Hello there,
I went out this evening to capture some images to process as HDRs. Unfortunately, my camera (a Fuji S7000) won't bracket RAWs so the sources have to be from JPEG.
Photomatix merged the pictures fine, and I tonemapped them - no problem, however, when I came to tonemap the photo below I noticed that the preview generated was quite different from the final processed file - in my view the preview had a better appearance.
Looking back at my other files, it seems that this happens every time I tonemap a picture - anyone have any clues? Valdore? Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
