I’ve got 4.0.
I’ve seen some HDR photos and am very interested in trying it out. Is it possible to merge the photos in Elements 6.0?
I can’t afford the full program.
Thanks,
Oldman
You should be able to merge photos in the version that you have. Learn about "Layers" and making "Selections". Making a "selection" is what is necessary
to designate the part of a photo that you want to work on. A "layer" is the electronic equivalent of a piece of clear plastic that you can put on top of your photo so you can place and position another photo, piece of a photo, or some adjustments that change the appearance of the image. You can make alterations to the image on each layer separately without affecting the underlying photo. You can create many layers. What you see and print is the view looking down through all of the layers to the original photo. You can save this layered image for further adjustments and modifications and then flatten all the layers down into a single layered photo to reduce it’s size (bytes) and save it as a permanent image for e-mail, publishing,etc. It’s a good idea to keep a copy of the fully layered version in case you ever want to go back and make more changes to it because once you flatten it you will no longer have the ability. My largest project so far involved 214 layers (I use Photoshop, but it’s possible with Elements).
