More on Exposure 7
Here is a B&W take of my Exposure 7 trial.
For this rendition I wanted to see how it matched up against NIK Silver Efex Pro 2, and I am impressed. Here I used an Ilford B&W emulation + Vignette, and added 50% grain as if developed in Rodinal, and a few other tweaks. This really looks like grain, not noise. https://db.tt/NBuFaHS1 -- Regards, Savageduck |

I was trying to emulate a classic B&W film, and a classic developer, both of which together would produce a reasonably visually pleasing grain. It managed this task quite well, and I didn't have to handle the smells of a wet darkroom. I can certainly get a similar result with NIK Silver Efex Pro 2, but I am test driving Exposure 7 right now. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It adds another tool to my tool box. Very different HDR results from those produced by NIK HDR Efex Pro or Photomatix, and even HDR Pro in Photoshop. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Wasn't that you who posted the photo of a tree next to a road, inviting everyone to try some HDR on it? Did you try the new software on that one? For ~$80, I'll probably get it, too. |

I have no idea how familiar he would have been with California Live Oaks. Somehow I don't think he ever made it out West. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Here is a rendition of that tree done with HDR Express 3. https://db.tt/NB1lG9Ng I like it. I have a couple of sunset/cloud-formation type photos I'll probably try the trial version on. I'll have to create the multiple exposures, though. There obviously won't be any ghosting issues... |

I'm aware of all that. What I'm trying to say is that it is far too grainy for my taste. Just after I posted I read your post describing how your vision is soft focus and you hope that will be fixed by your forthcoming eye operations. It then occurred to me to wonder how your views on what is a desirable amount of visible grain will be affected by your forthcoming eye operations. It will be interesting to hear back from you once your vision has settled down. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
