Is HDR and Tone mapping legal in advanced editing if it is from one raw file and applied to the complete image?
NOTE: I tried to do a search before posting but could not get the answer I was looking for.
It would be great if DPC would add an additional category in the forums called:

I agree with you here...
HDR and Tone mapping is legal in Advanced provided you only use one RAW image. And per this thread hereit is also legal in Basic.

From the above reference rules:
You May
Overlay two copies of the same original file and process them differently to enhance dynamic range. |

 You can tonemap in Basic also, just from one exposure.

In Basic you may apply tone mapping to single RAW exposure; or a tiff, for that matter. You may also use PS shadow/highlight, their version of same thing.
In Advanced you may generate several "exposures" from a single RAW capture and merge them to "quasi" HDR and tone map that.
In Expert you may capture several distinct exposures in the field and merge them to a "true" HDR image.

That's tone mapping of a single JPG exposure, per his notes.
So is this one for that matter, but from a single RAW exposure:

Thanks for the answer Robert
And thanks jd for the example. I see where you said, "tonemap...one exposure", I should have read you post carefully. Be glad when my glasses arrive! |
