Group by EV question

Hi All

I have a 24-shot panorama that I shot at +2. 0 and -2. I imported all 72 files into APP and grouped by bracket. I then rendered and got 3 renderings, but all had the same tone range. I'm not sure whether I should expect and over exposed, normal and under exposed result 9what I understood), or is the software doing the exposure blending for me

Regards

Mark

Re: Group by EV question

It seems you want the HDR done manually later in another software so you chose 3 layers to be rendered. Switch off the color correction to none http://www.autopano.net/wiki/images-en/d/df/Color_disabled.png in this case.

It seems you have that switched ON "auto setting" or HDR setting, the latter 2 should be used if you let APP blend the hdr for you & give a single image only.

Note: the color correction button also changes contrast & brightness & thats what it did in your case.

Re: Group by EV question

There is 2 approaches, let the color correction turned on by use the check box : optimize by group. This will ensure that every image belonging to the same layer will have been color corrected, but no color correction will be done between picture from different layer.
Other solution, no color correction.

Re: Group by EV question

If you choose to use color correction and activate "optimize by layer", you need one fix / yellow anchor in each layer.
