The problem is that once its 255 white in the raw file its never going to be anything else and a ND grad does extend the range to cope with that (but not all the way as I found here). I think for belt and braces its 7 frames of bracketing and tone mapping. I have Photomatix Pro 3 but have only used it once. I think a combination of SEP and tone mapping would be great for a monochrome workflow but its starting to get long winded. Maybe for level 3.Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-68319215363898615852011-11-21T22:13:10.157+01:002011-11-21T22:13:10.157+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-37151647612885933022011-11-21T21:41:55.844+01:002011-11-21T21:41:55.844+01:00Interesting. I haven't used a grad' filter...Interesting. I haven't used a grad' filter, I got a big stopper in March this year and apart from a deep red for mono work never really used filters - so this has been informative. How do you rate the grad' filter in ACR - which I have used occasionally as compared to the real thing?JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.com
