HD Image

Sorry Woo, HD just doesn't do anything for me, but it's each to there own.

 

I like the image, it's atmospheric and quite 'painterly' and I think it would look quite good as a print. Not sure about that hard edge at the bottom - I think it needs cropped out.
One of the better HDR images I've seen recently, but as Sheal says 'each to their own'.

 

A marked improvement Woo

 

As already said, a nice painting/sketchy effect...but a little too much haloing on the right hand side for me.

What HDR program do you use Woo?

I use that soft too, although I have not for a while now as I mostly use Photoshop for HDR's nowadays.

With photomatix I found a very small adjustment made a huge difference to the photo, and sometimes whilst fiddling with the sliders it was easier to go back to default settings and start again. One constant that I did notice though was that the "strength" always seemed to be quite high for a good conversion.

Good thing now though is as it is so widely used that there are tons of tutorials on the web for it.
