#Lightroom 5.7.1 tutorial series

If you have this issue try logging out of your Creative Cloud desktop app (logging out, not closing it) and then logging back in. NOTE: Many people have had trouble getting Lightroom CC (2015) to open after it has been installed from the Creative Cloud desktop app. I also think that photographers who have previouslyВ usedВ Photoshop or other applications to accomplish these types of multi-image blending tasks willВ find the new functionality of Lightroom to be a great benefit in many cases. Photographers who only use Lightroom can nowВ create blended high dynamic range images and panoramas like the rest of us, which is huge for them.

While working with merged HDR images in Lightroom still doesnвЂ™t provideВ the same degree of fine control that you can get when manually blending exposures in Photoshop, and I donвЂ™t think it handles the most extreme dynamic range as well, it provides an excellent and efficient option for many situations. The resulting output is a high dynamic range panorama raw file that can be fully developed in Lightroom.

Three frames merged into a DNG panorama and adjusted in LR CC before opening in PS for additional developing.ДЇinally, you can create highВ dynamic range panoramas by first creating merged HDR files for each frame in the pano series and then merging these HDR raw filesВ into an HDR panorama. Photo Merge to Panorama allows you to stitch, crop and develop multi-frame panoramas without needing to go to Photoshop or some other image stitching application, and the panoramic DNG file can be fully developed in Lightroom like any raw file. This process is now greatly simplified in Lightroom CCВ and no longer requires Photoshop!

Lightroom Photo Merge to HDR is similar to theВ 32-bit HDR tiff file processing capability that was first introduced backВ in LR 4 and which I demonstrated in a previous video blog and also include in my Developing for Extended Dynamic Range video series. In addition, the merged HDR or pano DNG can be opened as a tiff file in Photoshop for additional developing there. Four exposures merged to an HDR raw file and adjusted in LR CC before opening in PS for additional developing.Д«oth merge features combine raw files to produce a merged DNG raw file, which is brilliant! This means we can merge first and make our adjustments directly to the merged raw file, which I assume retains all the adjustment capabilitiesВ of the originatingВ raw files.
