I am so thrilled to see HDR support in Pixelmator Pro! Thank you for making this a reality and for not forgetting about us Pixelmator Pro users. Huzzah!

This looks very interesting. I currently create HDR images using images shot at different exposures and merge them in Adobe Camera RAW. What format do I have to export these images in so that I can edit using HDR in Pixelmator. Would I then see the various layers?

It doesn't't look like Pixelmator supports importing images to merge into HDR. Or does it?

Thanks for always developing and adding features.

I can't seem to get HDR support to work in Pixelmator Pro when using 'Edit with >>> Pixelmator Pro' from MacOS Photos. I've tried an iPhone HEIF photo and a HEIF photo created from a RAW by Photomator.

Pixelmator Pro's HDR feature IS working when I open from Finder.
