If you change the temperature in Photomatix, and then you have to merge your photos with the tone mapping result you color will no longer match up. You still can do the correction on the final HDR.)īased on the photo, if you need to correct the white balance, do it now. It you see this happening, use photos without the profile correction enabled. (Small update/note: I have found that removing distortion can create color banding in the final HDR. From my experience it does a really nice job. Lightroom will then remove some of the distortions in your photos. You can also turn on Enable Profile Correction. This can be done either manually, or let Lightroom do this for you. You should always correct the chromatic aberrations. You want to correct the problems on one of the photos and using sync copy the same settings to all other photos. To correct the photos, go into develop mode and select all the photos in your series: You need to correct few problems before starting to combine the shots, as tone maping can make the more visible. So you have your shots, and you have them in Lightroom (you can do this is many other programs, but I use Lighroom 4 here).

It can create stunning results if used properly. There are other HDR software, that can be used to combine photos into HDR, but Photomatix is the most popular and widely used (and also my favorite).
