I use an older digital camera for landscape images. It delivers very nice image quality - at least I like how it renders images. The point is that I cant take any RAW images. So when I shoot a sunset I dont have any playroom in the files later on. Thats why I would like to take multiple exposures and blend them together. I merged the images to an HDR image using Lightroom but I dont like the result. When I drag the shadow slider to the right it introduces an fair amount of noise to my image.
I think I might need to use luminosity masks in photoshop to blend those images or something ...
What would be a way of blending those exposures to achieve an high quality output with a natural look?
