Looks ok. You may want to use some shadow recovery.. or some fill light in the raw stage. For a quick fix, you should heal up your cs3 autoblend seam. You may...
For this one I ran it through Neat Image (their free version) in auto to let it remove some of the grain before I sharpen it. In CS3 I go to Lab Color,...
Hello all, I am a very happy PTGui user and have upgraded to the new beta that has HDR support. So far I like it a lot. Picture photographing a room where...
I think cs3 smart sharpen should be a bit better than the lossy lab method. However, as I recall 360 sphericals with the 10-22 took a LONG time to smart ...
I went back and tried sharpening the photo with CS3 Smart Sharpen and it looks much better now, it also worked fast. Of coarse with more detail the file size...
Hi David, ... Ptgui will stack and expect planes by exposure values. If you have bracketed a few segments only it will create blending holes (because of...
I agree -- the smart sharpen path does a much better job. Just take a look at the two camels and bag of grain where the qtvr first shows up -- you can see a...
Yes, However, the main issue there was not sharpening per se but in how the sharpening shrugged off the jpg compression there. Otherwise, different jpg levels...
Hi Juergen, hi Matt ... I beg to differ. In order to calibrate your lens correctly and to be used as a template in the data base you need vertical and...
Joost, Can I request 2 things? 1. JPG export of the Tonemapped image 2. 3 more controls in the tonemapping: - Temperature + cast - Saturation Highlights -...
Hmm it smells like someone knows what they are doing! Just look to adobe’s split toning for more info. This is essential for HDR correct WB for something...
Thanks Milko. I checked out PTlens and it certainly seems worth $15. But I'm confused -- are the PTlens coefficients the same as used with PTgui, or is PTgui...
... I would like to give my opinion here. The reason I don't always autobracket is that I get too many images and that slows the capturing process down too...
... Not necessarily. To determine the a,b,c,d,e coefficients of your lens/sensor, you can use two scenarios. The first scenario is to take a shot with lots of...
Hi John, ... Yes, and as you point out in your optimizer tutorial you must only place these points on lines that should remain straight in the selected output ...
Hi Matt, ... The PTlens coefficients (a,b and c lens distortion) have been determined with the same tools, but with a specific calibration target. If you use...
As an alternative sharpening you might like to try this - make a layer and apply a High Pass filter, blend it with Hard Light and then adjust the layer opacity...
I understand your reasoning. The problem is that you wont be able to stitch properly ldrs with hdrs without having a dramatic defference in image dynamic...
Looks great on my calibrated screen Roger. Very realistic for this time of day. Chris Thomas Photographer cell... 403-615-1212 In North America call......
Even if you manually created the HDR files (from the 3 sets of 3 in your example), then tone mapped the result back down to 8- or 16- bits, I would think that...
Hi Serge, ... Sure, good enough for the pano fit in eq/cyl projection. Try these values for a pano twice the resolution or try a calibration grid target with ...
Hi Matt, "...most folks dont have access to the poles..." is not exactly true for panorama enthusiasts since some often enough sport a technique simply called...
I redid this pano of Pushkar from the beginning and also made it a little brighter. With this new monitor which is very bight it's hard to tell how things...
It looks excellent. Just what a 360 fullscreen should be.. making you feel as if you were there. 2 Suggestions. 1. You're still clipping your shadows..The pure...
I shoot to, Raw / Fine on my 20D. I normally just use the Fine JPG photos. On this one I did use the Raw ones and saved them, As Shot / TIF using CS3. I then...
