I am experimenting with hdr and tonemapping with photomatix, for the 'candid' challenge.
Photomatix has a semi-automatic feature called ghosting removal, which allows to manually specify areas of the image where features have moved between exposures (say a person walking, foliage moving due to the wind etc.). The program then allows to select the preferred exposure and tries quite effectively to remove any ghosting/blurring.
I suppose one could achieve the same effect in photoshop by cloning out and/or masking the ghosting.
Is removing ghosting this way compatible with Advanced Editing rules?
In particular, I was wondering about the following excerpts:
[you may not]
*) combine captures of different scenes, move or change a feature between frames, or combine different captures to create a new scene.
*) use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer̢۪s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.
Apologies if this was discussed already. If it was I couldn't find it.
Thanks

| My version of photomatix only does this automatically... but, in any case, I would assume that is alright. The rules are worded such that they just want you to keep from using multiple exposures to insert people/objects. If it's clear you are intending to preserve the scene and merely increase the dynamic range instead of inserting things selectively, then I would assume you're fine. |

| In the version I am using there is a manual option and I found that it works wonderfully on some images, actually much better than the automatic option. Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a go then. |
