I have done previous training here and was very happy - great trainer. He was very clear with instructions & helping you to understand different aspects of the program. I came back for a second go at Indesign training as I will be using it a lot in the coming months. I feel much more confident about creating documents. The training was tailored to my & my colleague’s needs – thank you!

Fantastic trainer – very accommodating to our individual objectives. The small class size was incredibly beneficial to learning. We focused on the things we were interested in, with the instructor able to modify the course agenda so that we all learned what was important in the first day!

Photoshop HDR

Working with images in High Dynamic Range is a simple process in Adobe Photoshop. We demonstrate how in our Photoshop training courses.
In HDR image processing you have multiple F-stop bracketed exposures of the same image. Select these in Mini-bridge, then right-click and choose Photoshop, Merge to HDR Pro, and choose OK. It then takes the images into an HDR Composite image, aligns them and opens up in the new High Dynamic Range dialog box.
Note the Presets at the top of the screen > More Saturated (for example) > note features like Remove Ghosts for wind-blown branches, etc. You can also create your own presets. Try these settings for example: tick Remove Ghosts, Mode 16 Bit, Local Adaptation, Edge Glow Radius 176, Strength 0.47. Then in the Tone & Detail section choose Gamma 0.76, Exposure 0.3, Detail 300%, Shadow -100%, Highlight -100%, Vibrance 22%, Saturation 26%. Then in Tone Curve choose a Contrast S-shaped curve, and Save the Preset.
Alternatively, if you didn’t shoot for HDR open a new image and go to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Adjustments and HDR Toning. This allows us to simulate the effects from HDR without having the multiple exposures and gives us a really sharp look.
Many more tips and techniques can be found at the Adobe website. And see many examples of our clients’ work on our Facebook page.
