Nice set Jerome. I think that it would be even better if shown in colour, in my opinion.
The first picture has haloes around the edges of the roof where it meets the sky. I presume that you have used a double exposure there due to the extreme dynamic range.
This is good to see what goes on here. I bet they survive well enough until supermarkets start to set up in every town.
I understand. And it is your choice after all.The colors are relatively disappointing, actually. They are washed out by the summer sun and not very harmonious. But I'll go there another time this august.
Actually, I usually prefer color and am not at ease with B&W. The only occasion I used it deliberately was for the Oktoberfest (which I posted in another thread). The third series I posted in this section (The gay parade) is in color..
Interesting. How did you convert to B&W, if I may ask? Perhaps we can find out what it causing this side effect....No. This is just an effect of the backlight and B&W conversion. I don't think I have ever used a double exposure for HDR, actually. I have sometimes taken a series of pictures with that idea in mind to find out that the dynamic range of the raw file was sufficient for my needs.

I use DxO Elite myself (more than 3 years now) but not the film pack. I have come to the conclusion that one should be very conservative with the auto exposure optimization sliders of DxO as they can deliver rather aggressive results, also in color. I have indeed seen similar halos appear in my pictures and have eventually stopped using DxO for those kind of photos. DxO is an excellent raw converter but one should also know its weaker spots, such as this one.By using dxo film pack in photoshop.
Thanks Jerome for giving me the opportunity to try assigning colors for this interesting picture.
A question on the software. Can it work as well on an iPhone?
I don't know. I suppose I could install it on the old iPhone to find out, but I fear the screen is too small for such an app to make sense.
Yes, it works. Need to find a relevant picture where their edits might fit. Could you show one of these market pictures Prior to correction?
Sure!I could, but would it make sense? There is little correction on these pictures, besides levels (and for a few: exposure, as the camera was wrongly set, a recurring ergonomic problem of the camera...) and the app will show its strength on the raw format, which I cannot post here. What about taking a few pictures yourself with a camera supporting the raw format and find out how it works out?
