Particularly as I am usually happy with the results I get from combining dual Raw conversions.

However, I have seen some excellent true HDR adjustment which looks like a 'real photograph' but with an extended range.įull natural looking HDR is something which I keep meaning to experiment with in greater detail with the CS5 software but I never seem to have much desire to photograph that sort of scene. Personally, I don't like much of the true HDR results which simply look over processed for me. Which method or software is best for you will probably depend on what you want to create. But, so far, I haven't experimented with this myself. I find this can produce good results, but it isn't true HDR.ĬS5 will also allow you to do another fake HDR effect which is available under Image Menu - Adjustments - HDR Toning.
It is an effect which I often use, particularly when working with action shots which aren't really suitable for bracketed shots. Scott, when creating an HDR sort of effect from a Raw image are you converting the first image as a Smart Object then copying that and returning to the Raw Studio for a second set of adjustments? Then combining the two layers. I'm not suggesting its a great example, there's lots of much better stuff out there but it is an example of what photomatix can do and should be achievable by anyone with a little effort. Done with Photomatix, took about 10 minutes to PP. have attached a pic which won one of the mini comps here a few weeks back.

You can download a trial version which has a watermark but otherwise it works perfectly well.
This gives a more subdued result which doesn't have the hyper-real feel of HDR but it still has the advantage of expanding the range of the pic. The other good thing about photomatix is the ability to simply fuse the exposures without tone mapping. HDR is a technique and not an end in itself. The secret of good HDR is to use it to enhance what you would not have been able to get with conventional methods. I do a lot of HDR shots and have thus far found that photomatix works very well as long you avoid the temptation to overdo. You can alter the exposures in PP and generate a pseudoHDR which can be effective but it cannot reproduce the dynamic range that bracketed exposures can.
