Background changes to light light grey instead of white

Post by Gustav Burman »

I am shooting products images and merge these images in Helicon Fokus 5.3. All images backgrounds are overexposed, because I want nice white background. :P

When Helicon runs the merged image, the background becomes light light gray. :roll:

Does anyone know how to fix that? :)

I would suggest you to disable brightness adjustment in Preferences/Autoadjustment.


Most probably the program changes brightness to fit the first image in the stack and this makes background a bit darker.

Hi Stas Yatsenko!

Thanks for your answer!

I still struggle with the white bakground. They seem to have perfect overexposed white background, but when I merge them....

I have 6 images, do you want to try? I can e-mail you the pictures. :)

Hmm.. We can't see any difference between background in source images and background in resulting image. I would suggest to disable brightness alignment and experiment with different methods (B,C) to see the difference.
