jspek · 05-26-2007, 06:18 PM

does anyone know if you can use this HDR process in photoshop 7? everything ive found so far is saying CS2 has the option but i cant figure out how to do it in PS 7.

good links btw grimm

jspek · 05-28-2007, 03:14 AM

go to file>automate>merge to hdr... if that isnt there then you might not be able to do it.

yea thats the problem, when i go to file>automate> there is no merge to HDR

i was wondering if there was another way to do it, but i guess not

jspek · 05-28-2007, 06:33 PM

found this on a website...

The automatic merging function is only in Photoshop CS2. That doesn't mean you can't do it in PS7, it's just a lot more work.

To do it manually, you need to take the multiple images you took (basically one for the shadows, one for the mid-tones, and one for the highlights), load them in as individual layers in one image, and then use masks and blending modes to show the parts of each image you want to make up the whole. It's a lot more work

thanks for looking that up jspek. i was hoping that wasnt going to be the answer but it looks like im SOL.

thanks for taking the time to look for that though!

jspek · 05-29-2007, 02:12 AM

well..... half of my question was just answered :/

zerioustt · 05-31-2007, 12:27 PM

I don't know if its in all nikon cameras but there's a image overlay in my d40. This is the same thing correct?

Vypurr · 06-01-2007, 01:05 AM

I gave it a shot today!

I can post the RAW if anyone wants to try.

Vypurr · 06-01-2007, 10:14 PM

Next attempt! Much more extreme though.

I'll try and take a stab. In my D50's menu there is a function called BKT set. This is bracketing. I set to AE & Flash and pick what EV levels I want. Usally 1.0 apart. Then while using a tripod you take three photos. The camera already sets the EV for you. One at 0.0, +1.0, and -1.0. Easy way of getting the needed images with out pushing other buttons then the shutter button.

I'm guessing the D50 doesn't have a Image overlay or if it does I haven't found it. I'm also guessing that it takes multi photos and merges them in camera?

I took two quick sets of photos this way. Set in Jpeg, to lazy to change and set it Raw. Also forgot. Anyway used photomatrix and merged to HDR and then Toned mapped. Then in CS2 some other adjustments. They where quickly taken.

Nothing to crazy, when merged they look better then the the plain EV photo taken. Figured so but anyway not my best. At least they look semi real and not over blown. Could of been better but meh, took me less then 10 mins to edit these.
