Now that LRM has the ability to do HDR photos with the built in camera, it would be nice to also be able to produce HDR images with imported photos. It should be fairly easy to implement since the coding is already done for the camera.
I second 'selondon's' advice about posting your enhancement request. I would also love to see pano-merge and HDR-merge in the mobile app!
However, I also want to make it clear that the camera inside the Lightroom app does capture HDR image. What it does not do is HDR merge from images in your catalog, and it does not let you save out the bracket images used to render the final HDR output from the LR camera. If you enable "Save unprocessed original" in the in-camera options, then LR does save both the HDR and normal expsoure DNG image for each shot captured. For usage info, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/capture-photos-mobile-ios.html
As a landscape photographer, it would be nice to use my iPad for traveling and editing, but without these fundamentalediting options, I am still forced to take my laptop with me. And before anyone says "but you can do HDR merges if you take the photo with your device via the Lightroom Mobile app," let's keep in mind that this is not a professional solution. I am not using my phone to take professional images. Let's face it: if I used my phone for photography, I probably wouldn't be using Creative Cloud and I probably wouldn't have many/any clients.
I honestly don't know how you, as professional developers, could have released the Lightroom app without HDR and Panorama.
Hi guys, I read few topic about this argument but none of them seem to be updated. I used Lightroom Classic for 10+ years and lately I tried Lightroom Premium on my iPad Pro. The experience was awesome, I love editing my photos using the pen and I prefer doing my job on the iPad rather than working sitted on my desk. It makes me more creative and I would like to move my workflow totally to it. but..
Why is Adobe missing out the opportunity to give us a full version of lightroom? The lack of hdr and pano merging tool is awful. I think the hw of iPad is more than capable of doing it.
how can we know if implementing those festures is in the roadmap of the software house?

It would be nice to enable merging photos in Adobe Lightroom Photoshop mobile (iPad). I'm taking pictures with my DSLR in different exposures. When I want to merge them, I need to got to the desktop version or Lightroom Classic to get my hdr.
I would very appreciate the possibility to merge photos to hdr in lightroom for the ipad. I also would like to get some more import options like it is in lightroom cc (desktop). You can rename your photos, add meta data and add some keywords. Afterwards it would be very nice to sync all these information with lightroom cc (desktop).
That would be so helpful to keep my workflow while travelling with the ipad. Thank you so much.
In my opinion they value. When you use the same camera long enough, the photo names will start counting from the beginning again. When you don't change the names, you will have them twice sometime. This is the point, where you will face problems with importing pictures with same names (overwriting and so on).
I bought the ipad to travel with camera and ipad only. It's more convenient than taking the macbook on trips with all its "accessoires". In my opinion many people got the same idea, especially the full frame user 😄
So I personally think it's necessary to get a workflow similar to the desktop programs, otherwise it would make no sense to get an ipad with adobe software, when you have no options for your photos and can't keep your workflow or be able to create and adjusted one.
The cloud does not use filenames. It keeps them, but they are not core to the system. Each image has what is supposed to be a unique key based on the actual content of the image (this means they likely are creating a hash based on the actual image data or the meta-data). Since Adobe has never published (that I have seen) I cannot evaluate the concept the uniqueness claim.
I can state I have import over a hundred images from a Sony A7R IV on high continous from a single sequence of ocean horizon. And I had no issues.
In Classic, you only had issues with duplicate filenames if you put everything in a single folder, if you accepted the default of a separate directory per import day, then even then you would not have had issues.
I would point out, every digital camera I have used allows you to change the filename to some degree.
I am also a full frame photographer, and I only use Lr in the cloud. Yes, when you look online you see a lot of photographers who use Lr cloud as the ingestion system to Classic. However, this is not the product vision; and fundamentally takes the cloud product in a direction that is in conflict with the vision of the product.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is, what it is.
This has my vote (literally). I have been working exclusively on an iPhone and iPad and the lack of HDR and Pano Merge is a glaring workflow hole for me. Right now, to do an HDR and/or Pano merge, I need to export the images, load them into Affinity Photo, Merge, Save, and then re-import into Lightroom. I understand the memory constraints... especially for a phone... can be difficult to work with and would potentially provide a bad user experience. But what about doing it in the cloud, since our photos are there anyway? Just a thought.
