Recently when using three DNG files to create an HDR image, I've been getting a gray box in the library module, and when I try to "develop" it, I get the error message "unsupported bit depth." I've done lots of HDR mergers before, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I select three images, edit in Ps HDR Pro, click OK when it's done, and save. Is this the wrong workflow? Have I got my bit depth set wrong in Ps?

Any suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Will
 
What file format is the HDR image coming back into Lr?
As far as I know the Develop module can only work with 32-bit TIFF files not DNG or PSD files.
I am familiar with this workflow since I do HDR work myself.
BTW Lr4 is brilliant for doing the tone mapping - but I think you have already worked that one out!

TIFF and DNG are ok, PSD isn't supported.
 
Victoria, I am away from home currently - no Ps on my laptop, otherwise I would check this myself.

As far as I am aware DNG is not an option as a saving format in Ps - please clarify.

TIFF's can be converted to DNG (as can PSD's, for that matter), so DNG's are supported. I'm on the wrong computer to check whether PS can save 32-bit to DNG direct - you're probably right about that though.
