What if you reduce the contrast and increase saturation? Will you get the same results as the edited shot? Let’s see a 100% crop of the two images:Īs you can see, the HDR shot (bottom) is cleaner and more detailed. You could say you need to brighten up the shadows in the single exposure. Not to mention the colors are more vibrant and saturated. But the HDR image presents a little less contrast. Next, let’s create an HDR version by combining three exposures taken at -2 EV, 0 EV, and +2 EV.Īfter editing them with the same settings in Lightroom, let’s compare them in the image below. Let’s consider a single exposure and say this exposure has value 0 EV. At least if you want some good image quality. You should be able to capture the whole 5 EV dynamic range, right? Modern sensors can cope with 12-stops dynamic ranges or more. Other cameras even have a dedicated HDR feature that let you freely adjust settings.
Your camera allows you to capture three images in this manner. +3 and -3 is a regular choice.įor three images, the values should be 0, +3, and -3.
#Hdr projects elements 3 plus
These images show as a plus or minus on the Exposure Value Meter. You can take many images, as long as the number is divisible by 3 (excluding your mid-range exposure). Meanwhile, the second meters for the highlights, and third for the shadows. The first one is to capture a mid-range exposure shot. In most cases, this process needs at least three images. When merged, the picture provides an overall correct exposure. The method involves taking many pictures and then stitch them together.Įach image captures the scene at different exposures. High Dynamic Range photography is the method of merging images to create a final photo.
