Discovering the HOW, WHAT and WHY for creating STUNNING HDR Images | Greg Benz

This is the recording of a live broadcast where I chat with photographer Greg Benz, who's very much the go-to person when it comes to HDR. We talk through the how, the what and the why of creating high dynamic range images, and just as importantly, how to display them so they're seen the way they're meant to be. If HDR is something you've heard about but never quite got your head around, this conversation covers what it is, why it's worth considering and how to go about making stunning HDR images of your own.

I'm not affiliated with Boris FX; I just really like what it does, and if you enjoy experimenting in Photoshop it's well worth trying out.

BEST software for FIXING BLURRED / OUT OF FOCUS portraits

Fixing a blurred or out of focus portrait isn't something you ever want to have to do, but it's incredibly useful when you need to. Here I try out three different pieces of software and plug-ins to see how well each one fixes a blurred portrait: Luminar Neo, On1 NoNoise AI 2023 and Topaz Sharpen AI. I put them through their paces on the same image, and the winner produces an insanely good result.
