I have only one option Edit in photoshop , when  select that option , the photoshop gets open , but i don´t want to do the HDR in PHOTOSHOP i want to do it directly in the LIGHTROOM

In the menu /help/system info/

What version of Lightroom are you running?

If you are using the standalone version 6.x, you need to wait for version 7.0 for the new feature.

If you have the subscription 2015.x version, and if Lightroom thinks it is running in the standalone mode,

use the menu to log out,

exit LR

restart LR

log in, that should get LR back into the correct mode.

Are you sure about that? According to this comparison chart the HDR feature is also in Lightroom 6.

yes i don´t know why the MERGE TO HDR option is not apeearing in my menu

[Rob_Cullen]

When you confirm your Lr version has the HDR function-

You will need TWO identical images that have been exposed differently in camera, for Lr to use the HDR function.

Selecting just one image, or two different images does not work.

But it should be in the menu even if there are zero photos selected.

You haven't told us the version number of your Lightroom.

[dj_paige]

My Lightroom 6 has HD Merge.

The original poster obviously has some version of Lightroom before version 6.

[ManiacJoe]

My bad.

I really need to start using a bigger font on these Adobe web sites... 

[ramsesm6752016]

thank you i´ll check it as soon i get home , i´ll try to restart Lightroom to see what happens

[ramsesm6752016]

Instead the photo merge option i have EDIT IN Photoshop and i want to do the HDR in lightroom no in Photoshop

[JP Hess]

Lightroom 5.7.1 was the last update of Lightroom 5. Merge to HDR was introduced in Lightroom 6. If you are using Lightroom CC and are still on 5.7.1 then you either haven't installed the upgrade or you have a 32-bit operating system. Lightroom CC/6 is 64-bit only.

[ramsesm6752016]

How a i can know if my sistem is 32 bit or 64 bit?

[JP Hess]

To do the HDR merge in Lightroom you have to have Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6. That feature is not part of Lightroom 5. Never has been, and never will be. It looks like you are using Windows 10. If that is the case then you and went to Settings/System and then click on About  at the bottom of the list and it will tell you whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.

I'm wondering, however, if maybe you have installed Lightroom CC and you previously were using Lightroom 5. The two programs can be installed on the same computer and they have the same desktop icon. Is it possible that you have installed Lightroom CC, but are still using your Lightroom 5? Since your "Edit in" menu gives you the option of editing in Photoshop CC 2017, I think you have installed Lightroom CC 2015, but the desktop icon you are using is still pointing to your old Lightroom 5. What happens if you open the creative cloud application manager? Do you have the option to run Lightroom CC?
