- Let's take a look at the panoramic merge process
inside of Lightroom.
In this case we could do either an HDR
or a standard panoramic file
because we've got both types of exercise files.
In Lightroom, I'm simply going to go to the Import module
and import some more photos.
Let's browse the computer here.
Go to the Desktop and jump into the Lightroom folder,
and go to the Source folder.
I'll choose all these images here
by just choosing the Source and clicking Choose.
It's gonna load all of those into Lightroom.
This'll show us all the images
from that particular location.
In this case it's one panoramic set shot in HDR.
I'll choose to Import all 45 photos, and they're added in.
Now you'll notice that those automatically get put
into the Current Import sub-Catalog.
I recommend that you select all of those
so they're active and then click under Collections
and Create a new Collection with the selections.
Let's call this HDR_interior,
and we'll Include all the selected photos.
This will make it easy to work with just that Collection.
All right, now that they're imported,
we can move on to developing.
So I'll jump into the Develop module.
Now since this is HDR,
there's not that much that I recommend you need to do.
But you can easily go ahead and choose the base image
if you want and make a few adjustments.
This is where you can evaluate things
like the white balance.
Do we want to use the white balance as it was shot,
or do we want to assign a new preset?
You can use the ability here to dial that in
or use the Eyedropper to sample.
That's one of those things that you can easily change
and apply to all of the photos.
Now feel free to take a look
at some of the Lens Correction issues.
These are always a good idea.
We can come down and Enable the basic Profile Correction.
That's gonna compensate for any lens distortion.
Now with that image selected, press Command + A
so they're all selected and click Sync.
This will allow you to sync things across.
I'll click Check None and just grab the White Balance
and the Lens Corrections that I applied,
and click Synchronize.
Now my white balance is consistent
and everything else is put together.
We'll actually take advantage
of some more of these Development settings
after we do our first merge.
In this case, let's start the merge
by going to some HDR photos.
