Merging 3 Photos into HDR - Not Working

Hey Everyone,

Does Lightroom limit you to two images when merging to HDR? I have several groups of three different exposures that I want to merge for HDR, but I continue to receive error messages.

"Unable to merge the photos. Please cancel and review your selection." 

They're all raw files, all of them are the same focal length, and aperture. The only difference is the shutter speed.

It will work with only two images, but not three. I'm shooting with a Canon 5D Mark III and used it's HDR settings, shooting at multiple exposures.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Lightroom CC | Build 1193777 | 8.0 Release | Camera Raw 11.0

Thank you,

Mike

At least one source states LR has issues in photo merge when using Joel sources, apparently Adobe designed based on using RAW.

All 3 images same file type?

Was this using a zoom, and did you have some zoom creep? In LR, check the cropped dimensons.  (View/View options, alter the options)

Also, a similar thread:ERROR: HDR Unable to merge the photos

Might want to post copys of the 3 images, for review.

    I saw that post and reviewed my images. It was a tripod mounted shot, remote triggered, and all in raw. I've added screenshots of my images specs from Lightroom.

    Here's two articles you may find helpful:

    Exposing a digital image (which also deals with HDR)

    I have merged seven and more, yes overkill.

    Now, supposidly LR is supposed to ignore any modificatons you did in LR to your images when merging. But did you do some edits? perhaps tonality?

    That said, I have had an issue from time to time, one image in a set fouling it up, intentialy then applied auto tone to the images, and despite LR supposidly ignoring that, they merged.

    I have had a few times when nothing would help, had to ignore the one image with the issue.

    So,

    Apply tonality changes despite LR ignoring that during a merge.

    Un apply tonality changes, despite LR ignoring that in a merge

    See if removing one or more images from your bracket set, will allow the others to merge.

    Adobe stll needs work on the Photo Merge.

    P.S. for those not famililar with HDR merge, changing just the shutter speed is prefered.

    These are all straight out of the camera. I'm wanting to merge first, then edit once the images have been properly merged. I can merge two images, but when it comes to the third, it just refuses. This is trying across two different photos sets.
