help us to make the right decisions for ourselves and our flows, make us feel as though our voices are being heard, and keep us enthusiastically invested in the platform as a whole for years to come.

I was saying that reading the description in the AppStore. I’m pleased to see split view on iPad, though! But still: I don’t get why the learn section gets so much attention where so many bugs remain and so many interesting feature request remain unheard for years. It’s sad to see where Adobes priorities lies: catchy tutorials for « non LR users » but not much for loyal customers.

Regarding a timeline: it’s true, excepted when they’re forced to after releasing Ps mobile 😉

@4614755, It was a response to Antoine Hlmn's statement regarding a lack of information and not a response to your post at all.

Adobe does not generally share timelines for possible future features.

Understand: why focus on the "learn" section no one really asked for or cares about when there are so many bugs to fix and pertinent user's requests ?
