The results? Well, see for yourself, above. The instructions I ended up with when I clicked on the link Ron sent me and download the latest version of Photomatix were very simple to follow: as you can see below. This is one of the best uses for HDR, in my opinion, because it allows us to shoot under high contrast situations. Just in time, too, since yesterday I tried to photograph some waterfalls with the midday sun high overhead, unfiltered by any clouds. I can even check a box that automatically imports the processed image back into Lightroom and stacks it with the originals I used. With the plugin installed, which is also easy, even for me, I can process my HDR takes even faster that before, without leaving Lightroom. More really, because the solution involved installing a plugin for Lightroom that really makes life easier for us Lightroom users. Shortly after sending him what he asked for (which included the Screen Shots I mentioned above) he was back to me with an explanation and the solution I was hoping for. Ron, on the support team, responded with a request for additional information. Monday, I e-mailed the Photomatix Support desk with my dilemma. Try thinking of the processed image as looking like it had been compressed, accordion-like, from right to left and into a space three-quarters as wide as it should have been. I wish I had saved one of the screen shots so you could see what I mean by truncated. No matter what we tried to do, it wouldn’t process correctly. During one of our downloading sessions we tried to process an HDR (High Dynamic Range) capture. Such was the case when Chuck and I were in the Adirondack High Peaks recently. Once in a while we have a problem with software applications, that turn out to be a God-send.
