You don't need to tone map it to make a crazy over saturated cartoony photo, but you would need to combine the multiple exposures. Either your camera can do natural looking HDR's (ref your manual), or you do it later in post. | |
| Jun 12, 2013 at 23:09 | comment | added | j-g-faustus | @JørnE.Angeltveit No, you can't. The second exposure adds more light on top of the first exposure, so if either of the exposures blow out the highlights, the multiexposure will be even more blown out since it gets the light from the other exposure on top. A graduated ND is not a general replacement, but it works if your picture has one bright and one dark part and a more-or-less straight line separating them. Or you could use gelatin/plastic ND filters and cut them to the shape you need. IMO multiple shots and post processing is easier. | |

Clarification
|
| Jun 12, 2013 at 21:59 | comment | added | Jørn E. Angeltveit | @Mike. This wasn't a question about camera features. I was wondering if I could bring forth the "details" of the underexposed and overexposed parts of a scene with multi-exposure. What would you do with dias film? I still haven't got any answer to that question (and it's definitely not described in my cameras manual). After some thinking, I now believe it's impossible to solve that by multi-exposure. I've learned that GND might be used to "even out" the exposure-range. I probably made a big mistake by bringing in the "HDR" term... | |

| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:54 | comment | added | mattdm | Unless the camera has a feature to map the different exposures properly — that's what the in-camera HDR feature in the other cameras is. | |
| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:48 | comment | added | Jørn E. Angeltveit | Perhaps I should rephrase my question (or ask a new one). I'm just wondering if it is possible to combine 3 "shots" into a single picture by multiple-exposure - and get an overall "perfect" exposure by combining over- and under-exposed shots. ... ... After giving it a second thought, I think I understand that that's not possible. The overexposed shots would "burn out" the "perfect" areas of the previously taken underexposed shot... Right? | |
| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:32 | comment | added | mattdm | I think this answer to another question should help with that. It comes down to what exactly you mean by HDR (and that answer explains it well). | |
| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:29 | comment | added | Jørn E. Angeltveit | Perhaps that's my question. "Is HDR only a "processing"-thing, or could the same effect/problem be solved trough the actual exposing (aka film/dias capturing technique)". | |

| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:24 | comment | added | mattdm | Well, Nikon's active d-lighting is probably the closest you can get. But, basically, if your camera doesn't have the in-camera processing to do a certain thing... it doesn't have the in-camera ability to do that thing. | |
| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:19 | comment | added | Jørn E. Angeltveit | @mattdm, Hm. The other question doesn't really answer my question (I have a D90, btw, and not on the list). As far as I can tell, the other question is about having a built-in HDR post-processing tool. And the answers recommencement taking BKT-exposures and then use an external post-prosessing-software... I would like to get a similar effect during the actual exposure. | |
| Jun 9, 2013 at 19:12 | comment | added | Jørn E. Angeltveit | Ah. Thanks. Perhaps this one too: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/38689/… :-/ ? | |

Because introducing more jargon counter to the mission of explaining things?
