LR/Enfuse Thoughts

Recently I blogged about using the LR/Enfuse plug-in to automatically combine multiple exposures of a scene to create a "realistic HDR" look. It actually seems to be a very hit or miss thing, and I've yet to find any definite pattern as to what works and what doesn't work. Within Lightroom you can group all of your HDR sequences into stacks and then have Enfuse process all of them into 16-bit TIFFs in batch mode. Today I pointed it to 52 such stacks, 265 photos in all, all shot on one day from my D.C. stock photography trip this past spring. Then I went away for awhile... Out of the 52 resulting images, none are worth keeping. They all look hideous. I'll do them manually in Photoshop instead.

    I find that applying some Fill Light and Contrast does wonders with LR/Enfuse's output.  Easy to use and way more cost-effective than dropping $700 for Photoshop.
