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.

Yeah, why would the industry standard editing software for professionals cater their product to professionals? /s


Give me a break. If that's how the Adobe execs think, then one of their competitors needs to take over.

it's just not enough. Lightroom [mobile] has become a mainstream product and we are requesting a niche feature. HDR is now something that in theory can be applied onto every image by just klicking a button. It's not the same as HDR merge, but for the mainstream users it is. Panoramas are something people take with their iPhones in panorama-mode, not stitch stuff together. 

I'm not saying these things because I think that way, but from some Adobe corpos view this might just be the way it is. Why invest in development of features that won't be of interest by the mainstream audiences? 

It really sucks and has nothing to do with the iPad's performance. I have a M2 iPad Pro and an old Macbook Pro from 2015 and I ONLY use that Macbook Pro because I need to frequently stitch photos together and load them directly into my lightroom library. 

I'd love to use just the iPad for that but looks like I'll have to use Affinity Photo to do that.

There must be some reason. There are so many people requesting this (including me) and Adobe is ignoring it for years. I don't know, what's the problem here. I need these functions frequently. Also there is no calibration panel and some masking options are missing, which are available on the lightroom mobile app on the macbook. It's frustrating.

None of these excuses are viable. It is 2024 – 7 YEARS – after the first known request for this feature. The current 13" iPad Pro has an M4 processor and the same amount of RAM as a 14" MacBook Pro. Just give us the Mac app at this point.

 

This is LAZY and borderline malicious from Adobe management.

Any idea when are we going to see exposure blending options in the Mobile iPad version?

I can't be the only one in dire need of this option!

 

Thanks in advance

Like a panorama merge? That is already available. Or do you mean like a collage for a poster or somesuch? That is available in Classic in the print panel but not in cloud-based lightroom which cannot even print yet.

credo che sarebbe un ottima idea poter creare layout automatici su lightroom

attendo di sapere se esiste già una funzionalità simile o commenti circa questa miglioria.

I do not understand what you are asking. Can you provide more details about your request?

I'm asking for a tool to merge photos directly from the Lightroom application.

thanks!

@Tyler_White7934  As you can see, your post was merged.

People have been requesting this feature since... 2016.

And yet Adobe VP of Photo had the audacity to say during PetaPixel interview that they keep adding new features...

8 years. Not to develop something new; just activate it on iPad.

Wouldn't it be great if lightroom mobile had a photomerge option? Especially when limited with your smartphone sensor, being able to stitch together high resolution landscapes piece by piece. I use this tool most of the time when using loght room classic and would be really helpful on mobile especially when limited with a smartphone sensor.

Getting focus stacking and HDR in LR Mobile would make a computer redundant. Processing power should be sufficient. Many cameras do it directly.

 

Can we have that please?
