If you like the HDR look but don't want the hassle or expense, then this is for you. Here we're going to create a great HDR effect from one underexposed RAW file. We're going to do our editing in Elements 6, but you can use Photoshop.

Don't forget to read the accompanying HDR feature in the July issue of Practical Photography which is out on 17th June. In this you'll also learn how to shoot for HDR and merge them in Photoshop.
