HDR Images – Photomatix to Photoshop
On my last tutorial I showed you how to generate a good HDR image from Lightroom to Photomatix then to Photoshop.

HDR in Photomatix Pro 3.2 (Plugin Version)

So many of the videos said thing like, “I don’t use this slider/option so just leave it as it is.” Or, “This is how I use [...]

Picking the Trash – 1 Handed Photoshop
First let me apologize for the lateness of my post. I spent last week reformatting and reloading my computer. And before anyone says I should use a Mac, A) I don’t like them and B) I chose to do the reformat, it wasn’t a crash. Every once in a while it helps to clean house [...]

“True” HDR Portraits (You Know, with Bracketing?)
On my last tutorial I received many comments on how changing the exposure level of a single raw file then creating an HDR image is not a ‘true’ HDR image. So I shot a bracketed self portrait and generated a new tutorial. This is the image that resulted. I am not sure how letting the [...]
