Photo Merge: please make "Create HDR Preview" optional to speed up workflow.

Thanks heaps for this. The first option (holding the Shift key while clicking on Photo Merge > HDR doesn't seem to work, but the Ctrl+Shift+H option does, which will certainly help speed up my workflow. It's not perfect though, as you don't get to choose how much Deghosting you want when using this keyboard shortcut. It will default to to your previous settings, but for some shots I need Deghosting and others I don't need any. Appreciated though.

Tip #6: Skip the preview

Seems like I'm always pressed for time. Who isn't? Although I enjoy the creative process of editing my images, if there is a way to speed it up, then I'm all for it. There are at least a couple of ways to bypass the HDR preview window. By holding the Shift key while clicking on Photo Merge > HDR, the merging process will take place in the background while you do other things. Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H after selecting the images to be merged will do the same thing. Using these shortcuts means you won't get to see a preview. However, if the images were shot on a tripod, there was little or no movement in the scene, and you reset the HDR options as indicated in the previous tip, there really is no need to see a preview anyway. Besides, if something doesn't look right, you can always perform the merge again using the preview.
