Have you ever made some awesome adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw, opened the image, and then realized you forgot to reduce the Chromatic Aberrations or reduce the noise? It used to happen to me all the time! I would then have to close out the photo and re-open it in...

Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro was a great tool to have in my HDR tool box. I was stoked to find out HDR Efex Pro 2 had been released late this Summer. Just when you thought HDR Efex Pro couldn’t get much better, the upgrade came along and topped its...

I have been an avid Photoshopper for about 12 years now and just now realized the power of Adobe Bridge, I know I know, I am a day late and a dollar short right? Let me start this by asking you a couple questions, if you answer yes to any of them, then you need to...

I have three huge pet peeves with HDR, some may say I hate these three things. I stayed up countless hours for several months thinking about how much I hated these three things in my HDR process and racked my brain thinking about how I could fix them. It is one...

A newcomer to the blog, Larry, asked me to do a tutorial on HDR Toning in Photoshop. I have never shown this on EverydayHDR before because I don’t really care for it as a Tone Mapping engine. I do, however, use it in another interesting way. There are two ways...
