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