[HDR Artifacts]

 @All Media Lab I recently tested the Shanghai image with Lightroom and there also these artefact are visible. Also Luminar failed on them (I am thinking about to get the Luminar/ Aurora HDR package). It really looks that only Capute One could well manage it. In the bug ticket the guy mentioned that IrfanView just displayes the embedded JPG made by the camera. I tested this also and it is true. When I disable the loading of the embedded JPG, the loaded RAW image in IrfanView looks similar to the result in Affinity. So this seems to be a tough image. Means for Serrif if they can handle this well, they made a hughe step forward ;-).

Hi David,

I got some feedback on my bug ticket, but it did non solve the issue. So we have to wait for a fix:

@All Media Lab Thanks for the help. I created a ticket in the bug section of the forum. Lets see what will happen. I checked the prices of Capture One and still this is incredible. This is my hobby. I do not like to rent software for private use neither spent so much money on a software :-(.

Here is another example between Affinity Photo and the simple HDR toolk in Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 (left AP, right DPP):

Affinity creates here artifacts arround the sun, I would expect here something like on the right site (please ignore the colors, I am currently in the middle of the processing). I guess somethig is going wrong here. Will now save the result from DPP as tiff and will process it in AP.

@All Media Lab: Could you check the RAW file I uploaded last week?

Hi David,

I attached the one file I now used to finish the picture for the photo book I am currently working on. I processed it in AF over saving it as TIF from Irfanview. During my work here I also had some other samples. I will add them tomorrow. Now I have to sleep ;-).

 

Thanks

Tobias

Edit: RAW Image removed.

Direct update:

Saved the files as TIF in Irfanview and opened it in Affinity and it looks much better:

Hey Guys,

 

I found another issue which goes in the same direction, but is not HDR processing itself. Please check the screenshot below. On the left is the view of the same CR2 file in Irfanview. On the right the CR2 file in Affinity Photo in the RAW development tool. The pink light is burned out, but not in Irfanview. I can not fix this and if I would create an HDR with this as input the result is burned as mentioned above. No movement at all. Comments are welcome ;-).

Hi John, 

 

I know these tut videos and used them usually on the combined HDR image before going into the tone mapping persona. Doing before on the separate images is new to me. 

When I am back at a PC I will post a screen shot of the problem of my Frankfurt image. I had also a link to it on my first post. Look at the street lights at the river on the left. 

The used aperture I need to check also when I am at my PC. 

 

Thanks

Hi John,

But why I then have this also on street lanterns? I will recheck the raw data of my Frankfurt image. I did not see the artifacts in the water when I used the HDR tool from Canon -  which I used in the past before I had Affinity. Of course you can forget this tool, since it can not really merge the 3 images together. They were aquired by hand. I just think that there should be a possibility in the HDR persona to deal with such artifacts. 

I guess a ND gradient filter could also help. Since it would reduce the brightness of the sky and I might not need to use HDR at all. (I am thinking about to get one of these ;-) ).

Hi All,

I thought after using Affinity for a while it is time to register here and post about something I could not find anything on the net. I am got used to develop my HDR image using the manual process shown in the video tutotials from Affinity. I discovered artifacts in light areas of an HDR. Here is an example:

The source are these 3 images:

They are usually purple and I wonder if there is a way to avoid them or if it is something which could be improved in the future. I them also arround street lanterns in my picture from Frankfurt (my home town) Check the picture in the link on the left bottom. 

I really happy with Affinity Photo, but this together with the lags I sometimes have during image processing starts to get annyoing (I have a Ryzen 1600 with 16 GB and a SSD).

Thanks for your feedack in advance.
