    It's trying to tell you to use the raw image files directly, not convert them first using the raw converter (I think). If you want to go through ACR first, import the images at 16 bits per channel (then if that warning still comes up, you can safely ignore it).

    I agree the wording is a tad confusing.

    What format were the files you tried to merge?

    CR2 files

    I think it is meaning that I shouldn't use ACR first - just confusing wording

    thing is.. I did 'open' it from within photoshop and located the original files ( I thought) not those adjusted in ACR

    Does adjusting them in ACR affect the originals?

    No, the changes are written as calculation parameters into an xmp sidecar file.

    thats doubly confusing then because I opened the files on disk, not as already open filesne_nau.gif

    I couldn't repeat that, the Merge to HDR dialog accepted my cr2 files without a hickup. One of them had an xmp sidecar (which I didn't select of course).

    Ps had been hanging a lot before when I had been trying to select files

    It might be there was actually something wrong with Ps
