Hello everybody,
for creating some nice HDR images i use the software Photomatix Pro (V 2.5.2).
Usually i am using the tone mapping option and play around with the different sliders until i get a nice result.
Below the sliders is a button which allows me to load a setting.
Unfortuantely Photomatix doesn't come up with some nice presets and so i save my own settings.
Now i've the idea if it wouldn't be nice to share some settings here at Renderosity.
Maybe we could use this thread to post some settings?
Here are some settings for landscapes with a dramatic sky:
Strength - 80 (you can set this lower if you want)
Colour Saturation - 60
Smoothing - very high
Luminosity - 5
White Point - about 1.4%
Black Point - about 2.8%
Gamma - Around the middle position
Temperature - 4 to 8 depending on how warm you want the image (higher values results in warm colors)
Highlight Saturation - 6
Shadow Saturation - 4
Micro contrast - 9
Micro smoothing - 9
Highlights smoothing - 28
Shadow smoothing - 70
Shadows clipping - 80
