So Ive been doing a lot of HDR photography in the past few days. \u00a0Ive used Photomatix, Picturenaut, and Qtpfsgui to do my tone mapping. \u00a0Ive also used Adobe Lightroom and Google Picassa do to my development.<\/p>\n
Concerning HDR tonemapping, I currently find Qtpfsgui to be my tool of choice. \u00a0I started out using Picturenaut both the latest version and the beta version. \u00a0First of all, the latest release doesnt support outputting images as jpeg. \u00a0This is a huge bummer for me. \u00a0Second of all, I just cant get it to give me the look I want in my images. \u00a0This caused me to switch to Photomatix. \u00a0I like Photomatix. \u00a0Its easy to use and it gives me great images. \u00a0It was my tool of choice until I came along Qtpfsgui. \u00a0This tool gives me pictures with the look I want. \u00a0I generally use the image alignment stack, Profile 1, and Mantiuk algorithm for the tone mapping. \u00a0In the Mantiuk algorithm settings, I usually crank up the saturation. All in all, Ive had great success with this setup. You can see photos created using Qtpfsgui on Flickr by going to this url: http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/qtpfsgui\/<\/a><\/p>\n Concerning development, I am sticking with Picassa for now. \u00a0Lightroom is really slick and nice but its 200 bucks. \u00a0Picassa gives me just enough knobs to turn that Im happy and its free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So Ive been doing a lot of HDR photography in the past few days. \u00a0Ive used Photomatix, Picturenaut, and Qtpfsgui to do my tone mapping. \u00a0Ive also used Adobe Lightroom and Google Picassa do to my development.
