REVOLUTIONARY HDR software
Posted: 15 Jul 2010 at 12:54 GMT
Hey Guys,
I,ve tried many of the HDRs softs out there (Artizen HDR, Dynamic Photo HDR,HDR Photostudio, Enfuse and of course Photomatix, which is the one I use).
But, in my opinion, this new software will be a break point in the architecture/360s/general HDR photography.
Give it a try:
www.oloneo.com

cheers,
Pablo

What is it that makes you such a fan of oloneo?

I downloaded it and it works wonders especially on the individual adjustment.

After the beta expiration, how much will it cost?

Thanks for sharing this great software, you should try it Doug smile

I would add my WOW!s too.

It looks very good and if it will have also CA correction implemented will be, with no doubt a great success.

I will play with CA correction before and after, but CA correction nativelly implemented is a must, especially when open the RAWs

As of my findings, besides the XP SP3 required seems that also a SSE enabled processor is required too.

David I have no idea how much it will cost. The beta will expire on October 1st as you probably saw.

Dorin, it would be very nice if they add this CA correction (I didn´t try the raw developer yet). Anyway, my interest is about HDR and you still can convert the raw files with your favourite Raw converter (making the CA correction) and then use the converted tifs.

Cheers,
Pablo

Thanks for reply, my interest is now for the best RAW developer I can find, for now I'm using DPP with CA correction for the Photos I take with Canon 350D and Sigma 8mm wich is already very good, I didn't compare it with ACR, but I not think that the ACR can be visible better than DPP.

Seems that this new software does a visible very good job at extracting and tonemapping from a single Canon RAW but lacks at the CA.

Totally agree with you Dorin. The new engine of ACR (same as lightroom 3) is finally really good. It surpass DPP in the noise reduction, specially at high ISOs, and definition now is equal to that obtained in DPP. And is far better regarding to the local brushes adjustments you can do non destructively (auto mask is amazing). Anyway, I had to pre set the camera calibration tones to obtain a similar starting point as my jpgs previews on the lcd of the camera.
The Recover highlights and fill shadows functions are also better than DPP. The only problem is a color shift whith recovering highlights in some cases.

Cheers,
Pablo

I won't be home for another week to try the beta, but I was looking at the Features List and didn't see anything about batch processing.

Is there a batch processing feature in the beta?

For the moment,
No mac version
No batch convert
No CA correction
No way to save recipes

Hope they work on this for the final version

Mmmmhh
The final converted image it´s a little different from that what you see in the edition window...
Anyway, here´s a comparison between Photomatix and Oloneo

Not that good as I saw while in the edition window, but better than Photomatix recovering the lights without big halos. Probably mixing both we can get a very good result.

I tried nick, but I found it really slow to work and the results weren´t that good for me (probably I have to learn how to use it). This program it´s really easy to work with.
