this is the first time i did a hdr effect and i think it came out pretty slick....i bet this effect would be awesome on an old rusted festy...but anyways enjoy..let me know if u like it :0

Doesn't matter what you do to those wheels, they are still super sexy!!
That looks awesome, btw, pyro. :thumbright:

That IS pretty decent for a first time. Not bad at all pyro!

A trick to things along this line is blending and using the stamp/heal stamp tools to even out some of the rougher contrasts, but overall, I like it GJ!

Edit: This shoop made me start considering using HDR on my current project....

[pyrothehitman]

thanx guys....as i said its my first time and it will only get better

[pyrothehitman]

fyi to make an hdr effect you have to take 3 photos 1,high contrast,2,low contrast,3regular...you are suppose to set up a tripod and adjust ur camera to 3 diff settings.....as i only had 1 pic to work with i had to simulate the other 2 pics with highlights and shadows....oh well still is not a bad job

That's the beauty of GNU Image Manipulating Programs!

As you can tell from that, I use GIMP lol

[pyrothehitman]

hey pronst4r how do i save the hdr image?....it wont let me save as a jpeg or the like....only as a tiff and acouple others i never heard of....i had to take a screenshot to save it?

[pr0nst4r]

Did you flatten the image (merge all the layers/masks)?

[pyrothehitman]

yes....thats the first thing i checked...as i tend to make that mistake alot...lol

[pyrothehitman]

maybe it has something to do with the (photomatrix) plugin i was using for the hdr ???

[pyrothehitman]

i even selected the whole pic and pasted in a new window but still the same options

[pr0nst4r]

Possibly, but I doubt it. Can you save the image as a .tiff and transfer it to me via email? I can see if I can save it as a .jpg or .png in GIMP. It's much easier to manipulate file types with.

[pyrothehitman]

for me...the thing that pops the most in the pic is the tires and the trees....ima have to experiment with more hdr

[pyrothehitman]

sure whats your address?

Now that sounds like it has to do with your plugin.

Try this:

Select image.

Paste in new file.

Copy layer and delete the original.

Attempt to save.
