HDR

It makes my photo to dark, can you help?

Fun, Fast, and a Little Bit Scary

Well, I tried it out, and this is a really cool technique. It's so memorable that the second photo I worked on, I didn't really need to reference the tutorial.

I think my nephew already looked a bit like Dr. Horrible, but now he looks really cool (and I guess all kids faces are always dirty!).

Love it!

Finally, images of Dr. Horrible as a toddler.

Really helps fill in the gaps.

This makes your son look

This makes your son look rather sick and veiny and.... well... like he has peach-skin? Ahem.... Very cool effect though.

as advertised

Thanks Deke,

You're always pulling for us lab rats. Your fake hdr tutorial in its step by step, do this do that goodness.

Congrats on your NPAT award. But beware of awards that are handed out near dimly lit janitorial closets.
