Hello,

I am trying to do a panorama of recently taken Solar eclipse pics and its not working either in LR nor PS.

The error i am getting is "Unable to merge selected photos, no matching imagery found". I did a panorama of Lunar eclipse 2 years back and it worked fine.

Below my system config, anything to do with this being MacOS?

Lightroom version: 7.2 x64 [ 20240214-0910-27200e9 ] (Feb 14 2024)

Operating system: macOS
OS Version: macOS 12.6.3 (21G419)
Application architecture: x64
Computer model: MacBookPro16,2 / Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1038NG7 CPU @ 2.00GHz
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 2.0 GHz
Built-in memory: 16,384.0 MB

Any help appreciated.

I am trying to understand your aim for merging images (Panorama or HDR).

Are you trying to create an image with multiple phases of the eclipse, taken as the eclipse progressed.

If so, that is a job for Photoshop. Lightroom-Classic won't like overlapping blank sky areas (no details to align) and so fails.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

You have Lightroom Desktop NOT Lightroom Classic. Please post in the LR forum.

You are using the Desktop client of Lightroom Cloud .. Lightroom Classic is the on computer version.

DNG and NEF

'Are you referring to not being able to merge DNG photos and also not being able to merge NEF photos. Or are you not able to merge DNG and NEF photos as in a mixed set of DNG and NEF?

DNG + DNG + DNG, does not mege

and

NEF + NEF + NEF, does not merge

or

DNG + NEF, does not merge
