Does the Lightroom 6 HDR merge function work with film scan?


Recommended Posts

If so, can you help?  When I try I get a message saying that 'the photos do not all contain the necessary metadata for merging?

Do I need to adjustment my scanning and/or importing workflow, or am I just out of luck??

Thank you,

Adam

I think the software needs to know the relative EV's to complete the process and I think that is normally achieved by tracking the shutter speeds. Or if there is an EV value from the meter in the EXIF it may use that.

 

I would try adding the shutter/aperture info in to the EXIF if you can (Exiftool, perhaps?).

 

I think in some other HDR software you can manually 'arrange' the photos in the correct sequence but I don't know if that's an option in lightroom.

thank you Phil.   I appreciate your time.  Your comment makes sense.  I will play around with it a little more along those lines.  All the best, Adam
