Christian, Thank you for your wonderful presentation! 
I just didn’t catch about “shadows and blacks”. At 0:56, shadows +76, blacks +67. After merging to the new picture at 4: 49, shadows -55, blacks +20, at 7:01 blacks +42, also plus a strong contrast +65. The photo is similar to being shot in the early morning when there is still a water mist from the ground while the Sun rises.

Thanks

I think you need to use a better example. This photo does not look particularly good when you finished.

🚨 Great demonstration.
I think show de ghosting overlay is self-explanatory but what about create stack?

Problem is that at export, it just ducks up the image if you export to jpeg

Amazing tutorial as always, Christian. I have a question. Can you use bracketed seascape photos to blend HDR like static landscape shots? If yes how to deal with the different moving waves. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded your files, created the HDR image, and then edited the HDR and the base (0EV) image. While it's technically true that the HDR image has slightly less blown-out highlights, once I edited both files, I was unable to see any real difference in the results, even in the shadows. I suspect that this is for two reasons: first, your back-lit image may not take advantage of HDR and second, your camera (A7III?) has huge dynamic range to begin with. I've been getting the same results with my A7RV, but this gave me a chance to try this with someone else's images, so it was very helpful. Thanks.

So it's just bracketing? I thought the tutorial was going to be about a single RAW file.
