Why I can not create HDR 32 bit by the latest version of Photoshop cc 2018 and camera raw updates?

Here is the problem: when I pass from camera raw to Photoshop after development of foto 32 bit, the file displayed dont have the mask that must be create automatically containing the raw camera changes. The photo in Photoshop  is not longer 32 bit but 16 bit although I have checked "Photo - edit - 32bit

System  of my computer:

monitor 1366x768

process: INTEL (R) CORE (TM):5-42104  1,70GHz

RAM 8.0 giga

sistema operativo 64BIT, proc. su x64

Thank you so much !!!

I tried again to create by Photoshop cc image 32 bit per Chanel but I don't get the advanced Camera Raw editable filter.  I cannot even rasterize the change made in camera Raw.

I looked some video tutorials and I do the same things, but in my computer I have not the the same result when I finish my work in Camera raw, click Ok, and I enter in Photoshop. This is the problem

I checked the graphics card of my laptop that gave me the CPU failed. Maybe the problem is this,

Thank you very much for your help.

Have a nice day


The 32 bits mode is very limited. And I’m quite sure that it is only an intermediate file format. Camera Raw does not work with it. You can create a 32 bits file, change the layer to a smart one and then change the bit depth to 16 bits (without flattening). You may use the ACR filter on that layer then. You will not loose the 32 bits depth for whatever use you may have and you still can modify your developement parameters.

It’s not your graphics, it’s not your computer it’s a limitation of the system. I need to say, that I never felt that as a limitation.

"Merge to HDR Pro can not merge Smart Object Documents. They will be skipped"  😞

Hello, I think that a thread on the https://feedback.photoshop.com with a constructive explanation on how that would fit and speed up your workflow would be useful. Maybe with a handle that would not be so confrontational to the employees 😉

What mask are you talking of?

How did you create the HDR image?

If you open a 32-bits-image it will be 32bits. Photoshop does not modify the bit depth on it's own. This said, when you place a 32-bits-image into a different bit depth, Photoshop place as a smart object. No direct changes will occur.

Thank you for answer me.

I live in Italia and my English is not well,

I will try to explain you the problem as best I can.

I do: Automate - join as HDR pro ... I choose the photo, tap OK, so automatically open a new window where I choose to merge 32 bits and complete tone adjustment in ACR- After that, I'm in Camera Raw, where I make the changes (exposure, White balance and so on) and click OK.

Now I'm in Photoshop where the background appears but without the mask of the changes made in camera Raw, that is importan for add  further adjustements.

The problem is that I haven't the automatic mask! Why?

ACR works only in 16 or 8 bits mode, as most of the filters.

If you look at the history, you see that at some point, the "smart layer" is flattened. That renders all to a flat image.
