LIGHTROOM CC HDR PRO

LIGHTROOM CC HDR PRO

Lightroom HDR on left, Photomatix Pro HDR on Right.Д«oth versions shown above received the same level of sharpening for this comparison (+25, 1.0 25, 0 in the Detail panel). In both cases my goal was to make each image look as good as I could after the merge.ДЇigure 3: Detailed comparison at 1:1 magnification. Both merged files were processed further in Lightroom using the Basic panel, Detail panel, and gradients at the top and bottom of each image. Both sets of images had medium deghosting applied during the HDR process. The second image is the same set of files merged in Photomatix ProвЂ™s Exposure Fusion Natural. The first image is the result of merging the three source filesВ (2-,0,+2 EV) in Lightroom. Below are two images merged from a three-photo HDR series I shot during blue hour last night in downtown Portland. I decided to do a test to compare LightroomвЂ™s HDR feature to Photomatix Pro, my go-to HDR program. If Lightroom could become my go-to HDR merging solution, it would save me time and streamline my postproduction workflow. But to make that magic I need a high quality merged HDR file. This last part of the process is where the magic often happens. Finally I import the merged file into Lightroom for fine-tuning. Then I merge those photos using LightroomвЂ™s plugin for Photomatix Pro to create an HDR file. I use it to prepare source photos with a few basic settings, such as white balance and basic lens corrections. Even though I use Photomatix Pro for my HDR, Lightroom is a big part of my HDR process. As someone who shoots HDR regularly and uses Lightroom for the majority of his workflow, I like the idea of having HDR built directly into Lightroom. In the past it has been necessary to use Photoshop or HDR plug-ins like Photomatix Pro or Nik HDR Pro. The latest versions of Lightroom (Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6) have a new feature for merging HDR files within Lightroom.
