Why? Because HDR photography is all about manipulating highlights and shadows, and even your lowest ISO images will have some noise deep in their shadows.
Keep in mind that this step is still necessary even if you’re shooting at your base ISO and are used to getting very “clean” images. In Lightroom 4, the Noise Reduction settings are under the Detail Panel, which you can expand and collapse by pressing “Ctrl + 5.” For this image, we are going to set the Noise Reduction to 20. (Remember that when you shoot in full RAW format, you are bound to get more noise than when you shoot in medium RAW or JPG.) Zoom into the darker areas of the photo to see if you need a little bit of noise reduction. Next, double check for noise by zooming into the image. The Auto White Balance in Lightroom 4 can often do a really good job, especially for outdoor shots in the daytime, but be sure to sync your WB across all three images if you try to use this option. Use Tint and Temperature in tandem (say that ten times fast!) to get all three exposures in the right place. So, bring up the brightest (or median) exposure and check the overall colors. One of the main things that you want to get as perfect as possible BEFORE creating an HDR is your white balance, because slight errors in tint or temperature are much more difficult to correct in JPG, TIF, and PSD images compared to a RAW image. You should start with them at Adobe’s original default values, and be sure to double check that all three images are totally reset, not just one of the images, otherwise your HDR will turn out weird. To prepare photos for HDR processing, we need to first prepare the 3 RAW files.

In addition, we will go over how to export these 3 RAW exposures into Photomatix for HDR processing.
In this article, we will discuss how to prepare the 3 RAW exposures that create this final HDR image. In our article “ Horseshoe Bend: How It Was Shot,” we explained how we got this shot of Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona.
