| Adjust brightness/exposure bias until highlights look good
but not overexposed or burnt-out. You may need to fine-tune this
several times during the process, especially when playing with the Black
level.
Single shots with an excessively wide contrast range may benefit from
a composite layers technique where two files, one exposed with good shadow
detail, another with good highlight detail, are created then layered in
Photoshop with unacceptable areas erased to reveal the better portion to
create a more balanced final image. A Single Shot HDR control box
is included with Silkypix 5, eliminating the need for this
time-consuming method. I liked this feature during the free trial
but am waiting for the dollar-yen exchange rate to improve before
upgrading.
