Merging exposures and content
When you combine two or more photos, you can achieve some
impressive results. What can you do?
• Use HDR (high dynamic range) Exposure Merge to create a
perfectly exposed image.
• Seamlessly replace unwanted areas (cars, people, birds that flew
into your frame) with the correct background.
• Creatively combine elements from multiple photos into one
image.
If you have a DSLR camera, you likely have features that can help you
take multiple photos of the same scene.
This section presents the following topics:
• Understanding HDR
• Taking photos for HDR processing
• Combining photos by using HDR Exposure Merge
• Merging batches of photos into HDR images
• Combining photos with Photo Blend
Understanding HDR
In photography, HDR refers to high dynamic range. “Dynamic range”
is the range of luminance that can be captured in a photo, from the
darkest shadows to the brightest highlights.
