Simulating HDR exposures in Camera Raw

One of the most common questions I get about HDR Pro is, can you fool it? …In other words, instead of actually shooting authentic multiple exposures, …can you fabricate exposure inside, say, camera raw. …And then convince HDR Pro to use them, and the answer is yes. …So, for example, I shot this photograph in Ireland at Giant's Causeway, and I had …only had the camera about a week so I didn't know how to use the bracketing …feature yet, and even if I had.

So, what I've decided to do was fabricate …a series of exposures, starting with very bright, and then moving on through these …darker exposures here. And then, I stitched them all together …using HDR Pro. In order to create this more dynamic …version of the photograph, and here's how it works.…

I'll go up to the file menu and chose Browse in Bridge, in order to switch to …Bridge which is trained on the contents of the Giants Causeway, and you can see …that I have a total of 5 variations on the D and G file. …
