Olympus E-M1 Mark II HDR Merge Issues


Recommended Posts

Upon trying to import a 5 bracket image from my Olympus EM1 Mark II (raw files) in raw processing, I am brought to a pretty rough image in Affinity vs what Photoshop merge to HDR is giving me. I understand that these neon lights are very harsh but I am not understanding why I am getting drastically different results. 

I have played with the sliders over and over again in affinity photo trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, if I am. I have tried disabling every option upon merging the HDR images in affinity. Playing with tone mapping, pulling down highlights, etc, correcting the harshness and over-soft effect. Anyone got any leads? 

Thanks, looking forward to moving my editing workflows towards Affinity.

Hi steve500 and Welcome to the Forums,

I've seen a few cases of where for some reason we don't handle these type of highlights too well, but nothing for your model of camera.  Are you merging from RAW files or are you processing the images 1st and then stacking them?
