HF and CZM combo a winner
Posted: 29.03.2009 14:32
Dan and others,
I've been helping Nancy (peteschick) with her work with sea shells. Thought you might like to share something I've found.
It seems that her biggest single problem was (is) significant variations in exposure, I suspect due to (fixed !) lighting fluctuations (which I have yet to solve - very strange). These could range up to 1/3 or even 1/2 stop (similar to) even though camera settings had not changed.
The result was some horrendous halos around major edges, and softness in subtle areas.
So..., thought I'd try using CZM to pre process them just to balance brightness/ colour, and perform 2 pass auto alignment, output them as movie frames 100%, and then present them to HF. (used method A 4/4 as Method B was inferior in both instances)
Wow - check it out. What's going on here?
Dan I much prefer HF and am happy I purchased it, but are there any lessons here for improvements to HF?
For me this will be very useful for my difficult diamond shots.
Cheers
