latazyo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 when you do a single image HDR, how many images do you break it in to? 3, 5, 7, 9, as many as possible??? Link to comment
jeremai Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I usually do three (-1.5, 0, 1.5), sometimes five; more than that and the the dynamic range of the original image is usually so comparatively small that at the extremes it's often close to solidly black or white. Link to comment
dshnarw Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 when you do a single image HDR, how many images do you break it in to? 3, 5, 7, 9, as many as possible??? 3 or 5 with EV compensation of +/- 2 between each step. More than that and even at iso80 or 100 the final image gets too noisy. Even then I sometimes run them through Noise Ninja before Photomatix. Link to comment
jeremai Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Really, like -4, -2, 0, 2, 4? I usually do three (-1.5, 0, 1.5) or five (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2). But then we're generally going for different looks, arent we? Link to comment

But then we're generally going for different looks, arent we? yup...i've only done -4, -2, 0 , 2, 4 on a couple of single image HDRs, one being: ^^after that and the B&W version, Lightroom is my hero Trees needed -3.5 before you could even tell they were there. Mostly it's just -2, 0, 2, ie: and but yeah, everyone's process is different depending on their style, and every photo needs different treatment anyway. Link to comment

latazyo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I can't PP the images first, right? only exposure changes or they won't merge correctly, is that right? I'll be using photomatix if that matters Link to comment
dshnarw Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 little less enthused about that one it seems... I can't PP the images first, right? only exposure changes or they won't merge correctly, is that right? I'll be using photomatix if that matters I've never tried pp first, other than what i can do in the raw software - contrast, sat, wb, etc. - but I expect it would mess with the final image from Photomatix.
