Merge Photo>HDR and >Panorama Broken for Leica M Files in LR 6.2.1 and CC 2015.2.1?

Hi

It seems that in the latest updates to LR the Merge Photo> Panorama and Merge Photo> HDR routines have been rendered non-functional for files out of some or all Leica digital-M cameras' files. I had the problem first on Saturday trying to run a pano merge on files from my M9.

I posted on the Adobe Forum here, and as yet have had no response.

I posted on the Leica forum here, and so far one other forum member has indicated that he has the problem with both Pano and HDR Merge routines on files from an M240.

Attached is an example of the way Merge Photo> Panorama output and 4-file pano from my M9.

When I tried HDR merge, I found I got no visible output (just the grey preview box) unless I unchecked Auto Tone, which caused the black rectangle to appear

Anyone else using Merge Photo on files from any digital M camera in LR 6.2 or CC2015.2 or later? If so, please post your experience here and maybe also to the Adobe forum linked above. Maybe we can get them to sort this out...

Jim

Just heard from Eric Chan that this issue has been identified by the Adobe Camera Raw team and is now fixed. The fix will be in the upcoming dot release of LR and ACR
