How To Create An HDR Effect In Photoshop CS5 - Photoshop CS5 Tutorial
Here is a Photoshop CS5 tutorial courtesy of Photoshop Daily — How To Create An HDR Effect In Photoshop CS5, by Jo Cole.
Photoshop has always lagged behind HDR-specific software but with CS5, Adobe has boosted the HDR functionality to new heights. The HDR Pro feature allows users to merge multiple source photos and achieve a high dynamic range. What has caught our eye, however, is the HDR Toning feature. This allows you to take a single photo and apply an HDR-effect to it. Click here to download our start file. Read full tutorial...
Photoshop CS5 Tutorial - Merge To HDR Pro - Photoshop CS5 Tutorial From Photoshop Pro Mark Galer
Here is our first Photoshop CS5 tutorial, New To Photoshop CS5 - Merge To HDR Pro.
New to Photoshop CS5 - Merge to HDR Pro
I have to admit to not being a big fan of the original Merge to HDR feature in previous versions of Photoshop and, although not a big user of plug-ins or additional image editing software, I did succumb to purchasing standalone HDR software – this has, however, all changed with Photoshop CS5.
The automated feature for creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in Photoshop has been given a complete overhaul for Photoshop CS5 and has been given a new name ‘Merge to HDR Pro’. The Auto Alignment, Lens Correction, Remove Ghosting and expanded controls for rebuilding detail and contrast are now so good it will firmly establish Photoshop CS5 as the software of choice for photographers interested in HDR Photography.

OnOne Plug-In Suite 5 Review - Photoshop Plugins Package Delivers A Big Punch At A Great Price - Plus Special Offer
OnOne’s new Plug-In Suite 5 solves six of the most frequent problems photographers will encounter in Photoshop. This suite hasn’t been granted American Photos Magazine’s Editor’s Choice award for Top Image Editing Software for nothing.
Save $100 Instantly
Save $!00 on the purchase of Plugin Suite 5 until April 30th by using coupon code PSS15 during the checkout process or use this link to get the instant $100 discount.
Here's a quick look at what each of Plugin Suite's six programs can do:
Genuine Fractals 6 Professional Edition is renowned by both photographers and printers for its finesse at increasing images to more than ten times their original size while maintaining the sharpness and detail you started with. Think of this as the industry standard for image resizing.
PhotoTools 2.5 Professional packs hundreds of high-calibre photographic effects into one user-friendly plug-in. It’s fast and easy to use. Gives your photos that pro quality look.
For the fine finishing effects — such as film edges, borders, textures and backgrounds — comes PhotoFrame 4.5 Professional Edition. Enhance your pictures with hundreds of such design effects, or simply drop your image into a pre-fab layout. Play with size, color and transparency; layer multiple features to build your own unique designs that can be used over and over again — in Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture.
FocalPoint 2 helps to control focus and minimize visual noise. Draw the eye to specific points in your images by using selective focus, depth-of-field and vignette effects. Using FocusBug controller, choose a lens to simulate and control blur levels... and in 3D too! Use the FocusBrush tool to paint sharpness or blur exactly where you want it.
Mask Pro 4 is used to remove the tough stuff — such as hair, smoke and glass — while retaining the fine detail. This one works according to color: you choose what colors to keep, then just paint away what you don’t need.
Color-correction and enhancement of your images is easier than ever before with PhotoTune 3. Finetune tone, color and sharpness without the fiddly controls of Photoshop. Especially recommended for getting accurate skin colors in your human subjects.
Once you've tried the Plugin Suite you'll see why the readers of Studio Photography have voted this suite the best plug-in for Photoshop in their Reader's Choice Awards. And Joe Farace of Shutterbug Magazine says, "Even if you only need two of these useful and amazing plug-ins, you'll wonder how you ever lived without the rest of the Plug-In Suite components. I rate it as this month's best buy!"

Refine Edge - Best New Feature in Photoshop CS5 - Refine Edge Tutorial From Mark Galer
The Refine Edge feature has been completely revised for Photoshop CS5 and now has the WOW factor when it comes to creating composite images. Mark Galer gives it a test drive.
One of the most challenging montage or masking jobs in the profession of post-production editing used to be the hair lift. When the model had long flowing hair and the subject needed to change location many post-production artists would call in sick. If you got it wrong, just like a bad wig, it showed. Extract filters, Magic Erasers and Tragic Wands didn’t get us close but we now have a new Refine Edge feature in CS5 that has eased the burden of this task and made the task easier than ever before.

Wacom Pen Input Complements Adobe Photoshop CS5 Brush Engine
Today, Wacom announced a wide-ranging support for the powerful new features of Adobe Creative Suite 5. The significant upgrades in CS5 include new pen-centric capabilities, particularly in the brush engine for Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5 software.
Photoshop users will get the most from the new brush capabilities in CS5 when using either Wacom’s Intuos 4 professional pen tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display. “Never has there been a better time for professional photographers, designers and artists to combine Wacom pen input with Adobe’s Creative Suite software to naturally express their creative ideas and increase their productivity,” said Don Varga, senior product manager for Wacom’s professional products.
Wacom’s line of professional pen tablet and interactive pen displays work cohesively with CS5 and some of the most beneficial workflow enhancements for the pen user can be found in the new brush engine within Photoshop CS5. “The Wacom pen and Adobe Photoshop have long enjoyed an harmonious and productive relationship,” added Varga. “The new brush engine in Photoshop CS5 takes that relationship to a whole new level by offering tools that integrate pen pressure sensitivity, tilt and rotation, as well as emphasize the intuitive and creative nature of the pen over alternative input devices.”
There are several key Photoshop CS5 brush engine enhancements for Intuos and Cintiq users that augment performance and simplify use. To begin with, CS5 integrates toggle buttons that add pen pressure-sensitive control over brush size and opacity right on the standard application bar. Wacom users need only point and click on these buttons to capture control of these brush dynamics.
In addition, CS5 introduces a set of pressure and tilt-sensitive Bristle Tip brushes allowing pen users to easily incorporate artistic brush strokes and effects into their workflow. “When used with the new Bristle Tip brushes, Wacom’s professional pen’s Tip Sensor technology and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity delivers a painting experience that feels just like working with traditional media,” stated Varga.
The brush preview window allows the Wacom user to see real-time brush characteristics including the angle at which the brush is being held by the user. In addition, when employed with the Art Pen, a Wacom specialty pen that senses barrel rotation (the twist of an artist’s brush) within Photoshop and Illustrator, brushes deliver a traditional media feel and empower users to reach new heights of creative expression.
The way Wacom pen users can now create and blend colors has also been vastly improved in Photoshop CS5. The Mixer Brush is a pressure-sensitive tool that allows users to blend colors as if they were wet paint. Using setting controls in the options bar, one can define the wetness and the amount of paint being mixed and applied by the brush. The Mixer Brush can be used on colors that have been applied with any tools such as pencil, pen or paint bucket. It can even be used to blend colors and add realistic brush strokes to a photograph to give it a hand-painted appearance.
The pressure-sensitive Spot healing brush takes advantage of the new Content- Aware Fill technology in Photoshop CS5 to remove blemishes and unwanted objects in a photograph. Wacom users can precisely paint over elements that they wish to remove in an image, replacing them with details that match the lighting, tone and texture of the surrounding area.
New intelligent technology offers an unparalleled level of control for the Wacom pen in the making of selections and masks. The Refine Edge Radius brush allows the user to delicately expand the edge detection area of a selection when working with complex elements, such a hair. According to Varga, “Wacom’s pen on paper feel provides a much easier, natural and precise way to follow contours in an image when working with the Refine Edge Radius tool.”
