I shot a bracketed sequence of the hotel façade but the sky is blown in two frames and the shadow areas are noisy; the welcome board proofs are due tomorrow. I can local-merge exposures or try a merge-to-HDR routine, but I'm not sure which will retain highlight texture without an HDR ghost issue. Tell me the fastest blend sequence that preserves sky detail and keeps shadows natural, and one thing to avoid that creates halos between exposures.
