Photoshop CS5 Top 5: High-dynamic range photography

[dedrick427]

Is this the same logic behind "Pro Photographers don't use Photoshop" that we heard back in the 90's? Or "Pro Photographers don't use digital cameras" we heard in the early 2000's? HDR is an awesome tool. And just like any tool it can be used improperly. Like taking a torque wrench and beating you in the face.

[applemac1605]

Pro photographers don't use HDR.

[grudingOyster]

Why could you not just create a duplicate layer in the begning ... and yes voice is so painful that I skip a lots of parts :P

[bienvie]

i cud not finished watching this video, his voice is awfully painful :(

[stmahlberg]

@Lynda.com - What I want to know is why am I paying for your service and your giving away lessons? Yes, I know it's not Deke's entire course but it still doesn't make me happy.

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@stmahlberg greed is going to kill you

[vitejose]

Mmm... just reeks with detail...



[byakusharingan25]

I followed the steps but the prompt screen showed manual ev levels? is there a reason for that?

[victor5peru]

i like your voice



[MichaelMartire]

I was joking, you say it a billion times haha.

[ArizonaMMJ]

It's not available in Minibridge that I can find. You have to reveal in Bridge first

[hightowerjared]

Wow

[QaisaraIDRUS]

I feel like shouting, "CAN YOU CUT THE CRAP AND GET WORKING?!!"

[MichaelMartire]

Wait, what does HDR stand for?

[alexandercaicedo1970]

@MichaelMartire high dinamic range

[byakusharingan25]

@MichaelMartire high dynamic range

[ZyaravZany]

i cant get the open on my history?

[ColonelB08]

Great. Thanks for taking the time to offer this to us.

[Chilli0912]

Best one I've seen in HDR and well explained.

[kurdboy500]

Great video for newbies =)



[snifnscratch]

The resulting HDR image looks unnatural. Am I the only person who wants natural-looking shots? Sometimes HDR isnt appropriate - it looks like the whole image is faked

[GSFDR]

Too complex. You're talking too much and explained absolutely nothing. You are just displaying how smart you want everybody to know "you are".

[SkiesAlight]

Your voice makes this video even worse

[Casev07]

@SkiesAlight i bet ur face looks even worse

[SkiesAlight]

@Casev07 yes because your cool. Mocking someone's looks without knowing what they look like. nice one (Y)

[djcondra]

Fucking ridiculous. Theres ten thousand ways to make a photograph look fucked up with photoshop. True HDR combines multiple exposures to create a clear, balanced, dynamic image.

[Shykaary]

The final result doesn't look real. I think it's freaking cool.

[yazzz01]

i'm a photographer too, a french one, and i already knew this style of picture but not how to do it ... it was a great pleasure and a great moment for me ... Thx a lot

[disignify]

Este tutorial es muy bueno me ha ayudado mucho para retocar imagenes

[disignify]

este tutorial es muy bueno

[disignify]

@disignify 

[rawkidd2006]

the first picture, that couple, looks much better as original than the hdr crap version.

[ClankyRochet]

look like dave hill style

[reeldeelpeel]

Yeah, I agree with most people below. It looks very unconvincing. Most of the light is coming from the side of the barn farthest away from the camera, and yet the poles' sides opposite of the light sources are lit up as if there's a soft flash or something. And the differences between one side of the wall behind the farthest pole and the other are totally different saturations. Pay more attention to the realism of the photo in your tutorials before posting.

[CaterpillarSocks]

:00 - :1:00 He moves his arms alot.

[scaramonga1]

Ruins and destroys pics

[darthaardvark]

I think its over done on purpose for demonstrational purposes

[09131982able]

Who enjys spnding 4 hours trying 2 mask out a soft/complex boundary frm a bckground ? Who likes to loose anothr day fxing holes in pctures by manually cloning around, whn it could be done in 3 seconds, automatically.hahh..

well,evry1 hve cre...ative mind …. so real photoshoper , designer is save with has unique talent ;) so cheer up !...@habs#13...@~>~~)~~

[adijess1]

OVERDONE....

[vidgamer9872]

I'm not a fan either

[Maarttiin]

I wasn't expecting much from this tutorial, but you did it amazing. Thanks.

[OChristFollower]

INCREDIBLE

[murralsee]

looks like crap. im so sick of these overdone HDR shots. I have done lots of HDR shots but i make it look much more natural

[assmunch1]

@murralsee I totally agree! It looks like shit and he thinks it is great! What the hell is wrong with people's vision/perception.

[octotuts]

@murralsee If you want natural pictures then take a normal photograph. HDR isn't meant for natural pictures. When taking an HDR picture, one should try to make it look as fantastic as possible and see what different effects they can come up with. There are no rules; just try to get a cool looking picture. That's the beauty of HDR.

[prodigalsunn337]

@octotuts HDR is not just for the surreal. HDR has been going on for a long time. Many people bracket with large format film photography.

HDR is just that. A higher dynamic range than the sensor in the camera you are holding can capture in a single image.

In conclusion, a realistic hdr image, with much more tonal range vs a single is exposure, is more appealling to me than a surreallistic/artistic image. I would like to add that there is nothing wrong with surreal hdr either.

[TheGspartan]

@murralsee

With such expertise and skills that are so much more "natural". You mind uploading some of those videos buddy? WE PRAISE YOU!

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@murralsee fuck right off

[tvandang]

can i take just one picture and then make several copies of this picture to change the exposure of each picture in photoshop? would i get the same result? most of the time, people take just take pictures of a scene but not at different exposures. thanks!

tvandang

[BryceBetch]

@tvandang you would get a similar result, but not the exact crisp look. you would need a few more steps including remove ghosting, blending etc. try a burst mode of 3 images instead of 8 images. much much easier. =]

[jorshtamez]

@tvandang  you can do it with a single RAW image, the results won't be the same, but it will get you something

[Amarsanaa0301]

F-ing awesome. Now i kno how to make it. Thank you very much!

[hydramn]

u like a more vibrant, saturated, cartoonish hdr or more realistic hdr?

[king51363]

nice

[wildhorse333]

thanks for sharing！！！thanks！！！



[addz76]

Yes agreed the hands are just too darn bright - wow

[TsamuelJames]

It hurts to watch this...

please try to resist repeating yourself too many times...

[odkoo1992]

koooooooool

[irven1]

JAZZ HANDS 

[stratmaker]

HDR= Hands dynamic reveal

[gussy1976]

One of the best videos I have seen on youtube!

[Fredolow]

Yes, agreed. And the hands need to be much bigger. Really lets the whole vid down.

[johncgaiser]

This video needs more hands.
