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.

100% agree. Tip. Affinity Photo on iPad will HDR merge including options like align and anti ghosting etc

I know this feature has long been requested, but honestly, I'm running an iPad Pro with Apple Silicon "M" chip and I still need to open my MacBook to perform what should be very straightforward operations. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

The iPad app needs to have complete feature parity with the desktop LR app.  I can go out right now and buy an M4 iPad Pro, but on that device I can't HDR or pano merge, my masking options are limited for no reason at all, and I can't do AI denoising. Why? Auto mask for brush has been in the desktop app for years, but the one device where it makes the most sense, the iPad, doesn't have this option. Why? Why can't I use the object masking tool on the iPad? Why don't we have all the skin, eye, teeth etc masking options? 
I can do more on my wife's £300 windows laptop than I can on an iPad with many times the performance, and that cannot be correct. And please let us update our portfolio websites from an iPad. The fact that I can't do this simple task from my iPad is absolutely insane.

LR on iPad is my travel solution but it's missing the most important features: panorama and HDR. With M2-4 processors on iPads there is enough power to process. I hope Adobe will integrate it soon.

My guess is that for some reason a completely different thread with an already correct answer was merged into this one and the whole thread adopted the other thread's correct for that thread's answer. Obviously this answer has nothing to do with the current main thread. Likely the other thread also had a small subquestion about panoramas on tablets. Obviously modern iPads have more than enough power to merge panoramas and merge HDR. For some reason it's not a priority for Adobe. No clue why not. Lots of things I think are really important are not a priorty for Adobe at all.

I'm sorry but how in the world did this get to be the accepted answer regarding photomerging / stitching? The examples provided (fielnames, syncing, metadata) speak nothing panoramas. I wish I could downvote an answer.

The original request is for something that seems so basic and yet not there for tablet/mobile users. There is no reason photomerge should not be included for iPads at the very least.

Lightroom Mobile has improved dramatically with recent updates, but one feature is still glaringly missing, and I've no doubt it's something many users would love to have.

That feature is the ability to merge images for extended exposure range, or for panoramas.

Of course this is available on desktop versions but many of us are using iPad extensively these days.

It's a feature that is available on other Apps, like Capture One, so I'm sure it's not a technology issue.
