Pseudo-HDR in Lightroom

Nice effect - yes
Interesting pp option - yes
HDR - No

There's nothing more here then what the original RAW file had in the first place

Guy,

It is a process designed to mimic the effect of HDR. The dynamic range has been expanded - yes using the information that was there in the original RAW - but expanded never-the-less.

This is ONE technique. As I state in the tutorial, there are many techniques that can be used to create an HDR effect.

Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, I have tried this out on some of my photos I basically had given up on and it's magic!!

Thanks

Hello
the overall look of this technique is good. But if you would look at the hard edges (high contrasted), you will see very strange, absolut inacceptabel artefacts that produces lightroom here, caused by the extremly use of both sliders simultaneous, for highlight recovery an fill light.
Best regards

This is a great technique. I was a real fan of HDR, but as a graphic designer not a photographer, shoot HDR is not really an option sometime. Now I can get the "effect" of HDR as a designer. Thanks a lot!
