Manual alignment HDR software?

timstone · 04-05-2010, 05:27 PM

Just wondering if there is software to make HDR's that will allow me to manually alight images. I took a series of pics earlier but for some stupid reason left my tripod mount at home so I had to hand hold the shot. I can easily go back and reshoot it cause it's in my own town..but if I can find software that will let me do the manual alignment I might not have to go back.

Dynamic Photo HDR will allow manual alignment in addition to automatic alignment.

Photomatix allows 2 different kinds of automatic alignment for handheld or for tripod use, but doesn't have any manual method as far as i can find. The automatic methods work well i think, but i have occasionally had photos that wouldn't liine up for either method.

Try FDRTools Advanced or Dynamic Photo HDR. Both allow for manual alignment of images. Both have trial downloads. Photomatix doesn't offer the manual option.

I don't know if it is better, but it sure is easier to use and gives great results.

I use easyHDR Pro, and it has Manual and Auto alignment functions. Seems to work well for most of my requirements, and is about a third of price of Photomatix.

Also enjoy the LDR function (single image pseudo HDR) which has been a quick way to improve photos with slightly too much range leading to either too light or too dark extremes.
