#LR ENFUSE UPDAYE 32 BIT#
#LR ENFUSE UPDAYE PRO#
Importantly, and unlike some other Edit in… and Export options, Merge to HDR Pro sends full-range 32-bit files to PS, even if you’ve made adjustments in LR. This launches PS’s own HDR Pro module.

If you’re not an LR user, you can instead perform the equivalent of this and the following step using Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). (I have camera profiles for each of my body/lens combinations made using a ColorChecker Passport.) Use Copy/Sync to apply the same adjustments to all the bracketed originals. Defer everything else until your RAW files have been merged into a single 32-bit image. In LR, make only two adjustments to your images: lens correction and camera calibration, which can only be done at this stage.Unless you’re shooting action/sports, which rules out multi-exposure HDR anyway, always shoot in RAW.This is my current workflow for my highest-quality HDR images. I’m only giving up batch operations and a few functions that are better performed in LR or PS anyway. Given that I usually end up in PS anyway, this gives me a simpler workflow than I’d get with HDR Expose. 32 Float is a PS-plugin version of HDR Expose. I’ve recently started using Unified Color’s 32 Float for most of my high-quality HDR images. My goal is to cover not only the tools and methods I’m currently using, but also those that I tried, tested and in some cases abandoned before settling on my current choices. I encourage you to download them and experiment with these workflows.īecause you may not have some of these applications, I’ll describe seven different multi-image workflows as well as some for single-image HDR. Note that all of these applications are available as free-trial versions. The HDR tools I’ve used at one time or another include Photomatix Pro, LR/Enfuse, HDR Efex Pro, HDR Expose 2 and its cousin, 32 Float. I turn to PS for images that require adjustments beyond LR’s capabilities. I use LR to organize my images and for basic processing. My primary applications are Adobe’s Lightroom (LR) and Photoshop (PS). As I’ve recently been running tests on some aspects of HDR processes and tools and particularly methods for transferring images between applications, I thought this would be a good time to pin down and document the workflows I’ve been using and explain why I’m still using them or not.

Since then my HDR workflow has changed quite a bit - almost weekly, it seems. This is my first-ever high-dynamic-range (HDR) image, shot nearly three years ago.
#LR ENFUSE UPDAYE UPDATE#
Update 1/19/12: Based on feedback from many including John Omvik at Unified Color, I’ve improved my #1 workflow and substantially edited all the workflow descriptions below.
