DT 3.2.1 on Manjaro
I have a whole bunch of 7 bracketed images. I have tried both HDRMerge and “Create HDR” for the hdr dng files.
The DNG files are different. When I process them I get very similar output but different processing.
Which is the recommended way?
Thanks
My experience is that I get different results with the same processing. I haven’t tried to adjust the processing, but I feel that HDRMerge preserves the colors better.
For the first the DNG is generated by HDRMerge the second is from dt.
I prefer HDRMerge. (I don’t use dt and haven’t read up on what Create HDR does behind the scenes.)
HDR merge does image alignment. I’ve found that even on a tripod, you should still align your images, else some times you’ll get fringing.
HDR Merge for the win.
