One approach is going to involve layer masks and the other is going to use layer blending modes. What we’re going to look at in this tutorial are a couple methods to work with tonemapped HDR images to give us a the final image we want. I wrote about HDR being a starting point in an earlier blog post, “The Great HDR Debate”. In addition to that, the HDR process can sometimes do funny things with colours that we don’t want. Why? Well, if we look at HDR as a way to expand dynamic range and as a way to give us a better starting point rather than looking at HDR as an endpoint, then it makes sense that additional tweaking may be something we want to do. When we’re working with tonemapped HDR images, sometimes additional editing is needed or desired.

According to Nik, the Adaptive deghosting is best used for things like leaves/branches and the Global deghosting is best used for larger elements that move more through the scene like people or cars. There are two types of deghosting and three possible strengths for each type. A dialogue box opens where you choose your source files, choose whether you want to use alignment and deghosting.

Very similar to the path for merging to Photoshop’s HDR Pro so there’s some familiarity here for those already using HDR Pro. To start merging a set of files the command path is File>Automate>Merge to HDR Efex Pro. I also know that Nik has a lot of users and a lot of fans and that’s fine. I know you can make adjustments after choosing a preset, but I still prefer a more DIY approach. I, personally, feel the products are overpriced for what you get and I’m not a fan of ‘canned’ or ‘recipe’ based solutions.

I’ll state upfront that I don’t own any Nik products (I’m using the trial version for this review).

Nik’s 32 bit flavour is EXR (as opposed to Radiance HDR). The software installs the tonemapping plugin as well as a merge script so you can do both the merging and tonemapping.

The tutorial will concentrate on using Photomatix from HDRSoft but the techniques discussed for using PM apply to other HDR software programs as well.

Yes, there’s a lot of HDR stuff in here but, hey, I do HDR and the rest of Photoshop is pretty damn good after 20 years. But if you use others in the Adobe product family, toss your wishes into the comments. I’m only going to cover the two products I use – Photoshop and Lightroom. So here, in this little piece of the blogoshphere is my Christmas Wishlist for Adobe. Now that we’re adults the wishes are different and more difficult to fulfill. When we were kids, it seemed that magic happened on Christmas day and most of our wishes came true. A lump of coal for some of the more naughty. The time of snow and presents under the tree.
