Workflow advice - DSS to PS

[Willi1972]

Hi all,

I am relatively new at imaging, and I have always been disappointed with stretches that I am able to get from DSS images. I could stretch very little before it started looking posterised. My old workflow was as follows:

1. Stack in DSS

2. Save as a 16 bit TIFF from DSS

3. Open in PS and apply stretch

4. Bang head against brick wall

However, I tried something new tonight:

1. Stack in DSS

2. Save as a 32 bit TIFF from DSS

3. Open in PS and convert to 16 bit

4. Apply HDR settings as appropriate

5. Stretch

6. Smile

Is my new workflow how other people do it?

Regards

Richard
