Nope, you can save them as full tiffs, PSD's or gifs and a few others too!Open Helicon Focusing run and save (saves in Jpeg only?)
Thanks Jack!Nope, you can save them as full tiffs, PSD's or gifs and a few others too!
My basic workflow is as follows:
1) Process all images in C1 to identical process settings, whatever works best for the group to keep as much image data in tact as possible. This generally means the file is a bit flat coming out of C1.
2) Pull those tiffs into Helicon and autoblend them. Here you can play with the settings, but the defaults are good place to start.
3) Edit the blend mask in HF if necessary (and for my images it usually isn't required). Here you choose a desired single source image from the group, then copy or clone source sections from it onto the composite. Repeat for each source image as necessary to get all parts of the final the way you want it. You can adjust the brush parameters as well.
4) Output. I choose 16bit tiff then uncompressed underneath that, but there are multiple file format and compression options to choose from, then save the composite to my image drive.
5) Next I pull that composite into CS for final editing to desired contrast, tone, etc as well as any local edits, then save it as the final.
Dale, I absolutely love it! Great mood.I don't have much to offer today, but I want to try this new upload process too.

I just looked at it again - no, I'm not being kind!Thank you very much for your kindness, Bill. I'm glad you like it. It's an image that's been in my "undecided fate" file.
I'm with you Bill! I like reflections a lot too just don't seem to do much of them, then again I do live in the desert...Another image from Lake Superior. I just can't resist reflections!
Fits nicely on my 17" laptop. Looks good too. Was that taken at the overlook on top of the hill?Let me try 3000 pixels wide. Looks like Pano's work really nice at this setting
No mirages I just get hallucinations :ROTFL:Well, Don, perhaps you get mirages instead?!
