How To Process HDR Images In Lightroom CC
Simple Steps To Make Great HDR Images
In the past, I wasn’t a big fan of HDR because a lot of the time the images looked “over-cooked.” However, as a wedding photographer, I often find myself in high contrast scenes where it’s difficult to capture all the detail both in the shade and highlights.
First, I select the images I want to use for my HDR, by going to the photo tab in the menu bar, and then photo merge, and click HDR. What’s amazing about Lightroom is that it auto aligns the HDR image, adjusts the tones, and also has a deghosting option.
The best thing about making HDR images in Lightroom CC is that the HDR produced will be a digital negative, or a raw file, which allows me to play with the data from the image and achieve that exact look I’m going for.
