Presentation Transcript

  1. Non PS Tools • Photomatix http://www.hdrsoft.com/ • FDRTools http://www.fdrtools.com/front_e.php • Picturenaut http://www.hdrlabs.com/picturenaut/index.html

  2. Photomatix

  3. ‘HDR’ ‘Generate’

  4. Basic settings.

  5. This is an HDR image displayed on a LDR device

  6. ‘HDR’ ‘Tone Mapping’ Maps the HDR image to a low dynamic range space.

  7. Details Enhancer is the best starting point. Better adjusted in PS Some fine tuning possible but defaults are usually ok

  8. Sample with Tone Compressor

  9. ‘Save as’

  10. In PS

  11. Final is PS

  12. Using PS Local Adaptation HDR.

  13. PS LA HDR version.

  14. FDRTools http://www.fdrtools.com/front_e.php

  15. Note: HDR is technically not required for this series – there is no clipping at either end.

  16. Click ‘Images’ and select the images to combine

  17. Click ‘Align’

  18. Click ‘HDRI Creation’ then ‘Creative’ – defaults are usually ok.

  19. Click ‘Tone Mapping’ Adjust sliders, other defaults are OK.

  20. Click ‘Save’

  21. Image in PS Magenta lines are “trial version” Adjustment layers are off

  22. PS adj layers on, final version.

  23. Picturenaut: Freeware! ‘File’ ‘Generate HDRI’ ‘Add’

  24. For this series the ‘Automatic image alignment’ didn’t work, so I used PS to align the images then exported the layers separately. Unfortunately this loses the EXIF, which Picturenaut (and PS HDR) needs to generate the HDR. As shown, with the same time, this will not process.

  25. Using the exif information from Bridge I manually entered the time

  26. Here’s the HDR image.

  27. ‘Image’ ‘Tone Mapping’ ‘Photoreceptor’ gives the best results

  28. Tweak the exposure, dynamic compression and histogram. In this case based on the preview I did not adjust the white point. ‘File’ ‘Save as’ then open in PS.

  29. In PS

  30. Using Shadow/Highlights to recover highlight detail. Notice how the histogram previews the change. This is a good example of why you can’t just pull the white point all the way to the right.

  31. Final version. Note the motion issue was dealt with automatically.
