Do you edit single images as well?
Yes — AutoHDR edits single images. To see out of windows or recover overexposed areas from one exposure, you'll get the best results from 3 brackets. But the AI can produce HDR-looking results from a single exposure too.
What single-image edits can do
The AI can produce results that look like high-dynamic-range photos even from a single input exposure.
What you lose without brackets
Without a dark bracket, the AI can't recover blown-out window views. Without a bright bracket, it can't recover pitch-black shadow detail. For the best results in those areas, 3 brackets is the recommendation.
