Developing Your Images
Despite camera and mobile phone camera
technology advancing at such a rapid
pace, Lightroom has kept up with the latest
techniques to help you get the most from your
images. The example we have on these pages
uses HDR, a term you’ll see on nearly every
modern device that can take a photo.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) merging is a relatively new technique that has become very
popular, to the point that it is often over-used. It works by merging several nearly identical
photos, taken at different exposure settings, into one image with expanded dynamic
range. Many cameras, including some mobile phone cameras, can produce HDR images
in-camera, but you will get better results merging specially shot images in Lightroom. You
can find HDR merging in the Photo menu, under Photo Merge > HDR.BEFOREAFTER76
