Auto Process HDR Brackets

 

If you regularly shoot multiple exposures for merging into a single high-dynamicrange (HDR) file, try this when viewing a folder full of bracketed exposures: In Bridge, choose Tools>Photoshop>Process Collections in Photoshop. This will cause Bridge to analyze the metadata for all the images and if it finds that the images were shot as a rapid sequence with only the exposure changed between shots, it will send each set of images through the Merge to HDR feature and save the resulting 32-bit HDR image in Radiance format. That way you can have Bridge merge your images while you sleep and you can tone-map the images using Photoshop or Photomatix at a later date.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
