P: Enable photo merge (Pano & HDR) with imported images

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.

    Hi there,

    Using Lightroom mobile on a Samsung 5 mobile, I have imported three HDR Raw frames taken on my Nikon D600.  I was hoping to use Lightroom mobile to merge this, can I do that?   I cannot see any HDR options in LR Mobile.  Possibly this is because LR mobile HDR does not support the Samsung S5.  However I don't want to use my mobile phone to take the photos, I am using my Nikon SLR.  My questions are:

    Is there any version of LR mobile that can merge the raw HDR photos taken on my Nikon?  Is it possible that I am not seeing the HDR options because the phone camera is not HDR compatible - but if I bought another phone that had an HDR compatible camera, LR Mobile would enable the HDR function, and I could also merge photos taken from my SLR?

    Any work arounds, suggestions, crazy ideas that might help?

    Cheers

    Matt Balogh

      Hi Matt, HDR is not yet available although mobile is still evolving so watch this space. LR mobile has only recently got the selective adjustment tools (brush, radial and gradient filters) which are premium features, only available to subscribers. I’m sure adobe will continue to add new features but at present HDR merge is only available in Lightroom on the desktop.

        Hi Jon,  Oh, I see.  I had read this article, and about halfway down it describes merging 3 images in LR Mobile (albeit from a scan of one original image) so it sound like the ability to merge the images is already there:  Lr Mobile Update: Raw HDR capture mode for iOS and Android   So hopefully a proper HDR ability on LR mobile is coming soon.  I do a lot of travel photography, and have to bring a computer with me for this one function, LR mobile covers me for everything else (I have a full CC subscription) for Lr, so I have, I think, the top model of LR Mobile.  I can't actually see the facility described in the article in my LR mobile, and I suspect that is because my phone is not supported.

        Thanks

        Matt

            Hi loicc,

            This feature requires LR desktop, and is not available on LR mobile.

            Hi mhoffman2001,

            I just hope this feature will be added soon in an update.

            Because as of right now, with the lack of keywords management, not being able to merge some photos together, and the most important one, not being able to treat pictures taken in the filed without to have to use a computer first, this Lightroom Mobile is far from being a Pro app.
