Re: HDR with RAW

Everyone does HDR a little differntly - a diffent mappping of a high DR image to a jpg 8 bit. By HDR effect, i tink we usually mean that local adjustments are made to brighter and darker areas of the image, a bit like dodging and burning.

That said, if you like the Pentax flavour of HDR, make sure you save a jpg in camera. I've noticed that these are pretty good in some cases, and the K1ii will auto align the 3 images, giving much sharper results that some raw developers *coughlightroom*.

Here's one, in camera HDR was better than what i managed in LR. Maybe my LR skills need tweaking?
