Title: HDR PSCC help
Post by: wmchauncey on March 24, 2014, 08:05:18 am
Single image HDR Toning in PS CC...these first two images are SOOC, then taken into PS CC and applied default HDR Toning with no changes to default settings.

This technique works for snow and most skies. It happens to fit with some current projects except...that snow and skies seem to be it's limitations.
Why is it that it only coughs out these results with snow/skies and nothing else of a light color and...how do I achieve this "dark, soft look" with other images?
