Step Seven:
You can adjust the Coarse contrast setting from -100 to 100. For the composite image in this tutorial, enter a value of 40. The coarse contrast value determines the overall contrast setting.
Adjust tonal output by dragging the triangle handles under Histogram clipping. Histogram clipping provides a graph of the tonal information of the composition. The pink areas at both ends of the histogram show cropped color information. These areas represent colors that cannot be shown on screen. Drag the triangle handles until you achieve the following values: 29 for shadow, -51 for midtone, and -28 for highlight.
Details allow you to make individual Highlight, Midtone, or Shadow adjustments to bring out finer details in the highlight, midtone, or shadow areas in the image. Enter a tone mapping of –20 for Highlight, -26 for Midtone, and 80 for Shadow.

Click Save HDR Image to save the HDR image for future use. This opens the Save As dialog box which allows you to save the image with an HDR extension. Enter a File name then click Save. When you need to access saved HDR files in the future, click Open HDR Image.

Click the HDR Operations tab to access more editing tools for rotating, resizing, and cropping your composition.
Click 
in the Crop panel, draw a crop selection, then click Apply. A dialog box opens asking if you want to continue, click OK.
