This is an excellent alternative where the camera does not have an HDR option (automatic shoots the pictures, making the exposure adjustment) and overcomes the needs for an add-in to perform the combination (using LR3/4 or CS5/6)

Hey Kelly,
Finally! A clear, step-by-step guide for bringing two images together and using the better part of each to produce a greatly improved third photo.
Your article has also solved another mystery for me: how to sandwich two unrelated images to create a double exposure. It’s a fun thing with endless surprises and artistic potential. I used to do it in-camera in “the olden days,” but had never quite figured it out in the brave new world of digital photography. Now I get it. Thanks to your article, this old dog has learned a new trick!

This is a good tutorial, however, the download image is from a different tutorial.
