Fall Bridge Frame with a question - PhotoCamel

LDamm · 12-31-2008

C&C please.

And the question. This HDR had a bad purple lens flair in the upper part of the bridge. While messing with it I desaturated everything but the highlights which got rid of the lens purple and left the wood beams almost B&W looking. But then when I opened it in PS to convert to jpeg, frame (thanks Jay), and sign, it seemed to bring back some color in the wood and oversaturated the trees. I've seen some difference in color between Photomatix and PS before. I think both are set to sRGB. Any ideas

?
Thanks
edit ---although now that its uploaded here its look almost like the original B&W beams I had. Now very confused.

Can't help you with your question but I love the way the interior of the bridge leads into the bright trees.

I can't answer your question but I think you did a great job with tour PP. This is a great example of how HDR can show shadow and highlight detail. Excellent work!

Have to second Jacks great HDR example.

Thanks for all the comments.

I did a little more work on it. Patched and cloned out some of the bright spot at the end. Improvement?

Thanks again.

Both are nice, I prefer the second. Great photo and editing!

Biff Wellington · 01-05-2009

Yes, the edited version is a big improvement.

Brasco · 01-05-2009

I like the second better as well.

I think you did a great job on this!

As far as the color issue goes, it can be a few things. Do you have your Photoshop set-up to proof mode?? What is your colorspace in photoshop set to?? I pretty much always use adobe 1998 in photomatix and photoshop. Then I convert the image to sRGB as the last step for the web.

Best,
Jay
