HDR and Effects Image

[BonesMa]

With the current trend of HDR images I thought I would give it ago.

Started of with my stock found here:-

I then used a Exposure Layer to create my second image.

Using Photomatix Pro 3.0 I then created a HDR image.

Once I was happy with this I then set about changing it some more using varied filters and effects.

Shown a before and after for details.

Thanks for any comments and such I enjoyed doing this image much different from my normal stuff.

I looove how the name calling starts as soon as I say something.

Alright people calling me an idiot, and people saying I didn't tell him anything useful. Any you people saying HE'S and ARTIST for what he just did.

Let me break this down for you.

Now to do this I've recreated his work in all of 5 seconds, EXACTLY how I said he did it. He just topazed some other persons image.

TUT ALERT

To go from his first image, to the final.

1. Filter>Topaz Vivacity>Topaz Clean: Threshold (G)=6, Clean Radius=6, and Sharpness=1
2.Filter>Topaz Vivactiy>Topaz Clean (YCcBr): Threshold=3, Clean Radius=6, Sharpness=2.4
3.Brightness/Contrast: Brightness=45, Contrast=100
4.Orangeish Gradiant Map: Lighten 15%

DONE!
If you don't believe me. Check it.

I'm sorry, but that takes less than a minute and all he did was topaz someone else's work and call it his own. That's NOT art.

here's my version following the tut above:

[Nutter]

I am sick and tired of the poor responses that people are giving other members. Have you ever thought that he was trying out a few things and is looking for ways to improve? Maybe this was his first time at really trying out the Topaz feature on different settings. We can't all be professional artist as soon as we open Photoshop.

If you do not have "anything" constructive to say, then do not post a message slagging out another member. Also, making loose accusations about a particular member is not appreciated under any circumstances.

Thank you nutter.

And as stated in my first thread if they had read it. I used a stock image changed it to a subtle HDR to test it out then added some filters colours and yes topaz.

The title of the piece should have said that to you HDR and Effects Image I never stated it was just HDR. I used the topaz layer as I yes ME liked the effect it added to the piece.

I am still staying away from void for awhile till things change. Thanks again for ppl who stood up for me and nutter the only MOD who bothered to address this situation.
