Tonemapping an HDRI in Fusion

#1

Hello guys. I am a Fusion newbie. I was really wondering about how to tone map an EXR in Fusion. I gather there is no tonemapping plugin or node and it has to be done using the regular nodes used in colour correction. But it completely beats me.

Here is an EXR that, without editing, looks quite overblown due to intense specular highlights:

I have uploaded it here so that you guys can have a look:

Please advise me how I can get rid of the overexposure and bring out the underlying detail. I am using Fusion 5.3, but I can try the version 6 demo if there is something special there.

There’s two tonemapping plugins for fusion, both free.

Any my tonemapper (uses the same algo as Sven’s but my has additional controls and a simple algorithm as well.
