HDR: Queue/Batch the processing

PROBLEM:

The HDR feature for architecture/real-estate jobs. It means, when I come back from the job, my cards contains at least 40 pictures over 120 RAWS (bracketing 0,+,-). Currently, for each pictures I have to:

- wait for the previous HDR merge is done

- select the 3 RAWs

- start the HDR merge

- wait again

It's painful slow and time consumming.

LAST TIME/WHEN:

Today. And a few times a week. Dependings of my currents jobs.

WORKAROUND:

I do not know any

WISH:

I would like to select all my HDR's ready pictures, and click on "detect HDR and Merge".

-> C1 would detect the pictures

-> Merge everything

-> Error should be mentioned in the Event Log

HAPPY TO BE CONTACTED:

Yes.

Last note: the HDR and Panorama features do NOT use my GPU. Leaving a task typtaclly GPU-friendly for the CPU. The same Panorama ist at least 1000% faster using PTGui which take advantage of the GPU.

Tested in a Windows 10 i7 RTX Laptop and on a Windows 11 i7-1260P desktop

Thanks Rani.

Do you think the lightroom results are as good or better that Capture One?

We know batch processing is the solution which all other HDR software programs use!

I am on the M1 and about to upgrade, I was hoping that the new M2/M3 chips might help the Capture One HDR situation but guessing not.
