Multiple exposures

[L66]

Help - I have done this once before but can't remember how. I took 3 photos inside my house looking outside. One had the light right for the bright sky, the other average and the 3rd with the light right for inside. I somehow merged them together to make one photo with the light right across the photo. Would love to know how.

That all depends on the images,what kind of blending is needed. If not a simple patch together. Do you have the first image you did or an example for us to see?

Yes I do I also have the original 3. It was a very simple process ( so simple I thought I would always remember........)

If that was three images taken with the same camera roughly the same time using the same lighting that must've been easy if not and for print then it could be tricky.

It's called HDR if i correctly understand your request. One photo underexposed one middle exposed and last overexposed. than blended together so all lights and shadows nicely visible(some DSLRs do it automatically)
if thats the case >File>Automate>Merge to HDR pro in your photoshop

did you use HDR you select 3,5 or 8 images as the common usage and blend using HDR It will take the highlights and shadows and blend them together to give it a wider tonal range

lol 7 hours later and 2 resposes in a few seconds

File-Automate-Merge to HDR Pro.

Thank you all so much. HDR - Perfect and worked like a treat. I will make notes and keep this time...... Yes I was amazed too by the two correct responses almost at the exact same time. Thanks again
