| Re: Exposure Blending - Any Wabbers Doing It?
Hi Richard,
Yes, I think the use is basically to enable the creation of photos that would otherwise be impossible as a single frame, for example a sunset shot where you wanted to keep the saturated sunset colours in the sky, but also wanted to show good detail in the landscape etc.
Some years back I dabbled with graduated neutral density filters for this sort of thing, where the filter would hold back part of the image, allowing full exposure of landscape, but preventing over exposure of the sky.
It was always something of a hit & miss affair, but from what's being said about this software, it looks like digital manipulation of several frames can achieve similar results with much more control over things.
I know that similar results can be had by blending a number of layers in photoshop etc., but am assuming that even doing that would not provide the seemless and totally variable blending that this dedicated software seems to be talking about.
I was hoping that someone actually using such software might enlighten us (& possibly show an image or two so that we can see what can be achieved - by real users, and not by just what the manufacturers say).
Regards,
Mike. |
