Tutorial The ultimate HDR method (Photoshop CC only)

Welcome.
 
Interestingly, some of my 'negatives' from this exercise were just over 1GB in size ... D810.

{Edit} This I guess as a result of some additional processing before flattening the image, hence creating 5 x processed images in the 'negative'?

Tried it today.

Excellent.

On the very few occasions where I feel I need hdr I have been using Photomatix.

Not any more.

Cheers.
 
I tried it to great effect and have also just discovered you can do virtually the same thing in LR, I believe it lacks some of the options but creates monster latitude files based on the originals just like PS. I found that on default settings it produced slightly nicer results than PS and saved the importing/exporting - nifty feature I have to say and now actually gives me a reason to use a tripod.
 
Yesterday's CC update seems to have broken the process ... after selecting 'Tone in ACR' the process fails to complete and open in ACR stating that it 'Could not complete due to a programme error'.

I'm experiencing the same issue, Gramps. Are you aware of a way to fix this?

Steve there is no official fix (I'm the only one who Adobe have ever heard of with the problem!) but there are a couple of work-arounds ... #2 worked fine for me but of course I lost the latest updates to Photoshop and ACR.
  1. Setup a new Admin User account and try to use that account to access Photoshop.
  2. Roll-back Photoshop to Version 2015.0.0 (through CC Desktop) and ACR to 9.4 ( http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/01/camera-raw-9-4-now-available.html ) ... you cannot roll-back to ACR 9.4 whilst using Photoshop Version 2015.1.2

Cheers - I'll give option 2 a try! :)
 
Thanks for this, great tutorial and I've found very useful indeed.

A question if I may though. I understand the process with a single bracketed shot but what if I was planning on doing a HDR panoramic of say 4 photos wide.

I'm assuming I take my 5 bracketed shots for part 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Go the HDR process for part 1 then the other parts.
And then I merge into a panorama?

But do I merge them in 32bit or 16bit?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered. I'm a novice with photoshop! :)
 
What ever happened to the link for this, it doesn't seem to work anymore?
