There are still some artifacts visible but not really any issue anymore. That the leaves are blurred is no real problem because it shows to the viewer movement.
The artifacts are now quite a bit reduced: We activated ghost reducing for background objects and selected detection "strong". You can enable ghost reducing during the HDR creation process: The merged photo looks nice at smaller magnifications (no final tuning for tonality yet).īut if we inspect the palm trees closer we see strong artifacts (we wrote about such artifacts before):įortunately Photomatix allows you to reduce the ghosting quite a bit. Our plan is to make a B&W version and use Photomatix Pro 3.0. We followed our usual " High Speed bracketing" workflow and shot 3 frames at -1 1/3, 0, +1 1/3 EV (with the Canon Rebel XSi/450D). We shot the following bracketed images of a higher contrast scene. This article is about ghosting created by moving branches and leaves. There are many scenes that include trees and only in very rare cases the leaves won't move. The surf of the ocean is more challenging though. Most often no big deal.Ĭlouds merge well because they don't have harsh edges.Ĭan sometimes work fine if the water runs smooth. : The HDR Batch Plugin for Lightroom has been updated to version 2, adding the creation of unprocessed 32-bit HDR images, and saving as 32-bit DNG, 32-bit TIFF and OpenEXR. Often we treat them just like dust :-) and retouch the final images. : Photomatix Pro updated to version 6.3, adding native M1 support, with up to 60 boost in performance, and support for Canon EOS R and Nikon Z RAW files. This means we cannot share any experience here. and subsequent tone mapping was done using Photomatix Pro v3.0 (HDR 2010). We photograph mainly static scenes and watch quite carefully that hardly people or animals are in our way. Three case studies are then presented (1) a very high contrast photograph. Here is a list of common ghosting candidates: Five digital photographs of a test pit recorded at two EV intervals (by.

Ghosting is the major limiting factor to create HDR images and there is no software capable to fix it in all cases.Ĭamera movement is less an issue because Photomatix and Photoshop can correct this in many cases. Portable Photomatix Pro 3.0 Photomatix is a program that will extend the dynamic range of digital photographs or scanned films.If you have ever shot a high contrast scene, you probably know the problem blown out highlights and loss of contrast in shadows. This image was generated using Photomatix Pro 3.0 software using the details.
What is "ghosting"? If you create HDR files or merge images with moving objects these objects will look like "ghosts" in the resulting image, because some or all parts of these objects will be only in one or two of the merged files.
