persephone Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think it has to be more defined than bracketing .... ..... and photoshop does it too :) (I have CS3) Take photos. Open all 3/4/5. go to "file". scroll down to 'automate'. click "merge to HDR "...then watch & wait..and do final adjusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 so you've got the 3 photos and down the bottom it says start HDR, click on it. then it chews away at the photos to do it's stuff, then comes up with the 3 pics merged and you can adjust manually or choose one of the presets. Oh how I can relate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 In a hurry again when I took this from the side of the road, no time to think about compostion and the cars where buzzing by. But it gives you an idea. This was a preset too. Untitled by kirislin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh Linda, least yours worked! Mine were fuzzy and several were just solid white... What the! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh Linda, least yours worked! Mine were fuzzy and several were just solid white... What the! if they were fuzzy it was probably because they weren't all aligned. there's a little box you can tick to get the aligned. Not sure about the solid white though, did you put 3 photos in?

Juddabug Whippets Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I took the bracketed photos of the storm brewing... But they all came out blank.... And I did hit the align button and nada! Brain has fried... Next time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumaAkita Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I tried to change the settings on my camera to HDR and got a "your camera can't do this with its current settings" message. Dunno, will have another play and maybe *gasp* get the manual out :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raineth Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 thanks for all the info in this thread. I downloaded the update yesterday afternoon and then snapped a couple of quick shots to try. It was quite fun :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/59546067@N05/7206253828/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Kuma, you may have to change your settings to jpeg not raw if you are trying to do in camera HDR, it can't do it with raw in camera. Kirislin, so did you do the grey pic in CS using one shot in HDR mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Kuma, you may have to change your settings to jpeg not raw if you are trying to do in camera HDR, it can't do it with raw in camera. Kirislin, so did you do the grey pic in CS using one shot in HDR mode? do you mean the very first pic I posted? If so, that was with 3 photos and I only use the programs that came with my camera, DPP and zoombrowser, but I updated DPP online. I think it's pretty good but not many people seem to use it. I cant afford to buy extra programs. It doesn't do layers or vignettes but I'm pretty happy with it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm talking about the odd eyed greyhound shot, where you said it does it with one picture. I only know HDR through photoshop, I don't use the in camera HDR because it only uses jpegs. So guess I'm confused about where you said one shot as HDR usually used 3 or 5, I was wondering what your program does with just one shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 aah, that's a whippet! It didn't occur to me that's what you meant. I thought you must have meant the landscapey pic that's quite muted in tones. I didn't do it in camera with that shot, I dont know if my camera has such a function, I doubt it. I've just been playing around going back through old pics I like and seeing if it does anything to them. The actual program has provision to put 3 pics of different exposures in, and I think that's what I'm supposed to do to do a true HDR but I was just experimenting to see if it would process just one photo, and it does.

Are You Serious Jo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Oops, thought it was a grey :laugh: I'll dig up a test shot and see what ps does with HDR with one shot, if it works it might be something really worth playing around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) this was done with the 3 images. I'm posting the mid range image that was used, there were 2 others but no point in posting them all.

Kirislin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I've trimmed off some sloppy cloning but I was reasonably happy with the made up cows head and leg that was hidden behind the fence post.
