Oops, I guess I should have read the whole thread before replying. I
could have saved myself a bunch of typing.

But the issue with using software to do the over/under expose of the
image you loose the on site expanded dynamic range. Newer cameras can
have some crazy dynamic range, but if you have an older camera or one
that just doesn't have it Multiple exposures is about the only way to
really get the data you need. and ideally you are doing this to expand
you baseline, and extremes parts of the exposure.
Doing this in software from the same image, even is you do have a raw
image to work with you are still imited to +/- 5-7Ev in most cases. I
think sony can push as far as 11 to 14 but i would need to check my
sources.
With set of images for HDR you move your EV to + and - 3-5 that then
gives you a huge dynamic range to get details out of the brights and
shadows.

I was wondering... would using software to over/under expose an
image be the same as taking 3 images which have been physically
altered? Less wear and tear on the camera is good!
Also, I was watching a tutorial on luminance hdr and in his
version the software had a bunch of variation of an hdr which
could be modified. My version doesn't seem to have that. Is there
a setting?

Use LuminanceHDR for exposure blending. GIMP is waaaaaay too
much work to get just one way to blending the images.
Luminance on the other hard offers a tons of different methods
and then you can tweak the settings within each method. It's
all very easy and gives you much better results.

thank you so much man. I really appreciate it. I
certaainly will devote
10% of my available brain to these videos tomorrow. Do
you know of any
videos or text teaching how to do exposure blending with
gimp2.8? all
the tuts I've been finding are incomplete or are how to
do it with 2.2!

There's a ton of ways to do what you want. The
biggest thing you
will have to worry about is lighting. For instance, if
you are
putting something that was lit from the left into a
scene that was
lit from the right, then there is little you can do.
No matter how
carefully you add it to your scene your brain will
always tell you
there is something wrong with the picture.
I tend to use a couple of different techniques to put
one image into
another.
If the background is a relatively solid color, I'll
use a technique
similar to this example for cutting out images while
preserving fine
details (hair in this example)... hint, you don't use
ANY of the
selection tools, or copy and past.

The other way I like combine image is brushing out the
background
using layer masks as demonstrated in this video with
the leg:

I usually use a combination of the 2 techniques since
you rarely get
perfect results with either method.
All these methods ultimately use layer masks, which is
a much better
way to combine photos than cutting and pasting since
you can tweak
what is transparent or not back and both without
having to commit to
a certain part of an image like you do with cutting
and pasting.

I found a way to super impose an image but it
looks tacky.
The method I learned was to open both files and
then to select the
image you want to put on the other with fuzzytool.
I found that
didn't work so I used the path tool. Well I cut
the image out but
the paste doesn't look good. It is out of scale.
For the purposes
I need WHat ithe best way to cut a house out and
put it on a blue sky?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
