(Note: I tone map in Photomatix for a true HDR). I’m pretty comfortable with my Photomatix settings and have them saved as a preset. It took a bit of futzing to get the color vibrancy and contrast where I wanted it and worked the curves and saturation pretty hard. The exterior/window pull was pretty amazing, color accuracy-wise, and if window pulls are important to you, Enfuse does a pretty good job with them. The 40D – and all Canons from what I understand – shoots heavy on the reds and I had to color balance pretty heavily for the reds in the image.
The final blend, taken into Photoshop CS3 for the processing, required more color correction than I anticipated. I’m not sure how you know what adjustments you need to make – it only gives you two options anyway – without having a preview. I didn’t care for the fact that it doesn’t give you a preview of the final image. The plug-in for Lightroom makes the process very easy – took under a minute for the final image to be blended. Both images also got a quick dodge on the ceiling and around the french doors. Each image was composed of three bracketed images +/- 2 stops.īoth images were run through Noise Ninja and Shadows/Highlights with the same settings and as close to the same settings as I could get for rotation and vertical correction. I can’t say I’m an expert at Enfuse (or Photomatix for that matter) but thought I’d post a comparison between images for you.įor the test,to make it a more honest comparison, I spent only ten minutes on each image. I recently acquired a new computer (that’s a whole other post) and decided to download the Enfuse plug-in for Lightroom, just to see. I’ve always been a Photomatix girl – I just prefer the user interface and the simplicity of the program over Enfuse.
There are two popular programs to create HDR and Exposure Blend images: Photomatix and Enfuse.
