Technique to layer multiple exposures of an image

Hi everyone, I hope this is an appropriate forum.

I have heard about a technique where multiple exposures are taken of a
scene, at different shutter speeds and apertures, and then layered into
one image using photoshop. This would be to get earth and sky in a
landscape with good contrast throughout, for example.

I'm searching the knowledge to handle the software side of this
technique, and explanation or a photoshop/paintshop tutorial, or even if
there is a specific name to search for that would help me find and
answer more easily.

Thanks,

Adam

In CS2 it's called HDR (High Dynamic Range). If you don't have CS2, then
consider HDRshop; it is a standalone, free program has been available from
Stanford U for many years. If you have trouble finding it, come on back
