Not HDR but very pleasing to the eye. Great idea! Im going to try it out eventually.

this is a good tutorial on how to use HDR software with a single jpg. well done.
however, such an image would not be HDR, it would be a post-processed LDR image. HDR compresses high dynamic range images into an image viewed on a computer monitor or in a print. JPG files are already LDR, so a single LDR JPG image cannot be processed into an HDR image. it has nowhere near the dynamic range of even a single RAW file.

sorry if i came across all preachy. i do have a bee in my bonnet about single images being called HDR, but it is a good tutorial.

not a bad tutorial : ) good job but as you said you won't get the same effect as an actuall hdr image. But it's a damn fine result : )

hey, i've never done any HDR before and this is pretty new, glad to learn something new. a question tho, are there any HDR programs for mac? and also, isn't it possible to create this in photoshop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think photomatix has a mac version too.. not sure...
but this tutorial is not gonna give you a exact HDR look...

interesting tutorial ! by taking 3 pictures or more it's better, but with this technique, without make a raw (I'm afraid to do RAW and to not know how to make the post-treatment

well it wont give you HDR but something different
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
this is a great tutorial, but this isn't HDR it's tonemapping, and you don't need to reduce the exposure or increase it in order to do it. You can do it from a single image.
Though, the actual photo isn't really that much more detailed than the processed result - it's merely colored and burnt in certain areas to create the illusion of have been sorta tonemapped.
But well explained

yes I have already mentioned this..

this is an awesome tutorial! i've played a little with HDR myself following your recipe

Decent tutorial. Although in this simplified way you really don't achieve any increased dynamic range. You could accomplish the same with some dodging and burning. What it does do is gives you the tone mapping to give that hdr look. Though you can just put a single image through photomatix and tone map it for an hdr look.
Still, for the content its a good tutorial, easy to follow and concise.

agreed
have you tried with single image? it wont give the same effect
thanks anyways
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have, it worked for me, although I used a RAW file.

thats the difference... majority of deviants they dun have DSLRs!
(If you saw the results of my previous Poll results...)
besides this the older version of Photomatix cant do thejob with one image!
Tone Mapping can only be done on Artizen HDR software...

the majority of deviants who dont have dslr, shouldnt attempt hdr and if they do wouldnt it be best they are shown the very best way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I disagree.
Simply because it's nobody's place to tell who can and can't do something by the limit of their wallet.
Anyone and everyone should be given the best possible information to suit their needs, it's not a gift given to those with the best equipment.
That, in theory, isn't really even adquate state, because who are we to determine what the best way to do something is? Situations vary, that's the fun of it - creating.

hey old friend.
if they want to do hdr thats fine, but if you don't have the equipment then you will want to process it the best possible way to give the best result.
i can determine the best way because i can do both methods and prove which looks better.
simple really.

while processing there could be number of different techs that anyone can follow.. so I cant say which could be the best or easiest.. but this is what I do (sometimes)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and that makes perfect sense, except i dont teach people something which isnt my strong point, and in rebuttle to using the exposure slider or adjusting the brightness, the method you preach is not the best nor the easiest.
and with a 350D i wouldn't see it necessary for you to use this method.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol now this is something different
i am comfortable with this thing to work on my stuff.. 
& its not about teaching people... I am only sharing my techs... so this is not a rule for everyone to follow
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you are totally correct you must do things the way you do them and the way you are comfortable and i do the same.
as i mentioned thanks for taking the time as i know it doesn't benefit you, im just making clear people can produce better results if they have better instructions to follow.
maybe i should talk less and make one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I disagree with talking less thingy
I already mentioned that it is always good to put what you think
& ofcourse people ARE making & producing better results.. but again there is so much to talk about RAW, DSLR, tripod(in few cases) etc etc...
I am waiting for yours

yeah i read your previous journal, and i spent time being amazing by your gallery.
if people dont have good tools they should avoid attempting HDR, but if for some reason they insist on needing to generate poor quality jpeg IDR's with blowouts / bad halos / poor toning, then they should go about it the best possibly way.
if someone doesnt have a fast car, but they change their exhaust and go to drag it doesnt look good against the modified cars.
i dont have a good graphics card so i dont attempt to overclock it to play certain games.
its that kinda principle, but in saying this, to each their own, and if people want to produce poor quality / fake hdr because they feel the need to then going about it the best possible way would always be the best way.
for example, using the exposure slider & saving as 16bit tiffs.
i will have to find some time to write one.
keep up the good work until then.
