Improved Clarity Option

[phil68]

Hi Sebastian!

I have installed the last version of SNSHDR with the improved clarity.
I have one question for you:
Why does the picture becomes dark, better said has the same effect as contrast, when I increase the clarity slider?
The older version didn't do that
Regards,
phil

Hi Phil,

The clarity parameter works locally, the contrast parameter globally. The clarity parameter is the most important parameter in SNS-HDR, because all other parameters are dependent on the clarity. New clarity is stronger. Do you think the clarity parameter is worse now? Can you provide an example?

Hi Sebastian!
The clarity parameter is not worse but stronger ...I don't know how the other user see this...
I know that the clarity parameter works locally and you are right that is the base for HDR!
Can you adjust the clarity so that it does not darken? just like in Camera raw, if you could take a look this would be great!
Thank you
Phil

I could change Clarity so that it doesn't darken the image, but then a small halo effect is created.

Oh halo is Not very good
I See so many bad HDR pictures with halos...don’t like that
