HDR Pics

How do you HDR a photo? I have photoshop but not the full install. I can do layers and all that but I am lost in the whole thing.

google: photomatix

this is in the wrong section

Take at least 3 pics at different exposure rates (usually -2,0,+2), and put them together in a program like photomatix. You could also cheat and take one photo and change the exposure in PS to -2 and +2 and then use your HDR program.

first you need to take several shots at different "stops" (vary the shutter speed). 3-stop difference should be enough. The images have to align perfectly so a tripod & remote is a must to prevent camera shake. HDR basically creates a balance from the overexposed & underexposed images.

In Photoshop: File>Automate> Merge to HDR> Browse(select files in order)>OK

After it processes the images you can adjust the historgram

another cool program is Oloneo - it's in beta right now so it's free to try but the results i got from it are great!

There are ways to fake HDR in Photoshop with a single image, but it's actually more complicated than doing it properly.

In case I sounded confusing, here is a link I found:

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography in Photoshop

Jeebus that's a lot of work... checking out a tutorial for CS3 on youtube right now...

I can shoot the auto bracketing with my camera so that's a good start. I will keep researching this...

HKYStormFront · 08-02-2010, 11:45 PM

whenever someone posts an HDR image or asks about them
