noise HDR

[Femke0D4C]

Hi, I am beginning to use Lightroom for real estate. If I merge 3 photo's with different adjustments I'll get a weird glitchy greeny photo. It look terrible. The photo's are clear, but also Photoshop merges this into ugly colours. What is it that I do wrong? I just followed the steps on youtube. Importing photo's, stack and than HDR merge.

A few questions just to narrow down the issue a bit:

a) Did you shoot originally in Raw or in JPG?

b) Have these 3 photos "with different adjustments" been differently edited in the computer, or have they originally been shot as separate exposures using differing 'real' exposure settings (say, 3 different shutter speeds when all the other exposure settings are kept constant)?

c) When you say "Photoshop merges this into ugly colours" are you in fact using Photoshop to do the HDR merge, or are you using the built-in function of Lightroom Classic?

a) JPG

b)  "real" different exposure settings

c) Lightroom classic or lightroom cc merging built in function

The most efficient way to troubleshoot this is to share the original photos by attaching them to your reply here. (You may need 2 or 3 separate replies.)
