Marko, i've got lightroom 1.4, but I havent found it to be any more user friendly than any others so far, but I found out about some killer presets I can DL to it...watch out for trying to DL the programs tho, most of them I've found carry viruses like mad!

Thanks for the advice. I dont know...mabye I won't d/l this shit.

hmmm, you can get LR 1.4 straight from Adobe's website virus free...and I think you can find codes and such from bittorrent...not sayin, just sayin...

check out the comments with those torrents... most people will respond back if there's a virus... and go with the most heavily downloaded first...

but I back up my computer 3 times a week so, I'm a little less cautious about viruses...

So without reading too much of this thread... is there an easy way to achieve an HDR effect on a photo you already have just using some filters and such in photoshop?

And anyone care to tell me? lol

Mr Lefty · 10-22-2008, 02:30 AM

well it's a fake HDR... but if you make at least 3 files of the same pic all at diffrent exposures... one - one 0 and one + then you murge them with Photoshops HDR option.

it's easier in Photomax Pro... at least for me... I'm not great with photoshop... I really need to learn though... I'd like to understand layering and tone mapping better

ceo012384 · 10-22-2008, 02:32 AM

Hmm sounds easy enough. I was thinking of giving the HDR treatment to a couple of the track photos I just posted to see how they'd come out

edit: especially the fisheyed one with the sky background... that would probably be best suited for HDR treatment.

ceo012384 · 10-22-2008, 03:24 AM

Where can I find the HDR option... and how do I 'fakely' change the exposure to make several photos from the one I have... just vary the brightness/contrast/etc?

Mr Lefty · 10-22-2008, 03:29 AM

I don't remember it's been a long ass time since I've tried in PS...

if ya want you can send me a copy of the photo via e-mail... and I'll see what I can do...

ceo012384 · 10-22-2008, 03:31 AM

I've made the three files just by changing the brightness but I can't find the HDR thing. PM me your email I'll send you the file
