 You must learn layers, Grasshopper.

Hello Eric, Are you doing HDR imaging or wanting to know about bracket exposure settings ? I can help with HDR but for the Nikon camera, you should check your manual about auto bracketing... For HDR I use PhotoMatix by HDRSoft.com as it works better than photoshop and on average I under expose with 2 shots, expose and over expose with 2 shots - like: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 - this gives me 5 exposures to use to create an HDR image and is usually enough to capture a dynamic range that will show more details in dark areas as well as keeping more color/detail in overblown highlight areas. http://www.hdrsoft.com/download.html Hope this helps,

Thanks Carlton My intent is getting HDR images and I will check out the program you recommend but what is the difference between bracketing and HDR image. I will study up on this. The learning never stops

Image overlay, nikon D90 will do this, in the camera. One image is out of focus the other is in focus. I do not know if you mean this or the HDR.

I use the D300. Not sure if the D90 menu has similar options, but I can shoot up to 9 images on a "single frame" in camera. Wonderful for abstracts and impressions

To make an HDR photo, you should have at least 3 images: one under exposed, one exposed correctly, and one over exposed. Your camera should have a setting that permits you to press the shutter button and get the 3 or more images almost simultaneously. The number depends on your camera. I get 3, many get more, one poster said he gets 9. But check your manual. Then you need a software that puts these images on top of each other, so to speak, and makes one image that is taking the best from each of the exposures. There are various software programs, Photomatix has been mentioned, I use Noise Ninja. There are others, and a even one or two fairly good free programs. What comes out of the software, after it processes the multiple exposures, is what we call an HDR image.

Eric, if you shoot in RAW, you can take the single RAW image and save it off in different exposure settings; e.g., -1, 0, and +1. You're not limited to three...it can be two, or four, or whatever. Just give them a separate file name, then use HDR (I also use Photomatix) to combine those three. So two options...bracket in the camera and ideally use a tripod to keep the camera steady, or (2) create multiple exposures from the same parent RAW file.
