HDR help :(.

[Provo]

Would you class this as an improvement?

Ok now the halos are so bad it looks like the bike is glowing like it's about to be levitated by ET.

please don't take offense but is this your first attempt at this technique?

it takes time and lots of work to control the software so that it does what we want.

i understand that cs5 is certainly better than previous versions, but i haven't had time to test it out vs other software programs for HDR.

you might also try a 1 stop difference rather than 2 and increase the number of exposures to more than 3. I know that a two stop difference is mentioned quite often as well as using only 3 exposures. However, that is not written in stone.

Keep working and make small tweeks not huge ones.

No offense taken and yes it is my first attempt, cheers for the tip.
