shuy said:oh ok, just as i thought.
just a quick question, ND filter merely cuts out light equally across the spectrum, n PS can only simulate ND with a still shot. wldnt that merely amount to reducing exposure?

foxtwo said:the problem with trying to apply ND filters in post process is that highlights that have been overexposed will NOT have details. No post process is going to be able to produce detail when none was recorded in the first place.
Digital ND plugin may be able reproduce some aspect of a ND filter, but it has its limitations and cannot fully replace a proper filter.

photobum said:The digital ND filter plug-in that I use at my studio actually requires two images composed into one. One image exposed for the shadows and the other for the highlights. It has since replaced my Singh-Ray Galen Rowell Soft Step 2 f-stops ND filter
This is definitely not lazy or misguided.
