By definition you don't like HDR you like Tonemapping.

However as right as I think Bynx is about the core concepts of HDR I find it amusing you're complaining about personal attacks while telling people they have their heads up their ass and they don't get it.

But where is the line drawn between a true HDR image and one that is too tonemapped? I mean, I can make an HDR photo out of one file. It'll look like ****, but it's still an increase in dynamic range. And I can do that with tonemapping.

Is there really any objective way of knowing? That's what people are getting at. If we exclude certain photos from this forum, then it will cause more of a ruckus than when the mods move threads they think are NSFW.

You know, if that's the worst thing that Bynx has to contend with, I'd say he lives a pretty good, if not simple, life. I've seen tone-mapped photos posted and correctly labled, and he damn near wets himself because someone had the audacity to post a non HDR image here...







Exactly.





I'm glad that you feel you've progressed.



You should take a moment to read your responses and you may realize you are doing exactly that which you criticize.

Taking a single raw and making it 3 "exposures" BY DEFINITION is not hdr. Tonemapping a single raw most certainly is not HDR its tonemapping. Unless you're using multiple exposuresto create them then you BY DEFINITION are not creating HDR images. My camera allows for 400% in camera dynamic range capture by using 2 pixels side by side to capture 2 different dynamic ranges to merge into 1 photo. My camera prosuces extended range photos but does not do in camera HDR. I don't understand why people can't get the difference between extended range, high dynamic range, and tonemapping.

With the exception of the one image Bynx posted in this thread, find me a single post in which I've critiqued an image in the same manner that Bynx does, and I'll buy you a car...

It does what?

I say it's not HDR unless it passes through a 32-bit pipeline, and uses at least more dynamic range available in a 16-bit pipeline.

I am unsure if even Photomatix does this, or if they're just applying tone mapping to multiple 16-bit sources.

I've always merged in photoshop as the alignment is better and then tonemapped through photomatix, stylized back in photoshop/perfect effects.

Maybe if they were having "city chicken" for dinner and host arguing that it was chicken and bynx was trying to tell them it was pork.

Second, I'm not trying to do anything more than understand what you're trying to say. Apologies if you find that to be offensive. Unfortunately, I have no idea what "prosuces" is, or is supposed to be...

 

[BlueMeanieTSi]

I don't know what it typed it tried to autocorrect it, I apparently misspelled "processes" and that is what it changed it to, although most people probably would have figured it out pretty easily.

LMFAO. After you calm down, read this post. It's ridiculously hostile.

Okay...

He's mad I agreed with Bynx.

I thought you meant to type prosciutto...
