HDR Tutorial

Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Flickr, might have noticed that I recently started posting more and more HDR photos. In case you haven’t heard of HDR (high dynamic range) before: it’s a technique to enhance the dynamic range of a photo, which results in more details in both dark and light areas.

To start with I’d like to point out that you can achieve HDR like effects with just a single photo. The perfect tool to achieve this kinda effect is Topaz Adjust ($49.99). It gives you full control over exposure details and color and really makes your images pop. I will post a follow up tutorial on how to get the most out of Topaz Adjust. However in this tutorial we will focus on how to create real HDR photos based on three differently exposed photos.

HDR Basics

As mentioned most HDR photos are more or less a composition of three photos, each of which taken at different exposures (usually -2 stops, normal, +2 stops): the underexposed image provides details in the lights areas, the overexposed one details in the dark areas and the correctly exposed variant is responsible for the details in the mid tones. In our case I took some photos of a church in my hometown Graz. Churches are a really nice example of how to bring the most out of HDR photography, since normally there will be bright light coming in from the windows as well as lots of darker corners. It’s simply impossible to capture all of the nice details with just one shot. At least with cameras available today. Anyway… here is the footage we gonna use for this tutorial.

The base images with three different exposures

Taking photos

Btw I’d like to point out that you really don’t have to use any of the top camera models to achieve a good HDR photo. Actually any camera that allows manual over- or under-exposure of photos can be used to create HDR images. If you own a DSLR you might be familiar with your bracketing or even auto bracketing feature of your camera. That’s exactly the feature you should use to take the three photos. There is just one thing you should keep in mind: we gonna combine the three photos in a next step and thus it’s really important that they are congruent. Sure there are bunch of different tools to make your photos match (like Photoshop’s auto align feature), but to make sure your footage is as good as possible I really recommend using a steady tripod and maybe even a remote release to reduce camera shake as much as possible. Personally I use a simple Manfrotto tripod and a Nikon remote release.

Software

Photomatix application iconEven though there are certain techniques to create HDR photos in Photoshop, most people I know (me included) prefer another tool: Photomatix by HDRsoft. Photomatix comes as a standalone version or as a plugin for both Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom and is priced between $39 and $119. They even offer a reduced pricing for students, teachers, charities etc. And in case you wanna save another 15%, be sure to use the Photomatix coupon code “BARTELME”. So check it out.

Processing

Photomatix export dialogIn a next step we have to bring the three different images to Photomatix. For that purpose you can either simply open the images in Photomatix or send them to Photomatix directly from within Aperture or Lightroom. In Lightroom just select the three photos, right click and choose “export - Photomatix” in the context menu. This will bring up a dialog with a couple of different options. Make sure you select “Generate HDR image”, “reduce chromatic aberrations” and “reduce noise”.

The last setting is really important, since generating a HDR photo will always produce some noise. Alternatively you can leave this particular checkbox unchecked and remove the noise in later step using a dedicated noise reduction tool, such as Noiseware Professional. Also if you didn’t use a tripod, make sure to check “align images”… actually I keep this one checked all the time, although I always use a tripod. The last checkbox is also kinda nice: this will make Photomatix automatically send the processed photo back to Lightroom and stack it with the three original images. I use this all the time.

Once you click “Export” Photomatix launches and starts processing the images. This may take while, depending on the resolution of your images and the processing power of your computer. After that Photomatix will open a window with a first version of your HDR photo. Although it might look interesting, it’s not the final version yet.

Photo processed with Photomatix

In a next step we have to tone map the photo to reveal the image details in highlights and shadows. After hitting “Tone Mapping” a new palette pops up with a bunch of different options and sliders. Also note that appearance of your photo has changed… in most cases it will look even worse than the previous version. Don’t worry, it will get much better in the next step.

Photo processed with Photomatix

Tone Mapping

Photomatix tonemapping panel Now let’s fine tune the image. The strength slider controls the strength of the contrast enhancement. I prefer to move it all the way to the right. The saturation slider… well increases the overall saturation of the image. Personally I really like vivid images, however you can easily overdo the effect. So play around until you get the effect you’re after. The luminosity control is where it starts to get interesting: Moving the slider to the left will result in a more natural look, moving it to the right brightens the image and gives it a somewhat painterly look.

The microcontrast slider sets how much local details are amplified. A higher value gives a sharper, a lower one a softer look. The “Smoothing” setting has an important influence on the look of the tone mapped image. High values give a more “natural” look, low values a more “artificial” look. I kinda prefer the natural over the artificial look… but as mentioned before, this mainly depends on your photo and of course on your personal taste and style.And finally you can define the contrast of your image by adjusting the white and black point as well as the gamma. The more you move the black/white sliders to the right, the higher the contrast of the image will be. The “Gamma” slider adjusts the mid-tone of the tone mapped image, brightening or darkening the image globally.

In the “color settings” section you can fine tune the temperature and saturation of your image and the “miscellaneous” section enables you to even more fine tune how certain parts of the image should be smoothed out. To be honest I rarely use these settings, but feel free to play around. Each photo is different. When you’re done press the “Save and reimport” button on the bottom of the panel to send the processed image back to Lightroom. Here is the final result.

So I hope I could give you a nice introduction to the interesting field of HDR photography. Feel free to play around and post your results to my HDR flickr group. Looking forward to your photos!

Nice “easy” tutorial. :-)

Samo December 13, 2009 at 08:57 PM

While I like HDR for certain scenarios, I think that way too often it makes the photos end up a) flatter than they should be (lack of shadows is also causing lack of a ‘depth’ feeling) and b) way, way too kitschy. It’s like people would be super happy to have access to color in heir photos and are trying to use as many of them as possible.

Dragolin December 13, 2009 at 09:11 PM

nice tutorial, nice vivid colours, though I think the image looks a bit blurry (too much going on)

keep up the good work!

Comstrate December 13, 2009 at 09:22 PM

Sehr schöner Artikel…

Deine anderen HDR-Fotos bei Flickr sind auch sehr schön!

Wolfgang December 13, 2009 at 09:33 PM

Exactly. The problem with HDR is that you can easily overdo the effect and thus make the photo look kinda psychedelic… I prefer the more artistic, yet natural look.

I did not know about HDR before, and your presentation about the technique is interesting. Churches are notoriously very hard to photo, so your final result is truly amazing.

Nicolas Cue December 14, 2009 at 08:53 PM

Nice is awesome , Thanks

cheryl cassidy December 15, 2009 at 02:19 AM

I’m afraid i must agree with Dragolin, the image seems a little overwhelming and not as inviting as i would like. But, I can see where this tutorial could have it’s uses.

bunn December 15, 2009 at 05:36 AM

Awesome tutorial – I am a Canon fan, but thoroughly enjoyed your work. you gave the images a surreal look which was pretty cool. I will def. be checking out your HDR group.

Matt Brett December 15, 2009 at 05:47 AM

Thanks for the explanation of how the HDR effect is achieved. I’ve always been a fan of it, and was blown away when I saw your photo of the church show up on Flickr a few days ago. Had no idea that it was comprised of three photos, but that totally makes sense seeing that HDR is essentially the darkest darks, and the brightest brights. How else could it be achieved? Very cool.

Now, I just need to get me a tripod, as I now have a reason to really get to know my DSLR.

Sie sind Anstoß für mich mir HDR intensiver zu beschäftigen.

Thanks for the tutorial.
I could hardly think of bringing in such aesthetic beauty to a photo taken without proper light!
So far I have known only the default image editors that come with the camera and some regular image editors like photoshop etc.

Thanks again – now photography would be more satisfying.

Paul December 16, 2009 at 09:40 AM

HDR photography is great, but photographers need to be more responsible in labeling it as such. Far too often people think these Photoshopped photos are natural images.

Dan December 16, 2009 at 08:15 PM

I think these images are really super and would love to try my hand at it. The only thing is that I need to get some better graphics software as the one I’m using is about 10 years old. I keep using because I like it :)

PressePoldi December 17, 2009 at 10:18 AM

Danke für das Tutorial! Mit HDR entstehen phantastische Fotos. Ich hatte schon einmal damit probiert, mit einer anderen Software. Die Ergebnisse hier regen mich an, doch einen weiteren Test zu machen. So kann man viel mehr aus den Fotos raushoen.

Ankit December 18, 2009 at 06:23 AM

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial though I suppose a perfection in photography plays a lot more important role than editing.

Hi,
Congrats for this amazing and useful tutorial. One more time, Bartelme is a master!.

On the other hand… anyone has a little tutorial or manual to configure a Canon EOS 400D menu to do HDR combinations?. I want to do HDR works via Photoshop using three or five photos, but I can’t configure the camera correctly. Then, when I try to combine the pics with Photoshop CS4, I only get an error every time I do it!.

Well, regards and congratulations for your work!.

Hans December 20, 2009 at 11:30 PM

Very nice tutorial and easy to understand. I’ve experimented with HDR for a short while and I must say: It’s truly addictive making HDR’s. Postprocessing with Photoshop gives the HDR image more “depth”, but there are lost of settings you can play with.
In your tutorial I found a “bug” in the text for luminosity setting: “Moving the slider to the right (must it be “left”?) will result in a more natural look, moving it to the right brightens the image and gives it a somewhat painterly look.
For the rest: Compliments!!!

Thanks for the hint on the mistake regarding the luminosity settings. I just corrected it.

Sometimes it really amazes me – what can we do with a single, usual photography! It is almost incredible what effects can be put inside just one small piece of reality.

This is a great tutorial – I’m an on-off fan of HDR (some people don’t do a very good job) and it’s fascinating to see how it’s done and how close we can try to get to creating images similar to what we see with our own eyes

Very nice images, very interesting and informative tutorials and discussions and I heartily concur on the choices of plug-ins… Photomatix, Lucis Pro 6, etc. etc.

Wolfgang January 02, 2010 at 08:17 PM

Yeah… Lucis Pro is also a nice tool. However as far as I know it’s not available outside the US and Canada. I guess mainly because of its questionable dongle :/

Linkgyujtemeny H. January 02, 2010 at 09:58 PM

I need some personalized HDR help! I am really struggling with noise in some of my images. I need someone who is well versed in Photomatix to take a look at three images for me to see if it’s possible to get a decent HDR out of it. I don’t care so much about this image, but it provides a good example of what I’m struggling with. Anyone interested in helping

Thank you in advance. H.

This is one of the excellent tutorials that I have ever seen through making photos look like a high definition style. I really appreciate your hardwork and effort of giving us a free tutorial about the HDR.

Thanks!

This is an interesting technique and it can be applied in many cases, as correct light exposure is often a problem.

Awsome result and a nice tutorial – Thanks alot! Looks nearly like a painting so you got that artistic touch in my eyes. I think I will give HDR a try on my next phototour.

Ich habe schon lagen nicht so gute Grafiken gesehen. Finde es immer wieder gut wenn sich Menschen hinsetzen und sich für ihre Arbeit ein wenig Zeit nehmen. Wir arbeiten im Moment auch an ein paar Projekten, das aktuellste ist: werbung zielgruppe studenten
