Essentially, there are two reasons for making HDR photos. First, as a photographer you often experience lighting conditions that have a higher dynamic range than your sensor is capable of recording in one gulp, so HDR photos capture and compress the brightness range.Done well, no-one will ever know it’s an HDR.
The second reason that you would use HDR is for the look — to boost the colours and contrast of a dull subject or to give your image a grungy feel. With these reasons in mind, lets take a look at 6 ways you can make HDR photos that are subtle and spectacular.
Sometimes combining two group shots together may result in the best combination of smiles and open eyes
It can be impossible to get everyone within a photo smiling at exactly the same time, so from a bunch of photos from a shoot you might end up having to make a compromise in choosing the best photo. With Photoshop however, you can combine two or more shots to make sure everyone looks their best. Watch this to find out how.
Give your old photos a new lease of life by removing dust, dirt and scratches in Photoshop Elements
As well as faded tones and yellow tints, old photos can suffer from a host of other complaints, from patches of mildew and water spots to creases, rips and tears. Fortunately, Photoshop Elements has all the tools you need to tackle unwanted tints, banish blemishes and restore old photos.
Use free Canon software to combine multiple shots into a panoramic scene
Many image-editing packages, including Photoshop, have built-in options to automatically merge multiple photos. But here we’ll show you how to do it in PhotoStitch, the free software Canon bundles with its new cameras.
