HDR

The HDR tool allows you to merge multiple exposures of the exact same scene into a single, beautifully balanced image. It extends the dynamic range of your photo, revealing details in both the darkest shadows and the brightest highlights that a single shot couldn't capture.

How to Use:

• In your Luminar Space, tap the selection circles on the thumbnails to choose the bracketed photos you want to merge

• Tap the More (three dots) option at the bottom right of the screen

• 3. Select HDR from the pop-up menu

• 4. A preview screen will appear, displaying your selected photos. Tap the yellow Merge photos button at the bottom.

• 5. Luminar will process the images. Once finished, the newly merged photo will appear in your Luminar Space with an HDR badge in the corner.

When to Use: Ideal for high-contrast scenes such as vibrant sunsets, landscapes with bright skies and dark foregrounds, or interior shots with bright windows.

Tips:

• For the best results, use photos taken from the exact same position (using a tripod or keeping your hands steady) with different exposure settings (e.g., one dark, one normal, one bright).

• Ensure the selected photos are of the same subject. Blending completely different images will not produce a successful HDR result.
