Photography Asked by tpll_ on January 8, 2021
as some of you might know, using the HDR mode with a canon camera results in three exposure bracketed RAW files after which the camera unavoidably creates a merged JPG on scene as well.
To be fair, the JPGs do look quite nice, however naturally lack the resolution of the RAW files.
My question is thus, how can I recreate the HDR from the RAW files I have actually taken. I’m planning to print the image quite large, so using the JPG is not an option.
Is there any way Photoshop (or even Lightroom) is able to recreate the JPG from the three RAW files?
I would also be open to any other software tools, as long as they bring me considerably close to the result. I have already gone the manual way of merging the three RAWs, and doing some editing, but the result is rather mediocre.
Thanks so much for you help!
One approach is to import the photos to Lightroom, select the ones you want to combine, and Photo->Edit in->Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop. You can edit it in Photoshop or save it and go back to Lightroom. Whether that recreates the JPEG that you got from the camera or not depends on the settings you use in Photoshop and Lightroom.

The easiest way to simulate Canon's in-camera JPEG and HDR engines is to use Canon's Digital Photo Professional software to process the raw files. It's included on the disc in the box with every Canon EOS camera. You can download the most recent version from the support section of your world region's Canon website. All updates are free. For some, you need to enter a valid serial number from a Canon camera model compatible with the particular version of DPP.
If left at the default settings, it will apply the same settings as were applied in-camera when you open a raw file. You can then use the HDR tool from within DPP to designate the other frames you want to include, as well as select various options that are similar to the in-camera options for the in-camera HDR mode. You also have more control over the result by being able to adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, detail enhancement, smoothing, and fine detail in the HDR module.
