HDR

I'm new to this site. I've been reading the information about HDR and I was wondering if this is something I would use instead of the editing software on my mac or in addition to it.

You can do it either way, but I would any changes or edits in your editing software before doing in HDR.
That is just my opinion!

SO< what exactly is HDR in laymans terms pls.
High Dynamic Range:
3 or more exposures (i.e. : -1, 0, +1) combined to result in an image having the total dynamic range from shadows to highlights.
More of what the eye sees than what the camera can translate to just a single image.

Thank you! I think.
Perhaps you could Google HDR Images and see for yourself, at least the results. Most explanations do tend to be more complicated than I have stated.

Thank you for your response. I believe I will check out the free HDR sites.

Hey, WCOBon, where in ChesCo are you? I grew up in Exton. Went to Henderson - WC State - etc etc.
To answer your question, again - HDR is a type of post processing that E X P A N D S the dynamic range of a picture's colors and shadow/brighness areas, to more closely mimic what the eye sees. Many people also use HDR processing to "over saturate" an image and make it much MORE colorful than it was originally.
There are several ways to do it, but basically you take one or more images UNDERexposed, one image 'normal', and one or more image OVERexposed. Then your software merges them and you tinker with the pic until you like it.

Thanks for the great explanation. I was wondering if I could manage with just one photo, but it seems like three wold be the best.
I live in the same area of ChesCo. went to HS at Octoraro and as you can see by the hair, quite a long time ago.

For sure it would. And under the right light conditions, a single RAW (you might want to experiment). Noise can be introduced though, but then there's always noise reduction software . . . and so it goes.
