I was talking more of extremes, if any tool is used inappropriately ie harsh shadows/highlight adjustment on an 8 bit file. A 16 bit file will be far less prone to level based aberrations but like any image it won't stop it looking like crap :-) WRT your image I simply posed the suggestion that I suspect what you achieved via HDR tools could have been achieved without using this technique. I think where HDR shines is in images with an exposure range that simply leaves the highlight areas completely blown and the shadow areas dead black, like light streaming through a rain forest canopy. A set of appropriately bracketed shots should allow the reconstruction of a relatively natural appearing image using HDR techniques in this type of situation. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
