I became more interested when a DxO-competitor email advert had a display of what appeared to be AI technology for this purpose (AI as with PL “deep Prime”) that would decrease my workflow time interval and effort to the endpoint of a preliminary image to submit to a client. HDR - Backlight correction: strongly lightens shadows under backlighting conditions, while still preserving a natural look.Īre any of these similar enough to what you used? If so, can I use one of these with my additional “favourite” settings, that is, as a “partial preset” upon which to build a new local-to-my-PL preset? I have played a bit with these as I do not need HDR very often – but I had an otherwise “keeper” image that would have benefitted from such and thus I experimented. Restores highlights, strongly brightens shadows, and emphasizes the tone curve HDR - Artistic: Provides a marked HDR effect.

Restores highlights, lightens shadows, and has a reasonable effect on HDR - Realistic: Provides a less-pronounced HDR effect.

Multiple images shot at different exposures, and can be used on both RAW and JPEG files: These single-shot image presets do not require combining

Is redistributed to be used without having to use special software or 32-bit files. This category contains four presets that simulate HDR effects - that is, images with an extended dynamic range but with a tonal range that From the PL4 manual (PDF that I have downloaded as a more useful reference than attempting to find on the web), High Dynamic Range (single-shot HDR)
