Trying to process a raw photo using a multi-raw HDR processing.   I am taking the raw file and processing it three ways:  as exposed,  +1.00 EV, and -1.00 EV.   I then load the three files into the Aurora batch processing dialog, and attempt to make a bracketed HDR from the three files.   Instead of making a single HDR image,  Aurora processes the three files separately and returns three files.   What's wrong?

  Hi Bruce, 

  In order to compose bracket groups, Aurora reads the images' metadata and checks for the following:

  Rule 1

  • Same file extension
  • Same exposure program
  • Same focal length

  Rule 2

  • Time difference between shots is less than 4 seconds

  Rule 3

  • If the image cannot be previewed the time difference between brackets should be less than 15 seconds in order for them to be recognized as a group

  Rule 4

  • Edges comparing

  In case any of these checks returns false, the image will be recognized as a single.

  Also, please note that you can manually customize the bracket groups and even create new ones. 
  Just drag a bracket to a group of your choice, see the screenshot: http://prntscr.com/tkprtm
