I was wondering... would using software to over/under expose an image be
the same as taking 3 images which have been physically altered? Less wear
and tear on the camera is good!
Also, I was watching a tutorial on luminance hdr and in his version the
software had a bunch of variation of an hdr which could be modified. My
version doesn't seem to have that. Is there a setting?
