Matt,
Great video, thanks for making it. I do however have a couple of questions. In elements can we bring in another picture as a layer? If we can, how would this be done? Where I might want to do this is if I wanted to bring in the three exposures that I made the HDR from in the first place. Then create a mask. Seems like this could be used if our HDR picture had water in the closeup part. It might not be sharp because even still water is always moving a little.
Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex,
Check out Mike Rodriguez’s recent video, “Moving One Image onto Another Image”:

That will show you how to easily add three exposures into one file.
best,
Rick

Hi Matt. Thanks for the great info (as always!). Just wondering why you didn’t use the spot healing tool to remove the orange cone rather than adding something that wasn’t there. Thanks. :D

Great tutorial. HDR has a habit of enhancing noise. Which noise removal program do you recommend?

Fantastic. This just added another dimension to my photography and my PSE skills. Even an old fella like me can use some new tricks. Thanks Mat

Nice tutorial … I learned a few things that I wasn’t aware of …. thanks! for that.
I do have a question …. I have tried taking hdr (bracketed) shots at night and can’t seem to get it right……would you mind sharing what your camera settings were?
Thanks!

I’ve tried to download this video several times, but it won’t play once it is downloaded. Part 1 works fine, it’s just Part 2 that doesn’t download correctly.

I had given up on HDR. I think I will try it again. Thanks
