Why is AutoHDR treating my drone shots as bracket sets and blending them?

AutoHDR groups photos using vision-based similarity rather than timestamps. If you have multiple drone shots of the same property from similar angles, the AI may group them as a bracket set and blend them — even when they aren't actually brackets.

Fix the current shoot

Upload the drone shots as a separate shoot from the interiors. Then within that drone shoot, if specific shots are still being grouped together, upload them one at a time as individual shoots so they don't get merged.

Going forward

Shoot drone images from clearly distinct angles (different positions, different elevations, different framing) — that gives the AI enough difference to recognize them as separate scenes.

Intentional aerial brackets

If you intentionally want a 3-bracket aerial blend, that's also supported — shoot 3 brackets of the same angle and upload them together.
