High Volume HDR Automation?

No, I'm not looking to merge 20 photos at .1 EV stop differentials into one beige image hahah.

I shoot real estate, and spend countless hours of my life merging my shots (3 shots, 3EV differences) over and over again. One house can have 80 merges.

Shift, click, Option M, enter, enter. Repeat until delirious.

On a mission to find automation with Adobe Camera Raw.

Is there anyone out there with a way I could set ACR to automate the creation of those deliciously tweak-able .DNG files? I couldn't have any extra shots in the folder or else the automation would get thrown out of whack. Something that starts with the first file, and clumps everything into the 3 shot HDR merges, and gives me all the .DNGs and the .XMP files so I can go through and fine-tune. Also open to other software.

Hi,
Join the Real Estate Photography group on Facebook. Very informative and might give you new editing techniques besides HDR. Good community & very helpful folks on there.
