Double sun images in HDR

I have recently started to take some landscapes and seascapes using the LR HDR link with Photoshop and I would say that I am having some pretty good results for a beginner in this aspect of photography BUT......
My HDR results in the main are in perfect focus with no evidence of camera shake. I generally use my camera (Canon 5D mk3) in LIve View mode and mounted on a heavy tripod. I set the camera to take three photos automatically +/- 3 stops to the mid exposure value of the scene.
My question / problem is that if I take a sun rise shot everything is in perfect focus but if the sun is in the frame, after applying the HDR process, the sun has a significant "ghost" up to a third of the size of the sun! Also any clouds immediately around the sun have a strange shape and a vivid orange color. Other features within the frame remain in perfect focus. In the individual frames there is no such ghost round the sun and the clouds look fine, all be it that two of the pictures are over / under exposed by intent. Why is this happening in HDR and can I stop it?
To anyone who may be able to help with this I would stress that shots without the sun in the frame are sharp and have no evidence of any ghost or similar defects.
My LR version is 5.7.1 and my operating system is Windows 7 pro

What version of PS CC 2014 are you using?  There was an issue with a couple earlier versions some months ago where auto layer alignment was messed up.  I remember it affecting focus stacking, but maybe it affected HDR creation as well.
Also, the first time I tried to work with your second set of images, using File / Automate / Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop and selecting the individual files on disk, the alignment didn't work, either.  Then I opened the three images in ACR and enabled lens corrections, clicked Done in ACR, then when I tried the Merge to HDR Pro a second time things were fine.  The original CR2s had no ACR settings whatsoever and I don't have a D7000 to have enabled lens profile corrections by default, so no lens corrections were performed, originally, the time the alignment didn't work.
The current version is PS CC 2014.2.2 from Help / About Photoshop...
The metadata in the saved JPGs only says PS CC 2014, not the precise version.

    I’m doing a research for video compression n I need to compress the frame as image, I want to use com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* , but I can’t download the plugin every where. I use JDK 1.5.0 to do my java program. Does any one have a suggestion about my problem? What should I do, so I can use com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*?

  • When shooting source images for "HDR Pro", is it better to using 16 bit TIFF rather than 8 bit JPEG?

    When shooting source images for "HDR Pro", is it better to using 16bit TIFF rather than 8 bit JPEG?

    Yes, you will bracket the exposure.
    Take as many shots as you need. Take a normal shot, underexpose twice or even three times and then overexpose twice or three times.
    That's how the camera will register all teh details in the image - in the highlights, in the shadows and in the midtones. When you bracket, remember to change shutter speed (if you shoot manual, that's what I do), not the aperture because you will end up with different depth of field.

  • Merge Digital Images with HDR

    A recent issue of PCMagazine, 6/27/2006, had an article entitled "Cool Photo Projects" which explained merging digital images with HDR. It mentioned that Photoshop CS2 will do that. Can it be done with Photoshop Elements 3? If not, is there a workaround that someone can suggest?
    It does indeed look like a "cool project".
    Thanks. Eva

    I didn't know what HDR was, but read about it here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml
    Seems to me that there's very little you could do in PSE to emulate this, as it's built-in functionality in CS2.
    Having said that, taking a series of identical images, at different exposures, and simply using the best parts is quite possible.

    I need some help. My predecessor created an
    application that calls the "com.sun.image.codec.jpeg"
    package. The client's java installation is the
    standard install and does not include this package.
    How do I find, download and install this in the
    client's environment? Also the client is running NT
    4.0 Workstation. Thanks!What does "standard install" mean? What version of the jre are they using? You can find out by typing:
    java -version
    Packages that begin com.sun... aren't part of the standard API, and aren't guaranteed to be supported -- as you are painfully aware. This particular package was for doing jpeg image I/O. If your client is using jre version 1.4, you can use javax.imageio.ImageIO to do this. If your predecessor was doing some straightforward I/O, the changes could only be a few lines -- more easily done than trying to install non-standard packages...

  • Double buffering images

    HELP!!! lol i'm trying to figure out how to get the whole double buffering thing to work with a picture like a gif image i drew in paint. i can't quite understand anything aobut how to do it. lol i've read some things and looked at some code samples but they all do it with a polygon. i just can't seem to get it right. i learn best from code snipets if that helps. don't give me a whole program i just want some lines that will help me learn it like what i have to import. and other things. i know a little about using images but not a whole lot. if anyone can help it will be appreciated.

    Psst... Tell you teacher that one can read an image with ImageIO, often in one line:
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file_or_url_or_inputstream);(No need for a MediaTracker!) And the resulting BufferedImage (a subclass of Image)
    is easier to work with than Image and has more useful features.

    Ah...you NESTED. That is a NESTED sequence that you have dropped into your new one. when you double click on the nest, it opens up the nested sequence.
    COPY/PASTE...don't nest. Nesting is evil and only should be used in very SPECIFIC instances. But those are rare. Copy and paste next time.

  • Sun image examples won't work

    I hope this is the right forum to post the question, I couldn't find a more proper forum for it.
    I have been trying to get some of the Sun examples working on my newly installed computer. They work as far as to compile and run, but the pictures involved will not show. The path is correct and the pictures are correct. It only uses javax.swing and java.awt which are working perfectly otherwise.
    So, everything seems to work, except for the pictures not showing. Did I miss a part of the installation (since it is Sun code, there couldn't be a problem with it and the compilation is flawless as is running it).
    I have also tried an old applet I made with pictures - it works perfectly.
    I use SDK 1.4.1.
    I have tried solving this for about 48 hrs now...

    found the solution (and I'm really not convinced by the quality Sun issues to the public)
    There are several errors:
    1. on linux the folder WEB-INF must(!) be named in capitals
    2. the line <!DOCTYPE ... is missing in web.xml
    3. the parameter value starting with d:\logs ... should be changed to /var/log ... on linux systems
    4. if you build webpad with ant in a system based on j2se 1.4 you should change the parameter in webpad.jnlp accordingly
    Given all these problems to bring up a first example what does the Sun promise "one click application" stands for?
