Automate: Merge to HDR Pro: How to fix incorrect EV values

I'm trying to use Merge to HDR Pro, but find that Photoshop has used the wrong EV values for the files that I chose, also resulting in the wrong stacking order.

  1. Is there a way to tell Photoshop the correct values? I only seem to be able to uncheck one file.
  2. Where does Photoshop acquire these values?

Am running Photoshop 21.0.2 on Win10

It seems that I can change the EVvalue of the final merged image, but not of the individual images.

  • If I knew where Photoshop acquired the EV for each photo, then maybe I could tweak them
  • Or how can I change the stacking order of the images

Edited: Solved

  • The Merge to HDR Pro dialog, Browse, does not let me set the EV
  • But if I open my images first, then from Merge to HDR Pro I select Add Open Files, then the Manually Set EV dialog appears. I don't know why I don't see it, if I use the Browse files option (and upload the images).
