Hi,
I am just starting to experiment with HDR. I am using a Nikon D200 and Photoshop CS3. I am shooting 1 stop plus/minus and merging to HDR. It seems that the highlights are always getting blown out much more than the middle image. The shadows are brought up fairly well, but the entire upper end of the curve seems blown out with loss of contrast. I have been experimenting with different methods during the 32 to 16 bit conversion to correct it but have not been so pleased with the results. I can get the highlights back down, but the upper end is fairly washed out with loss of contrast. It seems like the middle part of the curve is also pushed up a bit which would account for the loss of upper end contrast.
I have looked at several tutorials on the net. They don’t seem to address this specific situation and how to correct it. Also, the screen shots right after the HDR merge sure look alot better than mine, and don’t seem to be blown out at the upper end.
Any help, pointers, links, etc would be so very much appreciated.
