So the new laptop has arrived and I've got busy with Photomatix and GIMP. Particularly GIMP which I've not really used much before. I've obtained some scripts to replicate some of the effects I used to use with Picnik- Ortonography and Vignette, mostly. I even still dip into Aviary in Flickr when it suits.Both Photomatix and GIMP run faster than on my old machine (even when it was at its best) but not quite the breakneck speed that I was perhaps expecting but it's ok, I'm happy with the step up. I'm still not entirely happy with how Photomatix operates, though. It comes up with a preview image which you tweak before instructing it to process the final image. The problem is that the final image doesn't match the preview, which is no end of frustrating. Can anyone recommend any other good HDR software? Photomatix is great but it does let itself down in a big way with this one issue.
As for the images that accompany this post, they're more examples of HDR efforts around la Sagrada Familia and one more atheist's love affair with the buildings of a religion he doesn't subscribe to. Christianity does provide some good photo ops, I'll give it that.
