HDR Portraits?
I have seen tons of these and I am curious if anyone knows of any good tutorials on how to create such images? May 28 09 06:46 am Link show us your best. May 28 09 06:48 am Link XO Photography wrote:
May 28 09 06:50 am Link I was thinking more along the lines of Kutting Edge's stuff Mayhem #839380. That type of HDR.

May 28 09 06:55 am Link A slice of oblivion wrote: Exactly my thought. There are many ways to manipulate an image... or segments of an image to simulate the "look" you are looking for. This does not make it HDR. May 28 09 07:00 am Link Saw the images on #839380 That indeed still is HDR . Layered HDR Tone Mapping is what you speak of.

May 28 09 07:12 am Link Hdr is hard enough without the correct programs, many are out there. ps can do it. I find the best search engine for finding a specific thing is http://www.ask.com I am using a free program but crashes more than it produces but better than ps's 1 thing I found is 1/3 stops are easier for the programs to compute a full stop is to much info. and to get someone to stay still for 20 seconds is more like the problems Brady's assistants (employees) came across in the 1860's. a dead soldier or later a gun slinger is easier to photograph. 3 images are best but you need alot of upper memory to exicute it May 28 09 07:13 am Link You could try Photomatix Pro, they have a free trial. May 28 09 07:35 am Link Photomatix is very good, I use that  May 28 09 07:41 am Link Andrew Chorley wrote: Yep..I agree May 28 09 11:22 pm Link   You can start here with RAW images, then play with the levels. There are also tons of tutorials posted in other HDR threads. Whether it is actually HDR or not doesn't seem to matter. Search HDR.  May 30 09 10:25 am Link I use Portraiture 2 by Imagenomic....or Lucisart 3 ED and SD... with Portraiture 2 you can smooth out the skin and give it the more glamour look....and they with Lucis art you adjust the contrast and sharpness to give it the HDR Look....  I just took a quick snapshot of a Taino Rock that I have in my room...sorry for the dust...it is my cleaning day! lol I just used Lucisart for this image.... May 30 09 11:37 am Link |
