Hello can you turn this into a HDR photo or what do i have to do with it .Thanks





 
Well you should post 3 picture with the same size/resolution cause here the 3 pics have diff res
first is 1024*715
second 1024*752
third 1024*751

Not good!!

They should also contain different exposures, one or two stops apart.

Exactly... and one of the cloud is overburned (top right)

Anyway (best is to take multiple pics at (for exemple) -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 with a fix aperture and different speed.

Anyway i did a quick play... the cloud on the right have no color cause there is just no color on it and im too lazy to retouch in photoshop so there you go

There is your semi-hdr (not really but heh)

Nice work....

I see this HRD a lot and I like the look. I have CS3 but do I need CS3 extended to to this HRD work? If not where can I find info on how to do it?
Thanks

I have CS3 extended, and I know there are more options available, when working in 32 bit mode, than CS3. I don't know what extra options these are ,as i don't have regular CS3

Like another poster stated all of the above edits are not and were never hdr.

You need at least 3 shots of a high dynamic range scene,(more then your camera can handle) , with different exposures (vary shutter speed-not aperture). Then -- you run it thru Photoshop's hdr generator. It is now a 32 bit image that can't be viewed on your monitor, or printed . The process of tone mapping converts this 32 bit file to 8 or 16 bits which can be viewed or printed. Squeezing the 32 bits of information into an acceptable 8 or 16 bit image is what this process is all abou!!.It is

now a LDR image, which can be viewed and or printed I repeat-- it is no longer hdr.
It was processed through hdr and was tonemapped.
This is a common misconception , when first doing hdr. Hey --did so, myself.
 
This is NOT a true HDR. It is a psuedo HDR. I modified the approach because your images did not match in resolution and were not wide enough in range.

I do not use photoshop for HDR. I think it is better to get a purpose built application. I use Dynamic photo HDR. Here is my try with the OPs images. This is not a real HdR because the original images were not compatable to do a true HdR.

Hello thanks for all the help this is going to the way to make photos come to life again i will try a new HDR 2 to see if i can get it to work . james
 
I said it was "tone mapped." As a practical matter, averaging 3 frames of identical exposure decreases the noise by a factor of 1/sqrt(3) = 0.577 which better allows this kind of tone mapping without showing noise in dark areas. The other problem is that the cloud highlights are blown and no number of identical exposures will correct this.

I'm sorry . Actually I wasn't addressing. your post.. i was just letting the original poster know what an hdr is --and what it isn't. Guess I should of worded my post differently. Sorry,
Buzz
 
Doesn't look like multi-exposure and bracketed images were taken here (file dimension sizes were all different) so and HDR in the conventional sense doesn't fit with these images imo, but I did enjoy creating the fake version using image 1. As a bonus, included a very slight blue tinted monochromatic version. :)
