One solution for this is taking several photos at different exposures and compositing them together to make one, evenly exposed photo. In certain lighting scenarios, usually during sunrise or sunset or shooting directly into the sun, no matter what your camera settings are, it is impossible to avoid having blown out highlights or completely black shadows. The dynamic range is the difference between the lightest highlight and the darkest shadow in a photo. It seems to me the first step to effective photostacking is the same as with HDR and panorama: high quality finished masters to merge.Shooting HDR Photos with a Drone & Quickly Editing Images What is HDR? Why would I need to use it? There’s probably some very nice dedicated tools for that kind of work. I’m not sure about focus stacking as I haven’t been doing it. HDR and panorama can easily be created in other tools from masters made in PhotoLab. I’d rather DxO continued to focus on their main business of providing a high quality RAW development tool with good colour tools.

Easyhdr and lightroom full#

There’s an example full resolution photo with windmills on this old post of mine. I compared many tools, including Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Aurora HDR and Nik HDR to discover that easyHDR does the best job with deghosting. Like in Lighroom :ĮasyHDR3 costs about $30 and will do exactly what you want with the PhotoLab exports, in a very naturalistic way, very quickly and without much fuss or muss. My need like many photographer is very, very simple and essential. I don’t want DXO waste time in developping HDR artistic functions like HDR after effect does : It’s fun and you can get nice images out of it:įor me, the main interest in HDR is the dynamic range I can’t get sometimes in photography. I do play with Focusstacking in 4K in camera and Focus Bracketing and use Combine ZP to merge it to one image. (or on purpose not)Ĭon’s: lining-up is a troublesome matter, halo’s and artifacts are 99% in endresult if you look close enough, lot of (extra) work on shootingplace and afterwards.(not to mention filling up your storage space faster… ) Pro’s: Artistic value, wider range then the technical range of your camera and no bleeching or washed out whites and shadows by PP, fun playing with and if you not pixelpeep very good realistic endresults. HDR, same as Focus bracketing does has its pro’s and con’s.

Easyhdr and lightroom software#

(maybe after hitting buying button.) Do you know what the cost is?Īnd second, just out of interest how much is a 3(or more)stages HDR bracket still needed in the now availbe rawfile DR and software as SmartLighting? ((i can see the need when you want a scene in a churche with a sunbading window and dark interior for instance) But in most circumstances the software can overcome in PP alot of DR shortness.

I have looked at your link and didn’t see a purchesprice. I’d suggest exporting properly adjusted base images from DxO Photo Lab and using EasyHDR Perhaps this info on file efficiency will help with the rewrite of HDR EFX as a module for Photo Lab. I don’t see any point in redoing a merge though - I’m going to keep working on the merge until I get it right and after that I only want to be able to work with colours. exr original with no issues, making it available for full HDR editing again, although with no opportunity to redo the merge (the originals are not stored alongside). I assume it’s because EasyHDR has thrown away the parts which aren’t actually used in the master file. Affinity Photo’s master file was 680 MB while Photoshop CS6 PSD was 528 MB. Very slow to open in almost any application including Preview. The HDR EFX master TIFF came out at a huge 2.11 GB. Two of the issues which bothered me about the Nik HDR EFX conversion were speed and the size of the master files. Lots of potential there for a serious HDR add-on (like ViewPoint) for DxO Photo Plus.

Easyhdr and lightroom update#

Results were not as good as EasyHDR for now - Nik hasn’t had a serious update in over 5 years.

Easyhdr and lightroom pro#

John, I did try Nik HDR Efex Pro (old free version which in my case was not free - I paid Google something like €100 before Google made it free).

Easyhdr and lightroom upgrade#

Unlike Skylum’s software, EasyHDR features are usually added to the application without a major version upgrade (think DxO FilmPack 5 type schedule) and the price is reasonable particularly for non-commercial use (applies to most of us on our HDR photos).
