Stitching Raw Files with Camera Raw 9.1.1, in CS6.

Hi,

I am trying to stitch several raw files together with Camera Raw 9.1.1. within CS6. I was told that this function started to be available after version 9. After I imported these files into Camera Raw, selected all files, I could not find filmstrip options for me to merge them into panoramic format. Is it because Camera Raw 9.1.1 operates differently in CS6？ Does it mean I cannot merge raw files for panoramic photos or for HDR ? Any input is grea appreciated. Thanks a lot.

If you're working from rendered RGB files (PSD, TIFF or jpeg), there's absolutely no reason to stitch in ACR. Just let Photoshop do it.

The point of stitching in ACR is that the result is a merged raw file with all the sensor information intact. Without that advantage, ACR stitching serves no particular purpose.

You can use File>Automate>Merge to HDR Pro or Photomerge and from Bridge CS6 Tools>Photoshop>Merge to HDR Pro or Photomerge.

Neither way actually opens the acr interface, but you can use camera raw files just the same.

Thanks. Yours is the only response that helps. After the raw files are opened, I will save the merged file into a jpeg and reopen the file in Camera Raw?

You could do that, but i would use tif instead until you want to save as a final image.

Jpeg applies compression which can decrease the image quality.

Also, if you want to make adjustments to the camera raw files before HDR or Photomerge, just open them in camera raw

and when you open the same images in HDR or Photomerge the adjustments will carry over.

This function was added in ACR 9.4 for CC.

ACR 9.1.1 only add newer Camera RAW Format support for CS6. NEs ACR features lie ACR stitching is not enabled in CS6. You need CC for ACR 9 feature. The Film strip feature shoul be available but all you will be able to do is sync setting to other RAW file in the strip.
