Lightroom HDR Batch Process. Is there a way?

[russellsnr]

Hi, I posted this on the Lightroom forum but after 80+ views only had one reply with "not sure what you mean Russ" so from that posting.
As I understand it you cannot BATCH process within Lightroom when it comes to HDR (maybe wrong but cannot see it).
I have Photomatix Pro stand alone and Lightroom plugin but again cannot see an option to BATCH process images.
Is there a way I am missing or another HDR program that will allow export from Lightroom direct to BATCH process?
Thank You
Russ

My follow up reply as follows to the not sure what....

I have 144 images 3 of +2, 0, -2 so 144 divide by 3 is 48 so to get the 48 final images I would have to select 3 and process 48 times, with Photomatix Pro you can from the stand alone software import all 144 images and it will batch process useing 3 images at a time but I cannot see an option to do this from Lightroom with export to Photomatix or within Lightrooms Merge to HDR option.
Thanks
Russ

You can use Auto Sync to make the same edit to a group of photos.

Lightroom is does not have batch processing capabilities per se and was not designed to.

Adobe's photo batch processes run using Photoshop (with some help from Adobe Bridge).

To integrate John and Manfred's comments: Lightroom makes it trivially easy to copy or synchronize settings from a single image to any others. However, the HDR function is not a set of settings applied to a single image; it is a merge of multiple images. AFAIK, the merge process has to be done one set of images at a time.
