uhm, to my taste with this source the winner is pseudo HDR

I agree, the pseudo HDR is better. The brightening on the last one washes out too much color.

amended the "SpecialBrightening".

Definitely better on this last try in brightening. But I love your results pseudo HDR. I'll have to learn to use it.

I want to share my good news - I've got a camera, I'm delighted, now I can stop being a pirate!

RKJD, congratulations for your new camera.
Could you identify by post # where did someone here mention smoothing?
Just to point to and clarify the meaning in the context.

Dinasset: I think your adjustment on the brightness fixed the image nicely! I see that the pseudo HDR looks nice on several of the images you have shown here as does your Special Brightening. There isn't one way for everything.

Thankyou dinasset.

Thankyou dinasset. The post was Post subject: Re: new filter "TexturizeByColourArea" (updated) p41

ok, so better you move this point under that thread, this one is only for my extemporary plays
anyhow, if you are referring to post #401 on page 41 of that thread I think animicule was referring to roundness
but as I said better to move there the question

(as you can see, the ancillary function for White Balance has removed the color cast)
the noise should have been removed before, but I used the source image as it did come out from the camera

All of those images were nice to start with but were improved by your procedures. The dark areas and shadows were lightened and more details in the images were seen. Have you finalized your Pseudo HDR?

That is very interesting how you were able to do that, and make it look realistic. Will you explain to us how you did that?
