Creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images
You can create images with a wide dynamic range where clipping in
highlights and shadows has been reduced, and images that appear like
paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-lifes and landscapes.
This function is most effective when using three images with different
exposures of the same scene (negative exposure, standard exposure,
positive exposure) to create an HDR image. However, you can also
create an HDR image from two images, or even only one.
Since an HDR image is saved as a separate image, the original images
remain as they are.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
This function can be used with all image types

DPP. However, images with more than 6666 × 4444 pixels are not
supported.
Image information is not appended to an HDR image.
