"Unable to detect hdr exposure bracket size" in Photoshop

[FauxtoGuy]

I have seen multiple threads about this error in the PShop forums. Also general web searches. But I have not located a workable answer to the issue. I typically bracket -2, 0, +2 (or slightly less) to expose for forest with bright sky/clouds. I use a leveled tripod, and pan in 1/3 image increments.

Shooting sky/clouds above darker terrain is an expousre chalenge. My single frame bracketed images are no problem. And my non bracketed panos work just as well. Can't fathom why the bracketed HDR panos fail every time.

Anyone successfully overcome this prompt, resulting in full HDR Panos?

thanks

Thanks

Hi There,

That shouldn't be happening, let's make it right.

Could you please have a look at a similar discussion here and let us know if it helps? https://community.adobe.com/t5/Lightroom-Classic/HDR-Pano-unable-to-merge/td-p/10178721

Yes, I read that thread. It provides a sub-optimal work-around, but does not explain or correct the specific cause of the error message.
