Any HDR software?
Can someone tell me where I could find a software to produce HDR image with a couple of image with light variations. I have a Canon S2 so I can't take RAW images... Is this possible? Actually I don't know much about HDR...
Thanks in advance! |
don't worry about not shooting raw...
ya google it....... |
It's been on my list of things to play with, but I'm such a lazy ass for carrying equipment and setting up shots. Here's one you can try for free and plugs in to Photoshop too if you use it:
HDR Soft I haven't tried the demo yet. I'd want to go take a couple of sets of photos to work with prior to downloading the trial. |
I use Photomatixm which Ninjatune recommended for me. I'm pretty happy with it, but maybe there are better software out there.
I don't really like those hardcore HDR images at all. I'm more into subtle HDR, and Photomatix is a great application for that: This image is made from three unique raw-files. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/180/3...6e83e751_o.jpg This one is made from a single raw-file. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/108/3...e47cc0a4_o.jpg This one is an JPG-image that I actually did some minimal work on in Photomatix. Although it's hardly noticable, and I honestly don't think it made any difference whatsoever. http://http://farm1.static.flickr.co...16c011d4_o.jpg By the way, I think there are some tutorials on Flickr regarding HDR images from JPG-photos (ie. non-raw). Don't expect the quality to be that phenomenal though... |
Yeah, Photomatix is great! Altough there are a few glitches, but it works well overall...
Here are my 2 first attempts at HDR, the first one taken from my computer desk, and the second one, less basic, 2 houses across the street... http://www.axelrd.com/divers/2007042...02_c56301b.jpg http://www.axelrd.com/divers/20070422-155012_c56327.jpg |

The most important things to do when taking photos for HDR are to use a tripod (or stable flat surface) and to vary the exposure by changing the shutter speed while keeping a constant aperture (the photos won't line up properly if the aperture changes and alters the depth-of-field). |
