MERGING PHOTOS IN ON1 PHOTO RAW FOR HDR PROFESSIONAL
It seems that professional photographers are suffering from a kind of Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to their relationship with the world’s largest software rental business. Have good weekend!….While the latest machinations from Adobe have been met with cries of despair from many corners, the week before competitor ON1 announced Photo RAW 2018 and the news hardly created a ripple. I believe that On1 has some really nice settings to adjust to get very good HDR images.
Overall with the stacking, the image turned out pretty good – and the sunset really did have those rays. Therefore, it confirmed it was a pretty hard image to create. Also, just to double check, I took the 5 images into Nik HDR Efex Pro2 and a little ghosting occurred in this HDR image with the flags. This was a very difficult image with the high winds. This being said, I have used the On1 HDR filter with no problems. If having a big problem with post-processing it with On1 HDR, then do a second HDR image using Lightroom’s Merge to HDR and stack the images. Basically what I wanted to pass on is, if possible do use a tripod to take your HDR images – it will help in abnormal conditions. This took a lot of time but I liked the result. With a mask applied to the top On1 layer, the problems with the foreground lines and flags were corrected by using the Clone Stamp Tool set to 80% brush opacity.
In PS an Auto-align command (Edit -> Auto-align layers) and Crop Tool was done first. So what I did was highlight both HDR images in Lightroom (a tiff for On1 and dng for LR) and right clicked, and selected Edit In -> Open as Layers in Photoshop. I decided to compare the results with Lightroom’s fairly new HDR Photo Merge (select images and right click Photo Merge -> HDR) where the Deghost Amount was set to High – had no ghost issues at all! The problem for me is that I liked the Tone and Color effects in On1 better than what could be achieved in Photoshop or Lightroom. In On1’s HDR dialog, the HDR was set to Very High for deghosting, but the ghosting effect was still obvious. All the midground and background objects looked perfect. I really gave the software a tough image to process – lots of wind so the flags and the lines on the foreground boat were slightly moving. Just doing a really quick blog and discussing the new HDR filter in On1 (for website, see sidebar link at my Tidbits Blog) Photo Raw 2018 software. This sunset was taken at Spanish Cay in the Bahamas.
