I attended a workshop where we were told to bracket and have arrived home with triple photographs - I was away a month so we are talking over 5 000+ photos and am overwhelmed looking at three exposures of the same scene. Most of the time, I ignored the instructions to bracket, but when I didn't, I have way too many pics - we were told to merge them (jpeg format) so we could get a quick look to see if we had all the detail for both the bright and dark areas. I have deleted the jpegs as a start...(:
I have detail in the bright sun areas that are underexposed and I had wanted to keep that detail except it is missing in the other bracketed shots.
I know we can edit 'anything' but not sure which one is the better choice to keep and work from. Unfortunately, I can hardly stand to look at the folders that have these triple shots. My eyes are crossing.
I tried to search for bracketing on the site and did not find any comments but I do recall you saying something about bracketing not being needed?
I would like to clear out the shots that aren't necessary (if possible) and then start editing. I have included three of the bracketed shots.

Do I keep all of them or pick one to edit?
