I've struggled with HDR in photoshop for a while... this has really helped me. thank you!

exactly how I remember it being done! Just wanted a refresher as it's been a while. thx!

Thanx man! This is by far the best HDR tutorial I've seen! My HDR images look stunning, to say the least ... 👌👍👊

I Never commented on youtube videos but this is the most useful video I've seen. Thanks so much. It opens a lot.

Really the best video about HDR photo on youtube. Great job!

Wow! Thank you so much! Changing the HDR merged photos to 32 bit really made a difference! I couldn't figure out why my merged photos were looking so awful till I saw your video! This has really help! Thank you so much!

great video, I just realized it's 7 years old, and so informative even for 2023, thank you.

I can't believe I just found this video. All this time I thought the photoshop HDR feature was garbage. This is awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Thank You!!!

Thank you for the great video! I'm currently using PhotoMatix Pro 6 and I'd like to know how to manipulate the 3 individual images once they are merged. Is it possible to bring out more of the dark exposure or the light exposure if so desired? I'm just curious about limitations because PhotoMatix is quite a versatile program.

Well done, Ed - that's excellent. Will watch it several times more to 'grab' everything. Many thanks.

Love this... I prefer to do 95% of my editing inside ACR so this is exactly the way I would prefer to do HDR too. Thanks!

I just re-discovered ACR after not messing with multiple exposures for awhile, but its suiting my workflow again based on what I'm shooting. Love ACR though, so much more responsive than lightroom.

Very nice! Not you average HDR tutorial, which we've all seen a hundred times. Glad I clicked this one! 👍

Fantastic. i definitely try not to make boring average photoshop tutorials. I always want to teach the best and latest techniques to allow people to create the best results in photoshop. Happy you watched my photoshop HDR tutorial

Brilliant! I have been trying to use Photoshop's HDR but the default results are usually so bad. Your advice to use ACR has changed my life (editing life in any case). Thank you for the great tutorial!

THANK YOU!!! oh my, thank you so much. I am new to PS and was beside myself trying to figure out how to get this to work. This helped a TON. I did not do every step you talked about, but I took much of your tutorial and came up with a decent image. My first attempt at HDR would not be possible without this tutorial. Again, THANK YOU!

Thank you man! I was looking for a fird party software, but I always knew that Photoshop can make true HDR itself. You've just opened my eyes! So simple :)

I did everything up to 4.20 in your video as well and my cs6 doesn't have the option to work into camera raw either is there another way to bring up the camera raw workspace for hdr toning

wow. that 32 bit tip was amazing

Really helpful thank you... you're a great communicator... would have hoped that you kept going on with this kind of tutorial!

THanks Ed! I was lost for a long time on how to undo the changes after converting it back to 16 bit. exposure and gamma, eureka!

Thank you very much for this tutorial! Very helpful!

This really helped!!! I have photography this semester and unfortunately we can't do it in person, so this really helped

This is the best video tutorial for making HDR photos in Photoshop. Thank you so much!

Oh men thank you very muuuccchhh i was struggling how to edit hdr pics on photoshop and i found your video i followed every step and now i can take good hdr photos

hi, which table graphic you use?thaNK YOU SO MUCH.

Big thumbs up and subscribed, never knew about switching to 32bit, thank you sir.

Thanks for that, finally I got a good process for my Real estate.

superb. Just need to practice now. Many thanks

Amazing video! You showed not how to make an HDRI, but how to make a good one!

Excellent video! Thanks for the tips!

Hey Photos In Color, can you please make a video on how you have your Photoshop workspace customized, because I watching your awesome tutorials and I really want to customize my workspace exactly like yours. Thanks!!!!

The best vedio about HDR I've ever seen

I am very new to photoshop..Your simple technique helps me a lot mate..Cheers..

Hello, I have the same problem as a guy below. Once I'm finished with merge to HDR pro in 32 bit, I dont have the option to open in camera raw, any advice would be helpful

Awesome tutorial Ed! I'm excited to try it out!

Wonderful. With this photoshop HDR tutorial you will not be disappointed. really this will give you stunning natural looking HDR photos.

Well put Ed. I have been doing Bracketing and HDR in Photomatics but hate the lighting effects that you can't switch off. The finished result seems too surreal for my liking. Been wanting to know how to produce them in Photoshop for some time now and your Vlog explains it perfectly thanks.

Brilliant! Great tutorial, mate.. subscribed.

Great tutorial! Gonna use that in the future :)

Pretty useful video ! thank you for sharing

Nicely done mate!

I had a lot of trouble trying to make something look good with the HDR pro thing and I had no idea about this other method. This is the best and it looks way better using the RAW processing!

Happy you learned from this photoshop HDR advanced method. Really this is the best way to create HDR images in Photoshop.

Rather than using the convert to 16 bit method you point out, I was using the file > export > quick export as PNG option. Any reason why that wouldn't work as well? It seems to keep the same appearance when exporting this way. Great tutorial, btw.

Tried to do your HDR method yesterday, but they would not merge because the photos need to, "...be the same size."? I was bracket shooting. Do I need to work from the card out of the camera? Love your videos!

This has been a feature in Photoshop (I think) the first version of CC, and I've really enjoyed the convenience. I do NOT miss having to merge to HDR, save the file as a 32 bit .tif, close the image, and then re-open the file to get it into ACR. Great tutorial as always, Ed.

My pleasure. Happy you learned fro my Photoshop HDR tutorial.

My photo becomes whiter and unsaturated after the 32 to 16bit conversion (even if gamma and exposure are set on 1 and 0). Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks so much for this way of doing HDR in camera raw and photoshop. Everything worked except that in my Photoshop CC 2018 when I clicked the "OK" in ACR, the image opened up in PS, but it wasn't a smart object, just a layer and it was back to being a 16 bit image. I didn't have to go back to ACR and so it didn't matter.

I have this problem too. I'm bummed, because this means I can't re-do my changes in Camera Raw until after I convert to 16 bit. Commenter Gabriel Albaladejo-San Inocencio above notes: "In Adobe Camera Raw 9.10, directly applying the Camera Raw Filter to a 32-bit Photoshop document has now been disabled to prevent unexpected visual mismatches between Camera Raw and Photoshop. The Camera Raw plug-in always processes a 32-bit source image or Smart Object to a 8-bit/16-bit result."

Great video!

Excellent! Thanks!!

Hey I know this a year old or more but hopefully you can answer this question for me.. I'm just getting into Photoshop and creating hdr and I'm curious.. do I have to purchase Adobe Camera Raw separately or is it part of Photoshop? I pay for Photoshop and have never seen acr advertised on adobe's site. So hopefully i already have it. Let me know! Cheers.

Thanks for the Vid, i was having a play at HDR from my new D500 last night. Using the photoshop preset tabs was a disaster!!!.

Excellent explanation

Will it work in photoshop elements 2021

Great Vid easy to follow instructions. Thanks

Thank you. you're the best!!

Another great blog Ed,,,but please tell me how to store a saved image onto a external hard drive,,,thanks and have a great Christmas ✌️

omg this guys got so much energy

hello!...i dont get the "merge to hdr pro" option when i hit automate, do you know why and if there is another way to make it? thank you!

What an amazing tutorial.Until today I merge photos with Lightroom but was very limited.This video goes to my favourite.Thank you so much.Subscribe

Having the same issue. Maybe an update changed this? In the history panel it shows the smart object followed by flatten images, and it won't let you go back.

Just for the cool enthusiastic intro I hit thumbs up before watching further!!!

Thank you!

Thanks for your great tutorials do you think this is better then using NIK HDR?

@clearlyed

8 жыл бұрын

I think Photoshop HDR with the 32 bit technique works better than the nik collection too. The power of photoshop HDR is awesome and is often overlooked.

I found "my" problem. . .great tutorial!

Any advantages on using this technique over Lightroom HDR?

@clearlyed

yes and know. it actually comes down to the editing portion. the create HDR in photoshop and lightroom use the exact same engine the difference is that in lightroom you are limited to the sliders limitations whereas in Photoshop HDR you have no limits. I hope this helps.

Did everything you advised and it all goes well until at the end I get a window popping up saying "The Command "Camera Raw Filter" is not currently available". Any thoughts (I do have Camera Raw)

hello. "Complete toning in adobe camera raw" box is not showing and is the same with "tone in ACR" What can that be?

That dance just gained a new subscriber cheers mate

Nice thank you! It helped a lot! Hope to get hired as a hdr editor by the company I applied a week ago. Wish me luck!!! ☺️

Great tuto! But my ACR doesn't open it as a Smart Object, don't know how to change that. I can manage that by opening the files in ACR and thinking the "open as smart object" button in the picture preferences, but that changes nothing. The ACR window used by the "merge to HDR" function as shown in the tutorial doesn't allow that. Any idea? (using CC2019)

Very useful

I noticed that when you change to 32 bit it saves that setting and everything you do later will automatically open in 32 bit. Very informative video!

AWESOME DUDE...

Lovely video bro.. god bless u

fantastic vid as always, photoshop scares me 😂 how in the world did you figure this out?

Using PS cc 2018 and ACR does not save a smart object, when it's done. Instead I just get a standard locked 16 bit "Background" layer, from which I can't go back into ACR. Are there any settings that allow for the smart object saving by default?
