You would make a great student and the secret with this tutorial is that it is very simple. It is all about experimenting and letting the mind roam free and seeing what comes of it. In the end it may seem all very clever.<br /><br />I am planning another on on HDR work flow but it is several weeks away as I started painting again and its stage will be revealed upon completion.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956786921480316624.post-68638692519230403812011-02-17T05:53:56.776-08:002011-02-17T05:53:56.776-08:00I am stunned Egmont!

Personally I have not heard of 'Topaz' and will see what I can find out.<br /><br />Photomatix I use simply to combine all the images but any pre-work is done to the middle image in Photoshop and then applied to all other images without making any changes. Then imported into Photomatix and back to Photoshop when all the fine tuning begins.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956786921480316624.post-73791811089816853742011-02-13T14:10:21.396-08:002011-02-13T14:10:21.396-08:00Dear Zuzana,

Wie man dem, was die Kamera gesehen hat, das zufügen und verstärken kann, was man in dem Motiv sieht oder sehen möchte. Eine Interpretation der Wirklichkeit.<br />Mir gefallen beide Versionen, die Du erstellt hast. Das zweite noch etwas besser, weil ich diesen altmodischen Touch mag. Mit der Dokumentation hast Du Dir sehr viel Mühe gegeben. Und wenn ich mir den Weg, den Dein zweiter Entwurf genommen hat so anschaue, spricht mich auch die schwarz/weiß Version an.

I had thought you had left us when you closed your blog last year and sent us a farewell message. So to see you have decided to return is in deed a joyous moment.<br /><br />Last year for me was a big distraction from everything I loved doing and though all the cardiovascular rehabilitation, the improvements were marginal and I am told it will take time. Not weeks or months but another year or two.<br /><br />Since I am no longer in the program, I promised myself to do the best I can and let my health issues dominate 2011, as I try to be more creative and especially attentive to my friends.<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.com
