  5. Next, go to Layer > New > Layer.
  6. In the New Layer dialogue box, name your layer "HDR Background" and click on the "OK" button.
  7. Now, go to File > Open and select the three images you want to use for your HDR image. Click on the "Open" button.
  8. Once your images are open, go to Window > Layers to bring up the Layers palette.
  9. Click on the first image in the Layers palette and press CTRL + A (PC) / CMD + A (Mac) to select all of the contents of that layer. Then, press CTRL + C (PC) / CMD + C (Mac) to copy those contents.
