Recapture the detail

Shoot and combine images to capture more highlight and shadow detail in your landscapes.

We’ve used a simple method of shooting two images, then combining them in Elements 12 to retain detail in this landscape. You could achieve similar results by processing a single RAW image, but when the contrast between the sky and foreground is high there’s a danger of much more noise in the shadow areas and also artefacts in the highlights from trying to recover detail when using this method.
