This was my first HDR from this software.  An excellent start.  No halo's and excellent rendition so far.  I took  a series of 3 images - by hand and holding breath - there was a slight misalignment of course between the three of them.  This is the result.  It is of the loacal church in a Welsh village called Llanfair Clydogau, in West Wales.  Just a small community and I run the village photo club.  I also do editorials on freeware software programs at http://www.techsupportalert.com/.  One of them was on the HDR freeware that is available.  But they as yet haven't come as close as this from the experiments I am doing. 

Not sure how you insert an image here yet, so attached it

Not a bad first attempt, I would recommend maybe pulling the detail slider to the left a bit, I have found that on areas with lots of detail, such as the walls on the church, they just tend to look oversharpened if you up the detail too much..

I realised that when studying it.  So far I have thrown load of images at it and am pleassed with the way it handles and has been designed.  The only problem I had was when I double clicked the Tone Map link, when I should have single clicked.  It froze the computer and I had to close.  It has handled all the Raw and JPG's. Will get around to publishing them for your comments.

Thanks for the advice.

Pretty new to photography in general and I do not have a DSLR camera. I have a Canon S3is Powershot which out of the box cannot create RAW files. But there are some ways around that 

Very first attempt with it, and tried to go something that was bit out of the realistic range.

Its slightly on the OTT side, but not bad for first attempt.  It seems an unusual image to start of with, a bit over green it seems.  As for the camera I don't have a DSLR either, I use a Fuji 5600 for my sins and that was stretching the pocket.  My wish would be a DSLR and some decent lens's.

Here are some HDR of water I took last weekend in the Welsh hills.  I think the second was a tad over done.

There is now a group on Flickr for sharing your Essential HDR creations - www.flickr.com/groups/essentialhdr/

Please add your images to this group - provided they have been created with Essential HDR / Wukong - then you can link to them from here and add comments either here or on flickr.

Thanks.

Thanks Shipley!

I made this panorama the other day with Arcsoft Panorama Maker and was pretty pleased with the result. It was made from 2 jpegs, and shot with an elderly Nikon Coolpix 4500 a few years ago.


Then I thought to run it through Essential HDR, and this was the result:



I was very happy with the result.

Both produced by Essential from 14bit RAW originals using Active D-Lighting "High".

WestLothian, nice pictures. The second image has a flying bird in it so I assume it is produced from a single raw file, not as 3 file merge?

By the way, in case you are not aware, Nikon's D-Lighting is actually a competing tonemapper to our Detail Revealer technology. We think DR is more effective in the computer software implementation (take it with a grain of salt because on this topic we are biased).

But D-lighting has an in-camera implementation (that is to say its algorithm is probably simpler compared to DR) that can be convenient if you do not have a computer with you.
