merge to HDR not working in Camera Raw 11.4 from Bridge
A few weeks ago I updated to the latest versions of Photoshop, Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom. My version of Camera RAW is 11.4.0.273. Since this updated I have had trouble merging images to HDR. When I launch from Bridge Merge to HDR will not merge more than 4 images in an exposure bracket series of images (1 stop apart). It will give me the message "Error, The operation could not be completed" if I try to merge 5 or more images. It will merge any 4 images in a series - first 4, last four, every other one, etc, - but only four total. Sometimes it will merge more than four in some bracket series, but I do not know why it works on some series of images and not on others. I can see no difference in file size, types, resolution, bracket exposures.
I did not have this problem before the latest camera raw update. It always merged all images even if there were 9 images in the series.
I am using CR2 raw images from the same camera that I have been using for the last few years. I even tried converting the images to DNG and I get the same problem - camera raw will not merge to HDR more than 4 images in some bracket series.
I am using a Windows 10 Pro computer with the very latest updates, My video card driver is also updated with the latest drivers.
I like using the Merge to HDR function in camera raw so I am disappointed in this development. I have seen a couple other people in the forums have a similar problem but I see no solutions given. If this cannot be fixed I am thinking of rolling back the update to the prior version if I can.

I also see no ability to merge a select number of files in camera raw to a panorama in Photoshop. I think this option use to be available under the tools header...
