Newbie HDR question

[Gunjack]

Hi, I have never tried HDR and may want to attempt my first try. What software do I need to achieve HDR using steps that are easy for a beginner? Thanks!

Hi,

try photomatix

:thumbsup:
good software n easy to use

Photomatix Pro is easiest to use.

Photoshop is a bit more complicated.

u also need abt 3 or more exposures of the same photo to do a HDR.

no need tripod also can.... juz shoot in raw....
later during pp u make 3 different levels of exposure for that photo....
and save each individually.

Shooting 3 individual frames will carry more pixel information when doing HDR/tone mapping and will give u a cleaner image. I would use tripod when possible..

one of my friend yapster used to do handheld bracketting as well :bsmilie: worth a try if u have steady hands and where a tripod is not available.

Photoshop for me The image they produce its sharp.

Hmm... Was wondering what "package" of the photomatrix you guys ordered?
Is the plugin for photoshop necessary?
The plugin for lightroom seem like a standard in the package itself.

Get it as a standalone program, easier to work with.

Hmm~ what are the benefits of working standalone? care to share your experiences?
Apart from that, is the lightroom plugin any good?

thanks~
