Hey. I'm trying to fake HDR in Photoshop (so I don't have to download software or a plugin), using only one shot (as opposed to the supposedly necessary 3 or more.) I've got some decent approximations going, but I'm wondering if you all have any tips or tricks I should try. The most popular tutorial on the internet is poorly-written and obviously by someone who's first language is not English. I'd be worshipful of anyone who could chime in and point in me the right direction. :love:

Ya know, I haven't messed with HDR at all. :( So I'm completely useless. lol Hopefully someone responds to this, because I'd love to know how to do that too!

Very cool. I know there must be three photographs, underexposed, overexposed, and then normal exposure. But after that, I'm at a complete loss. lol

i wish i could help about the hdr.... great features!!!
I played around in photoshop yesterday with a stock portrait and got something similar to HDR photography. Don't know how useful this might be but this is what I did:

Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask

The amount was rather high, the radius had a higher value than the amount value and the threshold was at 0.

In the image I played around with the values were: Amount: 79% Radius: 33.6 pixels Threshold: 0 Levels

See if playing around with those values gets you your desired effect.

See, I'm trying to cheat and not use 3 different exposures. I JUST came up with a formula I think is pretty good. If nothing else, it really makes pictures *pop*. Don't know what it'll do for your stuff-it's already pretty "poppy." Anyway, I'm gonna put my tut soon. :D

I think starting with the Unsharp Mask is a GREAT idea for lots of images. I'm definitely gonna play with that! :blowkiss:

Thank you so much! Hey, if I figure out the HDR myself, I'll share my findings with everyone. :)

lol Ya know - I think the best stuff is the 'experiment and see' kind of thing. I get most of my best results by veering off the tried and true course, and dabbling here and there. I bet what you've worked out is so cool!

I'm suppose to be working on my next tutorial for AP Magazine... but instead, I was bad, and just finished up a new piece I'm about to post. LOL I'm such a MASTER PROCRASTINATOR!!
