Aha. Something just clicked about that statement. When you do your HDR merge, have it create an 8 bit image. 8 bit will save as JPG, 16 bit will be a TIF. |

It's always easier to help someone when they are using the same software.
You'll get my bill in the mail...
I've been up too late working on my own entry. Probably more work than it's worth for something that will probably be a mid-pack entry.

Choosing a risky one over a safer entry that would probably perform mid-pack. Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! |

I'm pretty excited too. I think I may have a PB. But then again, I've thought that before. |

Same here... I love the image I didn't choose though...
[DELETED]
I think I might be falling a bit into that "HDR Hole".. I love the look, it's great.

It won't, but I'll PM it to you as SC is not fond of outtakes being discussed in the forums before the end of the challenge. |

Ok. I've been playing with HDR for 4 hours now, and I've learned one important thing:
I HATE HDR!!
Ok, now I have that out of my system. I cannot for the life of me figure out the stupid tone mapping. I have my files, I've tried them in photoshop, photomatix, and some other stupid shareware thing, and also tried doing it manually with layers in photoshop. The all look horrible.
I'm entering the least worst of the bunch and will watch my average plummet (it was finally going up again after a good week. Ah well, easy come, easy go.) But after spending this long fighting with it, I WILL enter something.
blech to HDR.
________________________________________________
Now that I've gotten that out of my system. Is there any tone mapping genius out there that's willing to take my originals, create something wonderful, and tell me how they did it? I know that I'm not doing this right, and that I could have gotten it much better, but I really am not having much luck figuring this out. But I'd really like to learn...

Oh go ahead and enter! I need someone with whom to commiserate! (I know mine is substandard, but I'm entering it anyway. Hopefully I'll get some comments)
