hdr

Our most requested photo editing service. This article include information about all relevant factors of HDR editing and how to make your experience with this service as smooth as possible.

SERVICE INCLUDE

  • Blur number plates.
  • Lens-dust removal.
  • Remove people, camera equipment, reflections that are not suppose to be part of the image. It can be photographers shadow, visible tripod in oven door, mirrors, windows.
  • Removing of obvious dirt spots.
  • Add fire in fire place.
  • Blue sky replacement on exteriors.

INPUT REQUIREMENT

  • The general idea is to have 5 exposures, where one is the main exposure, then use bracketing and have 2 under-exposures and 2 over-exposures to complete the exposure profile.

  • The center exposure should be +1 EV and then the bracketing is 1 or 1,3 EV in each step over/under.

  • Ideally uncompressed RAW (JPG, DNG also works)

  • The image size from 12 MP to 16 MP (No need for larger files, it will add no extra quality and only slow down the process)

  • It is in many cases recommended to use flash to fill the image, even some scenarios or styles may lead us to use less or no flash. Make sure that the bounce point is outside the frame of the shot. The way to make the supporting exposures and also how they are edited, vary greatly and depend on Style, Variable and what type of enhancement is to be made.
