Hi, I am playing around with HDR merging, XT-5, 16-80 at 16mm.  The first photo is bracketing in camera and the next photo was done merging three photos (three stops apart) using Capture One.  Both were edited using Capture One.  I thought the end results were both good; however, I thought the HDR merge in Capture One provided more DR, better color resolution.  I thought the in-camera merge was a little flat.  Agree?

Here is the photo using Capture One to merge three photos.  This is a grassy marsh near Bethany Beach Delaware.

I prefer the in-camera merge, more natural all round and more pleasing colours.

Last autumn I took a few shots with a fisheye lens at each location before wrapping it up. These landscape types came out well, I think. Anyone got tips on fisheye lens landscape motifs? (X-E4  with 7Artisans 7.5mm)

wanted to get someone's opinion........I took a photograph in poor lighting and I'm trying different editing techniques.  The first photograph is an underexposed jpg.  The second is an edited version of the same RAF file using Capture One.  The third one is an edited version of the same photograph, except it's a HDR merge of photographs with varying exposures.  Did I gain anything by using HDR or does the regular edited version look OK?  I thought they looked pretty similar.

@MARRIEDGUY9, Are you up for considering something entirely different?

This image you posted really makes me think of Ansel Adams zone system approach for black and white photos as well as for toned photos such as platinum toning. I believe this one would make an excellent toned image (uh, but not sepia) if you wanted to concentrate on bringing out shadow detail without destroying the brighter highlights.

    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software  to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
    • How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
