Dynamic Photo HDR, Part Deux
The bottom line here is that the Tone Mapped image looked pretty good in the preview, but once processed it was a dud. The sky looks good, but the windmill is quite flat. Here are the settings I used:- Tone Mapping: Eye Catching
- Brightness: 17
- Color Saturation: .46
- Vivid Colors .22
- Dramatic Light Radius: 6.9
- Dramatic Light Strength: .72
- Surface Smoothness: .3
- Gamma: 1.73
- Add Clarity: checked
- De Haze: checked
- Noise Reduction: checked
There is a fun function called Match Color that emulates the color balance of a variety of painting styles. I don't know that this is useful, but it shows some imagination. There are also a variety of ways to get other extreme looks: Curves, Color Equalizer, and Hue Shift. Perhaps more useful are the wide variety of color filter presets. These range from Mysterious Light, to Orton Sepia, to a really lame Watercolor.
Bottom line: Dynamic Photo HDR does a lot, but in my opinion it does little well.
