Tutorial??

[Worm324]

Anybody have any suggetsions on a tutorial? Something you might be interested to learn about HDR in particular??

I think the processing tutorials are pretty good, but perhaps some of you want more detail on a particular aspect of the processing? Maybe some help with the camera set-up? More in depth Photoshop techniques? More advanced stuff like masking in photoshop?

If you have any thoughts or suggestions just post them here or send me a PM if you would rather and I'll put something together

Thanks,
Jay

Oh please do a tutorial. I would like to learn how to do this. That would be a great idea and I think others would too. I certainly don't know anything about HDR. Any help you could give would be fantastic.

There are already two tuts on how to use the tools. How about a tut with pics on getting the base captures?

[Worm324]

Paht, There are several tutorials at the top of this section already on how to process HDR images. Are you referring to how to set your camera?

Thanks,
Jay

Yes, camera set up help, Pleaaase. Like how do you know how many exposures to use and how many stops apart? Obviously, the range of each scene is different. How do you always get such perfect results? that's what I want to know PS is another ball of wax but if there is some specific trick that you want to share, i'm all ears. Oops, just read what Jfrancho said so I guess i'm repeating him.

A "camera" tutorial would be great....

[chrisk]

Yes camera settings would be nice to know a little more of.

Fair enough I'll make a tutorial on how I set up the camera for a an HDR photo.

Any other specific suggestions?? I'm sure John is itching to create another awesome tutorial of some kind

Thanks,
Jay

HDR? High Definition Range Is this a good guess?

[Alisa Conn]

OK just found out what it stands for but what does it mean?

[Framer Dave]

How about HDR & Panoramics. This could range form the shoot, pano head & camera settings to stitching to HDR processing.

Jay...Any comments about how the number of exposures and the number of stops between exposure might vary as a function of the type of scene would be appreciated.

[jfrancho]

Personally, I like to use 1 stop increments. That means that if the brightest exposure (the shadows exposure) is 8 stops slower than the darkest exposure (the highlights exposure) then you'll need 9 files, each a stop apart. Sometimes I resort to 2 stop increments. Since I usually manually set the exposure increment in Photomatix (I use 16 bit tiffs) its easy to remember the interval if its consistent.
