HDR from Single RAW

TMC · 11th October 2006

Trying to generate a HDR image from a single raw image using the CS2 method. Anyone got any success doing so? CS2 kept saying that I cant produce a useful HDR curve even with 7 pics from -2 to +2 ev.

Me too have an error,converted maybe say 3 pics (+1EV,0EV,-1EV)
open together but cannot generate a HDR pic,using photomatrix btw.

CS2 don't allow you to merge them using the HDR function if they all the JPEGs are from the same raw file. You can do it manually using layers and masking.

Apparently someone got it to work but then even the method he suggested, stripping the exif , doesnt seem to work. I changed the pics to png format and it still didnt work.

photomatix won't give you that problem...you should give it a try

Alternatively use FM's HDR action. It's pretty good.
