EOS 5D Mark IV: Editing in-camera HDR images

[rusty007]

I've taken some test shots on my 5D MkIV using the in-camera HDR Mode function where it takes 3 images in succession then processes them into the one JPEG image. What I can't work out is how to edit these to take advantage of the HDR function. I'm assuming you could access the range of the three images to a greater degree than normal images. I can't find reference to editing them anywhere. Any pointers?

No problems - I should be asleep at this point, but finishing off something else before the holidays arrive, and a little break from the computer.

I'm not asking about editing the files in-camera. I thought that would be obvious. Canon Photo Professional may have an option, but as I said, I can't find mention of it for in-camera HDR assembled images.

I explained that in my reply. The jpg created by the HDR routine in the 5D IV is just another jpg, so it's done and ready to be viewed or opened in an editor.

You either take (copy or move from camera to computer) your "in-camera HDR assembled images" and edit them in an image editor like you would any other jpg, OR tell the camera to keep the originals that were used to create the HDR jpg in HDR mode so you can assemble and edit them in an image processor, OR use AEB and edit/compile them on a computer in image editing software.

Please note: If you use the AEB method or save the images used in the 5D IV's HDR mode, the editor will have to have an HDR feature to combine the images. DPP 4 will do this.
