HDR Cookbook – Before and After: Church of Sts. Peter and Paul (HDR)
Church of Sts. Peter and Paul – Before and After (click to enlarge)
This is the before-and-after comparison of “Church of Sts. Peter and Paul (HDR)“. In the top row, you see the original source images straight out of the camera. This image is based on a standard 3-shot autobracketing series with +2, 0 and -2 ev. On the left side on the bottom row, you see the result of merging those shots into a 32-bit HDR and subsequent tone-mapping using the detail enhancer option of Photomatix Pro 4.0. And finally, the right side of the bottom row shows the final image after a number of post-processing steps executed in Photoshop CS4.
The final image and a more detailed description of the post-processing steps can be viewed here. Click on the image below to view a bigger version.
Nice before and after shots Klaus, and the finished product is always perfect, Cheers!
Thanks, Mike!
