Re: HDR Sand Machine

Hi Boof

Let's forget the HDR for the present. I am going to pull a "Charlotte" here. What was your purpose in taking the shot? Was it the graffiti? Was it the sand machine? There are really two subjects here, fighting each other, and so don't make a pleasing image from my view.

Your processing made it appear like a poster or cartoon, which is fine if that was your intent. Rob is right....HDR in cs2 doesn't work with one image unless you fudge the exif info. But the intent of HDR is to combine dynamic ranges from 0 to 255 when part of the image is much too bright (like the sky) and part is much too dark (like the landscape).

But if you wanted to create a sort of kitchy image, you suceeded. I just don't like the contrast between the graffiti and the sand dredger.
