    Very useful. I am a big fanner of HDR, but I have never tried it this way. Great when you only have one exposure. Thanks a lot for sharing!

    I think your tutorials are great. Sometimes I feel like it would be just a slight bit better if you slow down for just a second or two. In this video I'm talking about where you went on to use the layer mask. Either way I'll rewatch it again. I know it's really easy for you but some of us need to take our time. Anyways thanks and you got yourself another sub! Keep it up my friend.

    I learned something. Thanks :) EDIT: I tried this out and it's great. I have a question though - is it possible to combine this process with the little trick for making an image appear to be more 'HD' by usng Gaussian Blur? When I tried this on the image with the layer mask, it just made everything a lot darker, regardless of the opacity of the Overlay layer. I figured that it would be best to export the 'HDR' image first and then work on the Gaussian Blur aspect of it (this produced decent results, I thought, especially when the blurred layer was in Value mode, as opposed to Overlay mode), but I just wondered if you knew of a way that the two processes could be done simultaneously, in the same project? It's not so much of a problem to export etc (if anything this preserves the state of the HDR project which is a good thing anyway) but I guess it might save a little time (and disk space) to do them in the same project. Is it possible?

    Hi, I'm having trouble getting my brush to be large enough. At the moment it is really tiny. I tried scaling my image down and this does help to an extent, but I don't want to compromise the quality and make it even smaller. When trying to change the actual brush size, when I make it the largest it can be, its still tiny. Also, I can't always change the brush any way as the box stays "gray" like it can't be changed. Hope this all make sense!

    TheMikhailaS That's strange. You should be able to change the size of the brush. Try re-installing GIMP (first do a complete uninstall and run a cleaner) see if that's going to fix it. Also how big are the images you are working on?

    Yeah. More like High Static Range since there's nothing dynamic about the range of 8 bits per colour channel. I had to upgrade past Gimp 2.9 to even open an hdr file but it loads fine now. Real HDR is far more interesting and useful than faking it.

    This tutorial fails to mention what "HDR" stands for. "High-dynamic-range" rendering or lighting: is the rendering of computer graphics scenes by using lighting calculations done in a larger dynamic range.
