I have abandoned Adobe in my workflow with the Theta Z1:
DualFisheye for brackets > Exposure X6 for chromatic and defringe > Theta Stitcher > AuroraHDR > Topaz Sharpen or Gigapixel depending on use
Thanks Mcworen,
how can you have abandoned adobe if you use the ricoh sticher?
Ricoh stitcher for DNG is only for Lightroom
I suppose you use Aurora HDR on the assembled image
Are you happy with this software ? (I had spotted him too but not tested)
There are easy to follow instructions to convert the stitcher to a standalone app so you’re not stuck with Adobe software. I use Exposure X6 to fix chromatic aberration and fringing because it offers better correction than Lightroom, then I use AuroraHDR before stitching to create the HDR from the brackets. AuroraHDR is the best HDR software there is in my opinion and it does a better job than DualFisheye.
I was very surprised that you work on windows and with the ricoh theta stitcher because from a discussion I’ve created here it seems this was OK on Mac but not on win 10
So I’ve searched again and found a good solution
(I’ve posted my result here
Well
I will test exposure x6 and aurorahdr
You’ve excited my curiosity!
Can you just say me what is you method to make you bracketed shoot?
Thank you very much
You help is really appreciated
I use the Dual Fisheye Pugin to take 9 brackets at -1EV then Exposure X6 for defringe and export to tif. Then combine the tifs in AuroraHDR and balance colors and lighting and export to tif again. Stitch, then use Gigapixel to enhance and export to jpg.
