One important point is that with control points the affected area is not necessarily circular. In some cases, the adjustments were subtle but, taken together, they resulted in a much more appealing photo. In the webinar I attended Dan Hughes set about five control points on one image to create a significantly enhanced photo. The ease with which Selective Adjustments allows you to try various options greatly expands the creative possibilities. The importance of this feature can almost not be overstated. The workflow to achieve the same result by layering and masking would be many times slower. The ability to quickly make changes to a localized area makes it possible create attractive images which would otherwise not be feasible. Selective AdjustmentsĪs I mentioned in my previous review, HDR Efex Pro’s Selective Adjustments (Control Points) feature provides a huge advantage over competing products. Nik Software’s written documentation is minimal but these webinars go a long way toward filling in the gaps. In this post I’ll take a second look at HDR Efex Pro and give my updated impressions.Īlso, after studying the book I attended a Nik Software Webinar and got some more good information on how best to use HDR Efex Pro. After purchasing the ebook I found that it did, so I then purchased a copy of HDR Efex Pro. From his description it sounded like the book contained exactly the kind of information I had been seeking. It was shortly after I published my review that I listened to a Nikonians podcast (#132) in which Jason Odell describes his ebook on HDR Efex Pro.
However, the fact that lots of well-known photographers prefer HDR Efex Pro left me scratching my head and wondering what I was missing. I had already purchased Photomatix Pro and had decided to stick with it. If you read my previous review of HDR Efex Pro you’ll know that I tried the product but had decided it was not for me. Odell and Tony Sweet ( see my book review) I decided to give HDR Efex Pro a second look.
