It's just a shame that the merge module can only produce 8-bit DNGs: a 16-bit option, as found in Photoshop, would have left you more subtle tonal detail to work with. Of course, this is Lightroom, so if the combined image doesn't have the desired HDR glow, you can always apply non-destructive processing to perfect it after the fact. Where Photoshop's HDR Pro module gives you extensive control over the tone of your merged image, here you get only a few tickboxes and a choice of four deghosting levels. It does however open up new creative options, not least with a new pair of photomerge tools that let you stack and blend images into HDR and panoramic scenes.Īt first glance, these look pretty basic. The underlying image-processing engine hasn't changed, so if you're happy with Lightroom 5, the new version won't make your photos look any better.
