Description Well, my 1st tutorial on dA! I got this idea when searching information on HDR photography. The method here explained works fine as you can see on my deviations bellow, despite the noisy looks.

- Rays of Light
- Caravela HDR
- Stand Up Alone
- Zona da Mata
- Sky is on Flames

It describes a cheap way to enter HDR, even if you don´t have a digital SLR or a compact camera with bracketed exposures. You will need a single JPEG (better if it´s RAW) photo, Photomatix Pro 3 and Photoshop to follow this tutorial. Have fun!

PS.: if any error, contact me!
PS2.: this is not the correct way to make high dynamic range, this is just a simulation of what HDR merging is. it´s an attempt to get those old photos of yours and put new clothes on then!
PS3.: as you can see by my deviations, this method isn´t good to recover under-exposed areas of a photo. but still enhances some parts and they look great!
