HDR Workflow - LR Classic - PS - Back to LR Classic

Explorer ,
Mar 26, 2025 Mar 26, 2025

I'm having trouble pin pointing an issue I have. I've recently switched my HDR workflow from Photomatix to processing HDR directly in LR for more flexability. When I used Photomatix it provided TIFF files for me to edit, and I could take any image into Photoshop for speciality editing, save it, and it updates perfectly in LR without any color or gamma shifts.

 

Now, while I am editing these Lightroom HDR photos (in SDR Preview, I am not delivering HDR files) and I send an image to photoshop it will come in flat and without my edits (it's a 32-bit file inside of PS) and I cannot do my work in Photoshop and return to LR with my original adjustments intact. What part of this workflow am I missing?

 

Thanks everyone!

Are you refereeing to HDR as the treatment, or as the merge process. In other words looking and editing on a HDR monitor using the expanded color space, or merging multiple frames at multiple exposures into one image?

 

Two very different uses of the term HDR by Adobe.

I am merging 5 exposures and viewing in SDR, I am just using the lattitude of the HDR DNG file for editing.
