I have tweaked the sliders on the right to do many of the things that HDR does. I started here with the “HDR-in-Lightroom Drama in the Center”. You can see that I have Trey’s Lightroom Presets open there on the right and there are many HDR-in-Lightroom presets visible.
But, eventually, by using this system, you can come up with a style that is your very own. Maybe in the beginning your photos will look like mine. This ensures you will have a final look that is “different” than mine and uniquely your own. I believe that this method will allow you to create a style that is quintessentially your own! Since you have a unique personality and self, the way you choose to mix and match all the different layers will be inherently unpredictable. The final step, you will see, if you will let me jump ahead, is to layer them all in Photoshop and then combine them into something totally unique that speaks to your personality and your sense of art-self. In my actual day-to-day processing, I may make several Photomatix versions and several Lightroom versions. Today, we are going to use Lightroom to make another version of that image. So, I often prefer to use tools like Photomatix and Lightroom to create many “versions” of the image, each one just being a thought experiment. In that case, for example, I don’t like the fully saturated green shadow on the left. There are always some things I don’t love about the pure HDR result. That HDR image, to me, only informs the final image. Let’s think of that as an “idea” and we want to make more. That HDR image we just made is pretty cool, right? But let’s not think of that as the final image.
