Dynamic Photo HDR

26 Dynamic Photo HDR


On the image below the car moved from point 1 to point 2. These are two different exposures
overlapped:

This will create a typical "HDR ghost" on the final HDR image, that will look like this:

To remove Ghosts we have added very powerful but simple to use Anti-Ghosting Mask feature.

The process is straight forward. You have to first align images then use the Paint Button to paint a
mask over all ghosted objects.

Paint over the ghosted object with the brush. You don't have to be precise at all, but make sure all of
the ghosted object is inside the mask. You can change the Brush with the Brush Size slider.

Note: You have to paint over BOTH objects, in our case the car instance in place 1 and also in place


  1. The HDR merging process will then itself decide which instance to keep and which to disregard. If
    you paint over only one instance, the car will still look ghosted!


As you see on the image above we painted also on the object that is in front of the car (traffic sign)
even that it is in both images on the same place. Don't worry, this will not remove the object from final
image!
Don't forget that objects do have shadows that needs to be masked as well!
