On my trip to Pittsburgh, for the sake of expediency I bracketed nearly
everything I took rather than taking the time to chimp my histogram. I
also took a bunch of panoramas because I wanted to play with the new LR6
feature.
In the WTF department, I just did a pano using both the bright and the
dark exposures for a couple of frames. I ended up with a photo that on
first glance looks fine.
It would be too good to believe that the panorama software is also HDR
aware, and if you feed it everything from a bracketed panorama, it will
just do the right thing, throw away clipped data, map the values onto an
expanded data range etc. However, it *could* be done, and probably
wouldn't even take a lot of extra code.
Does anyone know the mechanism of what LR6 does when you feed it a
bracketed panorama?
A couple of generations back, they changed it so that anytime you change
the view that you're looking at, your filter gets dropped, and you have
to turn it back on. This is really annoying if you are going through a
bunch of subdirectories looking for unrated photos, in each subdirectory.
It turns out that if it finishes processing a pano or an hdr, it will
also drop the filter, and all of a sudden, in the middle of something
you're doing, the pictures in your view will change as everything
suddenly becomes visible when the background process finishes.
