Super helpful, thanks so much for this. Great to know that the HDR dng has a much deeper capability for editing in those blown out areas or dark shadows. I'd often done the HDR merge only to see that the result looked like my base image, and I figured I just wasn't doing something correctly. Using this info today.

I'm back, Christopher. This video was just what I needed in my development right now. I'll be looking for exposure blending in PS for those more complex images.

Great video Christopher. Like others I’ve tended to steer clear of the HDR blending after seeing earlier examples of over saturated images, but your video makes perfect sense to me and I’ll give it a try from now on. Cheers mate 👍

For moving objects just use one image that is balanced well on the histogram and seperate to 3. One for dark, base and for light as an example and them merge them together. It works.

Create virtual copies in lightroom for one image HDR.

Single image blends with virtual copies are redundant in Lightroom for the purpose of exposure blending. You're still limited to the raw data from that one raw file...in that case, just use your local adjustment tools. The point of exposure blending here is for those situations where the single raw file did NOT capture the full range of values. With advanced sensors today, that's not a real issue anymore unless you're photographing an incredibly wide dynamic range. The real issue is the QUALITY difference of your colors and texture between expanding a single raw file in LR vs. blending multiple frames actually captured in the field. I talk about this at 5:50 . So for those situations....where you need an authentic exposure blend with multiple frames...AND you have moving subjects that Lr can not handle....you'll need to move over to Ps and address that ghosting manually with masks.
