Title: Photoshop merge to hdr in batch mode?
Post by: Guenter on November 12, 2005, 04:05:43 pm

Is it possible to use the Photoshop CS2 "merge to HDR" function  in batch mode?

I shot a lot of panoramic images in bracketing mode (three different exposures each) and now want to batch generate HDR images.

Hi Guenter,

I wrote a small tool to help batching the merging of many file-triplets using Photoshops "Merge to HDR"-Script. You can find it here:

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions,

Regards,

It does only work under MacOSX, though, but it generates a script which runs under Windows, too.

Cheers,

Photomatix has a batch function for merging an entire directory into an HDR file.

In my opinion Photomatix does a better job of HDR than photoshop as well.  Wayne

Guenter,

I've been doing batch processing of high dynamic range bracketed series for about 2 years now. Also now have a process which is ideal for stitched images. Of course if you are looking for the halos, graying artifacts, and other common "artistically" processed HDR effects, I cannot help you. However if you are simply looking for natural looking dynamic range, then I can.

Script works in CS2/CS3 on Mac/Windows and batch builds undeveloped high dynamic range blended digital negatives from DNG files,

It's part of my FFDD darkroom toolset for Photoshop,

Here is a quick example of dynamic range,
