processing a few files into one


Recommended Posts

Is there a way in Lightroom to process a set of files containg the same object that was shot at different speed or different focus into one picture? Say in a simple case shooting an object against bright background splits image into two zones where each zone requires its own shutter speed. Combining #1 underexposed object+normally exposed background with #2 normally exposed object+overexposed backgroung would bring the harmony into one picture. I recall that back in my days of shooting with Nikon D-80 there was an option when one shot resulted in threee files and there was a third party sotfware to stitch those three together into one.
Any suggestions to do the same in M / Lightroom world?

It's called Exposure Bracketing and can be done with your M, have a look in the menu. I don't know about Ligthroom because I never use it, but it is a piece of cake in Photoshop, just load the files and the software does the rest.

I often do this, I shoot multiple frames at different exposures in order to use different exposures for different part of the image. You can't do it in LR, you need to export the files as layers in PS, manually select the various parts of the image (preferably with the pen tool) and use masks.
