Greetings,
may be some of you can help with that little problem.
Example:
I shoot a 3x exposures handheld . Back home I wanted to add a subtle HDR setting to the scene, but because I did not use a tripod, Photomatix did not align the 3 pictures nicely. So I went to photoshop.
1. opened a new document
2. opened all three Tif and dragged them into the center of the document, so they appear as layers in the document.
3. chose edit/auto align, reposition only, PS proceeded aligning based on content. Afterwards the pictures were moved to the left upper corner away from the center
4. I croped out a bit from each side to be on the safe side, and safed all 3 tif's
5. Back to photomatix, but still the picture looked the same, misaligned, literally unusable.
Now, the handheld misalignment must be minimal. I do have a steady hand.
My question is, how can I fix handheld misalignments of multi exposures prior to sending files to Photomatix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple of good shots, that I could not use in this particular workflow if there is no solution. If there is anything else that can be done other than using a tripod, let me know please!
Best,
Georg
