1 HDR Merge in photoshop.
2 Follow the details in the link AlexN posted.
3 A program called EasyHDR which is used a lot by Avondonk on this forum.
4 Then this link which is one of Jerry Lodrigus' methods and by far the easiest to try. Much easier than his other method posted by Alex. http://www.astropix.com/HTML/J_DIGIT/COMP2.HTM
Keep at it like the rest of us. Time and perseverence brings results.
Nice image just the same. |
Thanks Doug for your kind words...mate it is a hard one to bag and the learning curve is great.
When I saw your recent image I thought Wow! I will have a go at that, I may not come close but I will have a go. Maybe I went overboard on the images.
Quick question: Do I process before Layers or process after?
