Back in the old days when Apple's Aperture was a pro-level photo editor I developed a technique to create an HDR photo. It started with a single image that I reduced the exposure by 50% and saved that file separately. I then did the same thing but this time doubling to exposure to 200% and saving that file. Then in a separate application (HDRist I think) I opened all three files to produce a fairly dramatic image.

I'm wondering if I could do something similar in Pixelmator Pro. Any suggestions?
