I usually shoot a burst of 3 bracketed exposures, -.7, 0, +.7 EV. However, to take advantage of ETTR, I have exposure compensation set to +.7. Thus the actual captures have EVs of 0, +.7 and +1.4. (For the type of shooting I do, this almost always gives me enough highlight protection and reaches into deep shadows to allow exposure blending if needed.)
Here's the problem in Lightroom. The camera's exposure sequence is 0, -.7, +.7. That means, with the base compensation applied, the first shot in the sequence is +.7, the second is "normal" and the third +1.4. That means when I auto-stack in LR by capture time, the image at the top of the stack is overexposed by +.7. I can go into custom sort and manually drag the "correctly" exposed image to the left of each sequence before auto-stacking, but that can be a real pain. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this automatically? (I realize I could shoot groups of 5 .7 apart with no compensation, but I would rather not go that route for reasons of shooting speed, card/disc space, and clutter)
Thanks
