Show Notes…

Well here is your first PPS Roundtable discussion. We had a few sound glitches, but we’ll get better. Hope you enjoy, and here are some links for things we discussed.

Gavin Reviewed Action Runner, a tool for automating the Photoshop action process with a whole bunch of images. Go check out the trial.

Also discussed was the free Wow lightroom presets by Jack Davis, and How to import your presets from Bridge to Lightroom. Dennis got the Eye-One Display2 for color correction. The Adobe Studio Exchange is good, but we don’t like it as well after the redesign. FredMiranda.com is a great place for lens reviews.

Gavin’s pick of the week was Photo Drop, a Mac tool for automated resizing of images. Jarrod said everyone should go to PhotoshopUser.com, and join NAAP And Dennis loves his lab Whitehouse Custom Color. I think that about wraps it up…. Cheers

Part two talks in more detail about using Photomatix Pro, and how to use it to get a great looking HDR image. You can use our promo code PPS15 to save 15%. There’s also an HDR Flickr group you should check out, and you can see some of my HDR work on my own Flickr page, also here is the HDR panoramic photo that I made.

People in HDR, and here is a few that I shot to give you some ideas…
This was taken at sunset. The light was very low, and I had to use a high iso. The resulting image came out a bit grainy, but the effect was very dramatic. It gives us some food for thought! Even though this is not what you would think when you thought about HDR, it gives a different aspect and has a lot of mood.

This shot was taken at the beach around sunset. Again a three shot HDR using auto bracketing, it gives off plenty of drama and though the subject has to stand very still the resulting image is just what the doctor ordered.

This is another Senior shot. Doing this is HDR gave it lots of dynamic detail that would not otherwise be possible.

Pick of the week this time was submitted by listener Greg. It a nice (and simple) javs script you can use on your website to make a sideshow. It’s free so just read the direction and your off.

That about does it for this week. You can send questions or comments to prophotoshow@gmail.com. Have a great week… Gavin

HDR Part 1.

It’s time to learn HDR. Listen to the main topic in this weeks show starting at time index 17:50, and more to come in next weeks show. HDR Software besides Photoshop includes Photomatix from HDR Soft. You can use our promo code PPS15 to save 15%. There’s also another HDR app available called FDR tools.

Here is an example photo taken off of Highway 12 in WA of a worker in the Tulip fields. This was done using Photomatix Pro & Photoshop, with 3 raw images. Notice how the detail can be captures in not only the foreground, but also the sky which would normally be washed out. At the same time however it’d still has a natural look to it, with some shadows and depth. (click for a larger version)

Put the final touch on your HDR images with Hollywood Effects Photoshop Actions.

Getting Really Vivid Images
I won’t go into all the details here, as you can hear all those on this PPS episode. But as promised I do have a free Gavin Seim official PS action for you. This is confirmed to work in Photoshop CS2 & CS3. It should also work in CS, and perhaps even earlier versions. But you probably have the latest version anyway so that you can use all of Gavin’s future actions… Right???

Well anyway here is Visual Razor 1 free and ready for download. It’s a good action for a general vivid enhancement of just about any image. Usually you would run this first (maybe even in a batch) and then apply any other effects you need
