Is anyone else here like me interested in full dynamic range pictures?
I really like the idea of using 3 exposures combined together to create a well balanced image.
I like doing a lot of cityscape work and therefore this can mean that when I look through the viewfinder, the light can have a range of about 4 stops. I could use grads but would prefer software that works well with RAW files. I downloaded the free FDR Tools basic and this is the most frustrating software in the whole world. It is the only time it has made me want to put my fist through my I-Mac.
Previously I tried downloading and using this on PC and have tried it twice on the Mac and still no success. Getting the program downloaded and working is a massive problem. Then using your pictures to create HDR is completely impossible. I am loathed to pay for the full version and also the software from the rival photomatix Pro.
Can I do tone mapping in DPP? I would not think so. I know that Aperture 3 does not do this which is why I have not bought it.
Would be great to hear from anyone.
Many thanks
