H5 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 As Stew says, what a difference. You can tell it is more like how it should look. That's what confuses me with photography - I can see things, but the camera doesn't see it in the same way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm not the biggest fan of HDR, sometimes images look to much like CGI graphics, here's my attempt: If you have Photoshop Elements 6, there are some cool things you can do to RAW images. Here is cut out and below is glow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Luke Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I know how to make HDR images by taking multiple bracketed shots on my camera then having Photoshop work its magic to create and HDR image. I'm not sure how to create HDR images from one shot though in photoshop, as mentioned by a few people in this thread. Could some kind soul post up a quick guide or point me in the right direction?

Chesterfield Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If you have taken the shot in RAW mode on your camera, then you will usually find that the exposure setting can be adjusted on the existing image before playing with it in photoshop. My Nikon takes raw images in NEF format, when I open these in Photoshop, Nikons software opens up first, allowing me to make the adjustments (exposure) then click open - when it opens in Photoshop it opens with the changes I just made in the Nikon software. I then save this image as "under2.jpg" (for underexposed 2 stops), then repeat the process adjusting for the next image - under1.jpg, and so on until I get the required number of photos at the required exposure stops. If its just a single JPG file I doubt it can be done. Once the detail in the highlights has been blown out, it cant be put back in afterward on a flat JPG image.

redzed Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not sure how it works in Photoshop, but for Photomatix you can just save 3 different named versions of the same photo, and start the creation process, you are then reminded that all 3 versions of the photo are the same exposure and asked if you would like to save then as bracketed shots and you can even select the bracket between 1/3 stop and 4 stops. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
