Lovely site! Nice work
Thanks for a cool tut. I particularly liked your shadowmapped and optimal layers. I’d not seen those before. Will be trying them out.
Thanks, Bernie. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
This is just great.
I was so much questionning myself about postprocessing HDR images.
Thank you for sharing those videos.
Rob, I just finished watching your five-part HDR Processing Techniques tutorial. I’ve never seen the technique where you process the .hdr file three times. I wonder if you could share the Photomatix Pro settings for your “vivid” and “Black/White” presets? thank you.
Sir, thanks for the tutorial video and it is works..
