How to make an HDR effect: Photoshop Surround exposure photo synthesis tutorial

HDR photography, has become a serious supersaturation, with a large number of halos, as if a cartoon-like effect synonymous. This article will explain the real advantages of HDR and how you can make more realistic HDR photos without using Photomatix software.

The methods to be shown here apply to most photos. This approach is similar to the typical HDR photo-making method, but has 2 different points. The template-style HDR photo Making method uses a method called "Draw Tone" (tonemapping) that produces an annoying glow and tends to be saturated. The method described in this article is handled with a high dynamic range principle and can be fully controlled manually.

First, you need to take some photos. Choose a suitable location, I chose the local beach. Like normal HDR, you need to surround the exposure by taking photos of the same content at different exposure values. This step is to ensure that every element in the scene is exposed to the correct exposure in at least one photo. In the example in this article, I've taken 4 photos. If the site environment is more complex (highlights, shadows, etc.), you'll need more photos. In theory, generally 2 photos are enough, one for the foreground exposure, one for the background. Shooting with RAW format is highly recommended.

After you have imported your photos into your computer, you first make a preliminary edit in Adobe Camera Raw. The first step is to have all the photos angled or trimmed. Next, evaluate where each photo can be used. For example, the 1th picture here is suitable for future use. When dealing with this picture, just focus on the effect of the foreground:

The 2nd photo mainly uses the sea part:

The 3rd picture focuses on the top half of the sky:
