Photoshop CC made a couple of changes to the 32 bit Merge to HDR Pro process that I think may be pretty advantageous to your workflow. Instead of pressing okay and receiving a 32 bit image in Photoshop after “Merge to HDR Pro” it now has you go straight into Adobe Camera Raw. It cuts out the middle man as we all pretty much brought that file into ACR anyway. It mitigates having to save the intermediary 32 bit file and manually bring it into ACR.
Due to these changes, I have modified my 32 bit workflow to accommodate the new process. Check it out if it is something that interests you. I know I was pretty stoked!
f.64 Academy and f.64 Elite are the brainchildren of Blake Rudis. While he is a landscape photographer, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!

Great video tutorial, I will try the new functions in Photoshop CC with my next project.
Thanks

Awesome! Glad to hear you liked it!
Just wanted to say thanks for the tut. I used it several times last night and very pleased with the results!
Great video as I’m just started to do HDR. Your workflow really makes sense compared to others I have tried.
One problem, I work in ProPhoto RGB but no matter how I do the 32 bit to 16 bit conversion the metadata for the converted file shows it as sRGB. How do I get it to stay in ProPhoto?
Thanks, Jim
Believe it or not, 3 years later, I happened across your excellent video. I was frustrated trying to go from Br’s tools, which worked fine into Ps, but could not get back to ACR in the new Ps CC for 32bit. Following your directions worked. Thank you.
That’s great! I am glad to see it was still very relevant and helpful.
