Thanks Dan Larry and others who viewed/commented on my Falls shot. I went back and re-did the pano within LR6 and then did another similar which stitched 4 66MB files. The 3-frame stitch took 1min 15sec, the 4-frame stitch took about 2 minutes to process. iMac OSX10.9, 3.2GHz processor, 24GB

The HDR and Pano tool sound very useful - I use Photoshop and it has tools that do the same functions. Any idea if the tools in LR are the same as those in PS, or are they an improvement? (I'm guessing that Mark R. would know...) Mark C. On 4/22/2015 3:31 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I just spent

I tried the pano feature first thing. The same scene that I submitted for this month’s PUG. That one was stitched in Photoshop 11. Three 645Z dng files, each about 66MB. Selected the three, searched and finally found the merge-pano button, told it to do its thing. A few seconds later I had a

I just spent some time playing with LR6s new HDR feature. At first glance, I am very happy with it. It seems to do pretty much exactly what I want in HDR, it takes several DNG files and combines them into another DNG file with expanded dynamic range, and no tone mapping. I'm not sure, but I

I tried it on some sets of shots that I had processed with Photomatix Pro. The lightroom versions were quite good, it certainly is faster. One thing is Photomatix pro will process a single file and help bring out shadow detail. You can create a copy in Lightroom and use it with the original

I've only done a little testing so far, but import, export, and 1:1 rendering has become quite a bit quicker on my system. How much improvement you see is dependent on what GPU your computer has. Godfrey On Apr 22, 2015, at 2:18 PM, Zos Xavius zosxav...@gmail.com wrote: How is
