- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
And they would be better if you took 3 exposures from the camera...
Not true.
I dont really consider the "exposure" able to be adjusted, sure you can make it lighter/darker, but that doesnt change how much light from shadows are received on the sensor...
If you under or over expose in photoshop, its not the real thing, even if its close, its still not.
You are darkening the highlights and brightening the highlights bascally speaking, you get some noise out of doing that....
If you do it in the camera you get the real pictures, not a photoshopped picture that loses quality when you mess with levels/exposure/curves etc...
I don't think you understand what a RAW file is since you're mentioning using photoshop levels and curves to create the images. None of my HDRs have ever been touched by photoshop. I'm simply creating 3 exposures from 1 RAW file.. yes a RAW file in which there is no loss of data while adjusting exposure, then exporting to photomatix. I've done HDRs with 3 seperate photographs and with 1 RAW file and I've never seen a difference in quality. One RAW file just provides many more options as shown in my example above.
