Hdr and Beyond in Adobe Photoshop Cs4: Enter the Next Dimension of Imaging with a Pioneering Fusion of Photoshop, High Dynamic Range, and More

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging uses multiple exposures of the same scene to create a single image with a huge range of values between the light and dark areas of a photograph. It is an extremely popular and ever-growing niche of photography; a search for "HDR" at Flickr results in over 700,000 uploaded images. In this book by noted photographer and popular digital imaging expert Ben Willmore, you'll learn the best practices for the entire process: from image capture through tone mapping and output. You'll learn how to create stunning HDR images...and you'll go beyond those "basic" techniques to learn exactly how Ben creates his own trademark HDR images, which have a slightly surreal and painterly quality to them. Equally instructive and beautiful, HDR and Beyond will teach and inspire you to create stunning HDR images!
