Bridge automated photo stacking is simply a painful existence.
I run a real estate media company and we are shooting thousands of images per day.
Our workflow includes stacking 5 image brackets for file management and organization while culling.
Bridge's "Auto Stack HDR" is effectively useless. It NEVER works correctly and ithas no customization for stacking parameters. Lightroom at least has a "Stack By Capture Time" feature which is decent but lightroom itself is not a great choice for file manageent.
We NEED the abilty to set custom parameters for auto stacking. All of the data needed is in the meta data.
We need options for stacking via
- Capture Time
- Sequence
- EV
- Exposure Compensation
- File Type
- Camera Serial Number
- Any other meta data that may be relevant.
Additionally, Please make selecting the WHOLE STACK the standard and selecting the top image require the option key. I can't think of a reason that someone would want to drag the top image off of a stack without purposfully meaning to do so.
We as a company are still using Bridge 2022 because it seems to be the best version before Stacking became completely usuless.
Willing to pay a bounty to the engineer or script writer who can make this happen.
Fro what I understand, Adobe has some sort of patent on the concept of "Stacking" which means there are no other alternatives that can help.
