Processing Information
The images have been pre-processed in the following way: The original RAW files where converted to TIFFs in Adobe Camera RAW with the default settings. Any noise reduction and sharpening was turned off. The CA (Chromatic Aberration) was removed (see Correcting Chromatic Aberration for details). The images where saves as TIFFs and watermarked in Photoshop. No noise reduction or any additional processing was applied.
Processing Tips
Use the source images as you feel appropriate. It is not strictly necessary to use all of them. Visit the photo page at to get information on my personal workflow for this image. It may serve as a starting point. Aligning the source images and reducing chromatic aberration is not necessary. In Photomatix (or any other HDR software you use) you should turn off these options. Ghost removal and noise reduction may be useful, depending on your workflow.
