# Do I need to merge my brackets before sending?

Yes. NovaHDR does not merge brackets or accept bracket sets, so merge your exposures in your usual software and send one finished image per view. NovaHDR finishes the set from there.

Merging does not always finish the property: room-to-room color, uneven brightness and the final check can still remain. That is the part NovaHDR takes on.

One property covers the exported set of up to 50 photos.
