Question

Limitations of 32bit bracketing in Camera RAW

Im using Photoshop 21 on PC.  When I open my bracketed photos directly to Camera Raw with Merge to HDR option it doesn't do 32bit. there is no option for any 8/16/32 bit whatsoever. HDR Panorama doesn't work as well.

When I go thru Automate/HDR pro, it gives me the 32bit option, but as I adjust the photo it brings it back to PS in 16bit.

Is it a PC problem? Am I missing a plug-in?

I don't do this, so I could be a mile off but... What do you have set in the prefs?

I tried it and the result is same.

Well, I do get to edit it through HDR pro in 32bit, but then it converts to 16bit. No HDR panorama though.

Lightroom mostly rejects HDRs. Doesn't do panoramas at all.
