Does Photoshop Elements Have HDR?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:39 pm

I was recently asked by a friend if Photoshop Elements has HDR (High Dynamic Range) capabilities. I wasn’t sure, but I did some research and found out that it does not have a built-in HDR feature.

However, there are some workarounds that allow you to create HDR images using Photoshop Elements.

HDR photography is a technique that allows you to capture more detail in both the shadows and highlights of an image. This is done by taking multiple exposures of the same scene and then combining them into one image. The different exposures are combined using software, such as Photoshop, to create an HDR image.

PRO TIP: When using Photoshop Elements, be aware that HDR may not be available as an option. HDR is a high-dynamic range imaging technique that can produce images with a greater range of tonal values than what is possible with standard imaging techniques. If you are interested in using HDR, you may need to purchase a separate HDR software application.

Photoshop Elements does not have a built-in HDR feature, but there are some workarounds that allow you to create HDR images using the software. One workaround is to use the Photomerge tool.

This tool allows you to combine multiple images into one. To use this workaround, you will need to take multiple exposures of the same scene and then merge them together using the Photomerge tool.

Another workaround is to use third-party HDR software. There are a few different software programs available that will allow you to create HDR images.

One popular program is called Aurora HDR. This software is designed specifically for creating HDR images and is very easy to use. Another popular program is called Photomatix Pro.

So, does Photoshop Elements have HDR? While it does not have a built-in HDR feature, there are workarounds that allow you to create HDR images using the software. You can either use the Photomerge tool or third-party HDR software to create your own HDR images.
