HDRi

[zeealpal]

Just a thought, but is there a way to paint the light in a Hdri image? Like in Photoshop or something? Because I find stitching panoramas together 4 times often results with some ghosting etc... a single ldr that I could paint the hdr part onto would be easier, such as the sun, lights etc...?

AFAIK you can paint (on) HDRIs in Blender (in the image editor). Some people paint their displacement maps this way.

But does that paint the light value part of.it? I know Photoshop can paint on hdri images with colour, but I don't know about editing the light. ill test both

IIRC you can enter rgb values above 1.0 in Blender, but maybe not in all editing fields.

Hm thanks, Ill try out the Blender way, I set Photoshop to 32 Bit, and the paint brush now has a +stops option, -20 to 20.

Alot easier to paint the lighting on a LDR Panorama Esp since I only have a DLSR and Tripod, getting 3-5 nice panoramas to fit to convert to HDR isnt easy.
