Help with overbright section
Jun 30, 2014 12:26:39 #
I have tried DxO raw converter vs. Photomatix raw converter, and to be honest I saw very little difference. You can try highlight recovery in TIFF, but to be honest I'm not sure it will work. I also have one HDR series with a bit of blown highlights and it did not work well for me, although it helped a little. What rpavich did was to lower the luminosity of the blown part and make what detail is there slightly denser, but there is no more actual detail there. I think that process looks better in B&W than it will in color, since blown highlights tend to end up with chroma problems--false colors--whatever you do. But seeing what could be recovered from the jpg there is a chance that there will be enough there to help substantially in the raw.

I posted a picture of where the banking used to be done. How could I have prevented the real bright spot in the back or how could I PP a correction.
Oh I was shooting thru a gate to this room.

I have looked at all the replies and the various pp suggestions. But that having been said, sometimes the various lighting situations simply make it impossible to have all areas of the photo in proper exposure. This may have been one of those times. There are times when you just have to wait for better lighting, or return at a better time. If that was not possible then you just have to accept less than ideal results

Remember what I said about this may be a time when the light may make a shot not possible? Forget it. I was obviously wrong. Not the first time, and I'm sure it wont be the last. Great job

OK Based on everyones comments and recommendation I applied what y'all said and came up with this one. Now I did start out with a different series, which was taken at f3.5 vs f2.8 Also redid the HDR series using the 3 brackets plus one more which I changed the -2 bracket RAW and pushed it another 2 steps. While this step helped a lot, there was some detail missing I cloned some areas, and layered directly on the resulting HDR pic with the -2 and -4 to brush in more detail.
How did I do ?
I thought about taking the whole brightness wash out out, but thought it would be more realistic leaving some in. Still might do that as well.

I'm in the same minority rpavich. When you convert to BW in LR (I have LR5) do you have a particular preset that you like to use?

You -2EV shot still has blown out areas . . . in extreme situations like this the "blinkies" in your LCD screen should have indicated this and called for a further underexposed image. Blown areas are not repairable in PP. You cannot correct an area that has not been recorded.
At least the cash register at the Alter can be salvaged.LOL
