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.

Have the same ability to stitch photos like on the desktop version

All of this works fine with an app like Affinity Photo so why wouldn't/couldn't it work with Lightroom? It's clearly not a question of performance.

Adding my vote as well, would greatly appreciate if support for HDR stacking of preexisting images could be added to LR mobile for Android.

This could make sense as they are maybe not the same algorithm: the one that needs to be implemented must be the one from camera raw. That’s maybe the biggest reason why it’s not implemented yet, the need to translate CR algorithms on mobile devices.

The HDR feature available at the time has to work only with the integrated camera, not with huge DSLR files. (And already takes some time, despite the flow” resolution images it has to process)

We already know there is enough processing power.  HDR merging is already built into LR mobile, it only works with photos taken with the LR mobile camera though.  If the algorithms already exist, why not use them for imported photos as well?

Totally agree! The latest iPad Pro is blazing fast and actually faster than most computers out there.

I really don’t think so! Modern tablets and phones are blazingly fast compared to computers. HDR and merging softwares were available at a time computers were way slower than actual mobile devices 😉

I wonder if there are performance limitations to be considered. I, too, would love to have this, even if it were a bit slow.

Is this possible now? I noticed this request is marked as “implemented.”
