I downloaded the new version of Artizen today because it's "new and improved" but I'm not overwhelmed. When I combined 5 images for the HDR it still aligned them wrong and created a few artifacts. You can see them in the picture and they are a result of the combining of the bracketed images, not the tonemapping.
I was also disappointed that when I tonemapped in Artizen it caused banding in the sky, even at 32 bits. So this was combined in Artizen and tonemapped in Photomatix.
Edit: I'm whining about the program, not my final result.
Extremely funny title. Another fabulous lighthouse picture from you. I am always amazed at what an eye you have for color and simplicity. I like how the clouds are curved in towards the shore and the land is curved out towards the water.
I don't know how you manage to nail these shots so well. I took a look at Artizen and realised it's pc only, so not compatible with my mac. This is really lovely.
Have no idea what you are babbling on about :) However the finished result is stunning- what a wonderful sense of space and serenity- well done , KEN !
OMG .. and you're disappointed .. its the most beautiful image ken .. the colours, the scene, everything is stunning .. i love that i saw amanda's photograph of you taking this photograph, possibly, before opening this .. i love the softness .. wot an amazing place you have to photograph .. it makes for a wonderful 'date' for you guys to indulge in your passion .. of photography, of course ... !!..:)
Now, just when I've heaped praise on your other half, you go and upstage her (sorry!) with this stunner!.
This is blue ribbon stuff, on so many counts.
