turn on the Edge Smoothness checkbox and maybe raise the Detail slider to around 90 (as
seen in the next step). Unfortunately for this shot, you can't keep tourists from moving
(well, not without duct tape) and, if you look to the left side, you can see lots of ghosting
of people, especially on the guy in the yellow hoodie. You can see what looks like multiple
semi-transparent versions of him in the foreground (which is why it's called ghosting).

Step Two:
Luckily, fixing this is pretty darn easy: turn on the Remove Ghosts checkbox at the top
right of the dialog (shown circled here in red). HDR Pro tries to deal with the ghosting by
looking for things that are common to all your exposures to lock onto, and it does a pretty
amazing job of it most of the time. If you look at the bottom of the screen you'll see thumb-
nails of the images that made up your single HDR image, and you'll see a green highlight
around one of them. That's the photo it chose as the basis for its ghost removal. It's much
improved, right? But it's not perfect (note the blurring in his leg).
