I really like the way the colors of the light change across the images especially the green of work areas vs the orange of the existing sodium lights along the roadways. I was 300 feet above the river standing on the top of the tower and decided to use long shutter speeds to capture the light trails of the traffic moving through Spaghetti Junction. Louisville’s spaghetti junction at night from atop the western tower on pier three of the Ohio River Bridges Project.Ī couple of weeks ago I climbed up on the western tower on Pier Three to shoot the Ohio River Bridges Project Downtown Span and Louisville at night.

This image too is a three frame bracket merged in Photoshop CC and then opened in Adobe Camera Raw to make most of my basic image adjustments. The sky was very pastel along the southern side of the river and I wanted to capture that feature of the sunset as an additional element I felt it was important to include the clouds on the left to balance the composition. I was also taken by the rose color of the light and how it lit the forms of the piers. I set up my tripod just before the sun dropped below the horizon and hoped to get some good light on the piers that support the bridge. In this image I wanted to shoot from Indiana back across the river to Kentucky under the Abraham Lincoln Bridge.

The shoreline is Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Piers under the Abraham Lincoln Bridge at sunset. Adobe Photoshop CC does an excellent job of merging bracketed images.įor these images, I am using Photoshop CC layers and Topaz Clarity as a final layer to fine tune the contrast and color in the finished images. Rather than continue to work in NIK HDR eFex 2 I know it is time for me to find a viable solution to my desire to shoot and process HDR images. Even though I have used NIK HDR eFex 2 for nearly ten years I realize that it will eventually be obsolete due to advances in both computers and operating systems. I am also experimenting with using Photoshop CC to merge my bracket sets because Google is no longer supporting the NIK HDR eFex 2 software. With the approach of Fall, I have started photographing Waterfront Park and the Louisville cityscape as the season progresses. (I can only offer theories because I don’t know how all the components of the system interact.Sunset cityscape of Louisville, Kentucky as fall approaches.

If the problem is more internal to how the two software packages communicate with each other, or with memory or cache or some such component of the system, it probably won’t show up in these tests. If there’s something incompatible with the way the two handle compression or the TIFF container itself, I hope it will show up in these tests. I expect that both DxO and Adobe software will work with 16-bit TIFFs, with or without LZW compression and any other options you might want to choose. Bring the saved image back up in Adobe: is it displaying correctly? Does exporting to different image formats and file formats (TIFF with compression, TIFF without compression, 16-bit, 8-bit, etc.) make a difference? Then in Color Efex Pro save the work to the same TIFF or to a new TIFF and examine that file to see if it’s corrupted. Is it possible for you to isolate Nik and the Adobe software? For example, if you’re sending an image to Color Efex Pro, try exporting to a TIFF file instead and then bring up the TIFF file in Color Efex Pro.

Since DxO won’t update you on their progress and plans, it seems necessary to break the workflow up into steps to see where the problem is occurring. My experience with the Nik Collection team is the same.
