Some people like HDR effects, others do not. I've put together an image using software meant to process camera exposures but using only one image and changing the exposure levels from dark to light as well as the original. I like the results and I'd like to get other responses...

The 'halo/vignetting' effects shows that you have to be more careful when processing your image.

Thank you for bringing the vignetting to my attention. The original's slight one becomes magnified.

It's best to post with "store original" for better viewing and camera data. I don't know what you did to pp? The right picture does look better, but the histogram is still not right. I am posting histogram for left and right. David The flats on bright and dark side should be removed.

The original was taken on a misty day with poor visibility. The second image is comprised of the same photograph brought to its bright and dark limits. The three images were merged which brought out a pseudo HDR appearance. The sailboat, buildings and water colors were improved but the water also took on too many shadows and looked rough, the sky too dark and dreary. The sky and water's saturation were lightened. I feel a further action should have been taken on the sky, replacing it if not able to bring it inline. I don't usually work with a histogram but I will next time. Thank you.

[quote=Elle]Thanks for the great discussion Elle. I any version of Photoshop you can click "control" "L" or windows commands. I always do this first with my pictures. I bring the flats on either side in to the bottom of the slope. David

I am not using Photoshop...Corel's Paint Shop Pro is my base software along with On One's Suite 8 and all of the Topaz apps. It's my understanding that there is no right or wrong using the Histogram adjustments depending on the mood the photographer is trying to achieve. other than to adjust either an over or under exposure and my tendency is to think of it as a camera adjustment.

Your last post picture is better. Remember you can go back and label them for discussion. There is no style adjustment to a histogram. I can fix the picture without even looking at it. I remove all of the flats to make the picture pop. David
