# Can NovaHDR work with single exposures?

Yes. NovaHDR works from single exposures as well as from merged bracket exports: send the best available image for each view and it finishes the set. A single frame has its limits.

A single image cannot hold every exposure a bracketed shoot might capture, and editing cannot recover detail that is absent from the file. A source with usable highlight and shadow detail gives the edit more to work with.

- [Do I need to merge my brackets before sending?](https://www.novahdr.com/faq/do-i-need-to-merge-brackets-first/): Yes. Merge in your own software and send one image per view.
- [Can NovaHDR fix blown-out windows?](https://www.novahdr.com/faq/can-novahdr-fix-blown-out-windows/): Only if the detail was captured; white windows cannot be recovered.
- [Can I send RAW or TIFF files to NovaHDR?](https://www.novahdr.com/faq/can-i-send-raw-or-tiff-files/): No. Export JPEG, PNG or WebP from your RAW editor first.
