Photoshop Secrets 21: Create a Fake HDR Effect

You make Photoshop poetry man...
Very cool work...

nice

So HDR reduces the crontrast? Can it be simulated by adjusting the settings when playing games on non-HDR tv/moitor?

awesome, thank you

Thanks for the great tutorials, quick and easy. Wonderful stuff. And my Photoshop secret is you can use backspace or Alt+backspace to fill a layer with the background or foreground colour. No need for drop-downs all the time.

keep up the great work!

I have updated my RayaPro but cannot find the fake HDR tab?

Love your videos

thank you very much

Thanks for the video... but i have to say it looks a bit washed out. I wonder if you would end up with about the same image if you reset you black point / white point after applying this effect.
(mainly shadows).
P.S. their is also hdr toneing in PS

amazing technique

that was cool made an action and will be using it a lot i think nice one

Some really great videos! Thanks so much!

how does that compare to bringing down the highlights and raising the shadows in lightroom?
