Love the treatment on your "door series" Gregg.

@Gregg - those door shots are striking. Any PP on the colors and contrast? They are almost surreal.

[greggf]

@Steve..thanks for the words...always appreciated


@thekingb...secrets of the trade...sorry!!


Just kidding.....imported into LR3, a few white balance tweaks and minor correcting, jump to CS5, and from CS5, I use the "Tone Mapping function" from HDR Efex , which gives the "Pseudo" hdr look. But, with some images, you can get a very real, surreal look, as in say, the last picture. I really like it, too, but it doesn't work for every picture, either.


CS5 has a similar function, but not as effective IMHO, and I'm not sure if PhotoMatix Pro does, but I think so.


I will be posting more as time permits, too. The thing I like, though, is I can get the look I want, without getting TOO deep into layers and PP.


I love digital!!


thanks for looking,


Gregg
