![]() ![]() I find that in photography this is a bit less so, but still exists to a higher degree than other industries, your site being a prime example. I work in another craft industry in which collaboration and the experienced guiding the newcomers is very common. Mad karma points for you! I plan to peruse the rest of your site to see what other golden nuggets lay about. I may return with some questions in the not too distant future, but mainly I wanted to say thanks for taking your time to share all this information with the world. I just had my first professional RE gig, and I’ve incorporated many of your steps into my own already established workflow and they have been very helpful. I’ve been doing my own personal or fine art photography for years, and then realized that my gear is very well suited to doing RE. It’s not many professional photogs who are willing to go into such detail about their processes, settings and workflow, so sharing yours is much appreciated. It’s one less thing Photomatix has to try and do, and we try to keep its work to a minimum! Reply It could come out with something weird, and then make it impossible to edit correctly back in Lightroom. If each pixel is a different temperature, the software will be trying to guess what temperature it should be. I know it’s an extra step, but when you blend you are blending in the average of a pixel. I would definitely do the temperature in Lightroom before blending. So why waste the resources/processing when you don’t to right?! I found that 5 or 7 were no different than 3, when you have the same broad range. I still take 7 on-site, but when I get home I only choose a dark/mid/high. I am using Photomatix now 100% and I actually switched to using 3 brackets. You do to some extent, because you need that dark exposure for something, but when everything averages out you don’t gain much. Sorry that I’m so late getting to this – the email notice from the website went to my spam! You can test yourself with those underexposed pics, but generally speaking, you do not gain much from keeping them. Export for DeliveryĮxport all of the photos using our export presets that we created in the Software Setup for Post Processing article, and package them up for delivery to the client. Edit with Photoshopįor exterior photos that need sky replacements or any photo that has a difficult object to remove that can’t be handled within Lightroom, we send the photo to Photoshop for the final touches. Edit with LightroomĮdit each photo individually with Lightroom, adjusting exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, blacks, clarity and saturation. This will result in a blended image of all brackets in each individual stack. By highlighting all of our stacks before triggering the Enfuse process, we let Enfuse know that each stack should be blended individually. ![]() ![]() We blend all of the stacked brackets together using the bulk feature in Enfuse. This is done so each bracketed shot has the same color temperature before blending together with Enfuse. Each stack will end up with 3-7 photos depending on how many exposures you took for the given shot.įor each stack of photos, adjust the color temperature by using the eye dropper tool in Lightroom and making manual adjustments as needed. Stack the Bracketed Shotsįor each set of bracketed exposures that we take, we create a single stack of all photos. Import all of the photos from the shoot into your Lightroom catalog. ![]()
