Photo Editing Assignment, part 1

Using one of the HDR options (Photoshop Elements Photomerge to Exposure, Photomatix Essentials, Photomatix Pro, etc.) create a single HDR image from the three photos you took for Photo Assignment, part 1.

In your description of this image on your blog or other online location, please indicate what program you used to create the HDR image and any other details you think should be included.

Description: To create this image, I used Photomatix Pro. I took this photo of the sky and tops of the neighborhood homes near my house while I was out walking with my family.

Here are some of the settings that I used to make this photo:

Since I did not have three varying shots (just same multiple shots), I varied the E.V. Spacing in Photomatix Pro to better simulate the HDR setting.

 I "remove[d] ghosts" also.

I opted for the "Painterly 4" preset.

Photo Editing Assignment, part 2

Using any of the image enhancement options (such as levels, watercolor filter, etc. in Photoshop Elements; Topaz Simplify or other Topaz filters, Smart Photo Editor; or any other type of photo editing tool, create an "enhanced" image from a photo you have taken.

In your description on your blog or other online location, please indicate what program(s) you used to create the enhanced image, what specific settings you experimented with and any other details you think should be included.
