Question

HDR with only one RAW image.

I was wondering if there is a way to create bracketed images using only one RAW image in photoshop (like what you are able to achieve with Photomatix)

 

At the moment i have been using AEB and its been brilliant with the HDR merge feature in photoshop, but the camera i am using now does not have AEB.

 

Thanks in advance,

Mason.

A single raw image- is what it is!  ie. It contains only the tones (shadows and highlights) that the camera sensor dynamic range can record in one image.

The best you can do is to make adjustments in ACR to enhance shadows and highlights that do exist in the one raw file. (More than would be in a JPG).
