    @wm17959 Před 5 lety +1

    Thank you for the great video! I'm currently using PhotoMatix Pro 6 and I'd like to know how to manipulate the 3 individual images once they are merged. Is it possible to bring out more of the dark exposure or the light exposure if so desired? I'm just curious about limitations because PhotoMatix is quite a versatile program.

  • @NotFinancialAdvice
    @NotFinancialAdvice Před 5 lety +9

    Love this... I prefer to do 95% of my editing inside ACR so this is exactly the way I would prefer to do HDR too. Thanks!

    • @infodawg
      @infodawg Před 3 lety

      I just re-discovered ACR after not messing with multiple exposures for awhile, but its suiting my workflow again based on what I'm shooting. Love ACR though, so much more responsive than lightroom.

  • @kirstenwalker487
    @kirstenwalker487 Před 7 lety +1

    My photo becomes whiter and unsaturated after the 32 to 16bit conversion (even if gamma and exposure are set on 1 and 0). Is there a way to fix this?

  • @alleyesphotog
    @alleyesphotog Před 4 lety +2

  • @MLC48
    @MLC48 Před 6 lety +3

    Thanks so much for this way of doing HDR in camera raw and photoshop. Everything worked except that in my Photoshop CC 2018 when I clicked the "OK" in ACR, the image opened up in PS, but it wasn't a smart object, just a layer and it was back to being a 16 bit image. I didn't have to go back to ACR and so it didn't matter.

    • @jriverat
      @jriverat Před 5 lety +3

      I have exactly the same problem..., did you find how to fix it?

    • @jzader
      @jzader Před 4 lety

      I have this problem too. I'm bummed, because this means I can't re-do my changes in Camera Raw until after I convert to 16 bit. Commenter Gabriel Albaladejo-San Inocencio above notes: "In Adobe Camera Raw 9.10, directly applying the Camera Raw Filter to a 32-bit Photoshop document has now been disabled to prevent unexpected visual mismatches between Camera Raw and Photoshop. The Camera Raw plug-in always processes a 32-bit source image or Smart Object to a 8-bit/16-bit result."

    Do you have any idea why it is not loading in smart object? I do the same as you in 32 bits and it just open a normal image with the caméra raw setting already applied to it in a destructive way.

  • @AlexKolotos
    @AlexKolotos Před 3 lety +5

    After the "Tone in ACR" modifications have been made and I click "ok" when the resulting image opens it is in 16 bit and the changes do not appear in a smart filter. What am I doing wrong?

    • @shutterdogg1102
      @shutterdogg1102 Před 3 lety +7

      The workflow was changed a few versions back. Use Lightroom's "Merge to HDR" feature to create a DNG file (Lightroom > PhotoMerge > HDR). Then open that DNG file as a smart object in Photoshop (Lightroom > Photo> Edit in > Open as Smart Object in Photoshop).

  • @crabflag
    @crabflag Před 8 lety

  • @Brummiemartin
    @Brummiemartin Před 6 lety +5

    Using PS cc 2018 and ACR does not save a smart object, when it's done. Instead I just get a standard locked 16 bit "Background" layer, from which I can't go back into ACR. Are there any settings that allow for the smart object saving by default?

  • @ThatOneGuyWithAReallyLongName.

    This has been a feature in Photoshop (I think) the first version of CC, and I've really enjoyed the convenience. I do NOT miss having to merge to HDR, save the file as a 32 bit .tif, close the image, and then re-open the file to get it into ACR. Great tutorial as always, Ed.

    • @clearlyed

    Thanks. This was a great tutorial. I am using Photoshop CC2020 and when I click ok, on Adobe Camera Raw (as shown at 8:13) the photo that I had been working on at 32 bits appeared in photoshop as the background layer in 16 bits, not as a smart filter in 32 bits as shown here. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I still liked the process, and it was good to see how to use the camera raw tools.

  • @Djentleman511
    @Djentleman511 Před 6 lety

    Hey I know this a year old or more but hopefully you can answer this question for me.. I'm just getting into Photoshop and creating hdr and I'm curious.. do I have to purchase Adobe Camera Raw separately or is it part of Photoshop? I pay for Photoshop and have never seen acr advertised on adobe's site. So hopefully i already have it. Let me know! Cheers.

    Could you tell me what the problem might be? I do: Automate > Merge to HDR pro, then I choose the photos, tap OK, > merge 32 bits and Tone in ACR. But it DOES NOT appear as a smart object in Photoshop, the way I watched on your video. I do some changes in ACR and give OK, but it still does not open as a smart object in Photoshop! :(

    Great tuto! But my ACR doesn't open it as a Smart Object, don't know how to change that. I can manage that by opening the files in ACR and thinking the "open as smart object" button in the picture preferences, but that changes nothing. The ACR window used by the "merge to HDR" function as shown in the tutorial doesn't allow that. Any idea? (using CC2019)
