SPIFFY LITTLE TRICK TIM TAUGHT ME THAT I LIKE> High Pass filter

We found this helped improve contrast and detail after using HDR. After I did this I then used lab color. Okay so do HDR. Then your going to flatten your image you have from that. Go to Image>Mode> 16 bits Then duplicate your layer (Apple>J) On the new layer your going to go to Filter>Other> High pass. Change the radius to where you can just see the outline because a little goes a long way (so Tim says). On this my radius was 3.9. Click okay when you have it where you want. Now go over to the little box where your layers are and right under the tabs there is a drop down that says normal.. click that and select the one that says overlay. After that you will notice that there is a little more contrast and a little sharpening that can really help after HDR. Toggle between the before and after with eye and you can really see it. But just look at my example and im sure you can tell. :) And then you can flatten the image... and go on to do lab color or whatever! Happy photoshopping! :O Bed time (that was a yawny smily)
