48 Better Available Light Digital Photography
Building an HDR image is easy: start by shooting a series of bracketed RAW fi les. Photoshop’s Merge to
HDR command (File > Automate > Merge to HDR) lets you choose the two or more image fi les that will
form the basis of the fi nished HDR image.
Photoshop’s HDR interface shows the component images that go to form the HDR images. You need a
minimum of two so you can load more and choose an optimum combination of images to produce the results
you want. As you can see, the few other controls are simple. The interface in both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and
CS3 is identical. © 2007 Joe Farace.
