76 Applying Image Effects
To select and merge bracketed photos:
1. From the Startup Wizard, click HDR Photo Merge.
OR
Select HDR Merge from the File menu.
2. From the HDR Source Files dialog, click Add.
3. Browse to, then select multiple files from the chosen folder—use Ctrl-
click or Shift-click for selecting non-adjacent or adjacent images. Click
Open. The files listed show image name and an exposure value
equivalent to your camera's exposure setting (the values are not just
for show—they're crucial for successful HDR merging).
Click the Add button to add more photos or the Remove button to
exclude a selected photo.
For scanned images (from camera film) which won't possess EXIF-
derived Exposure values, you can click the Edit Exposure button to
add your own exposure values to entries if you've kept a record (or you
could just add +2.0, 0, and -2 then experiment with the results).
4. (Optional) Uncheck Align images if you're sure your source images are
perfectly aligned (perhaps by a third-party application). Otherwise,
PhotoPlus will automatically attempt to align each photo's corresponding
pixel data.
