HDR...whch type of program do you use?

[casil403]

I have to say that this week while doing a lot of HDR, and combining HDR shots with a tripod used and others I took hand held, Photomatrix wins hands down in the hand held shots. Dynamic photo does not perform well with hand held shots as you have to manually align and it sucks at it.
Photomatix gives some leeway for shots that are off slightly where DP doesn't.

That's been my experience anyhow.

Interesting observation. I take most of mine handheld because I'm often too lazy to stop and set up the tripod. Bad habit and I should stop doing it as it will produce sharper photos I'm sure.

I use Photomatrix all of the time but I take different approach. Photomatrix is only combing the images for me. I export as a TIFF and do all of my post processing in Photoshop.

Photomatrix and then post in Photoshop

What do you mean by 'combing' the images?

i use Photomatix Pro 3. seems to work well for the more subtle style of HDR processing i prefer. i also occasionally use ReDynaMix, a $16 plug-in from the same people that make DynamicPhoto HDR, that creates a "pseudo-HDR" output from a single image file. it uses the same basic slider controls as the full version, but you have to be careful with it, because it really pulls out a lot of noise, but if used with a light touch, it can produce some pretty decent results.
