If you’re like most people, you probably use Photoshop to edit photos and create graphics. But did you know that Photoshop has a powerful tool for creating HDR (high dynamic range) effects? HDR is a technique that combines multiple exposures of the same scene to create a more realistic image. To create an HDR effect in Photoshop, first make sure your photo is in the correct format. Most photos are in JPEG or TIFF format, but some may be in other formats. If your photo isn’t in one of these formats, you can still edit it using Photoshop’s tools, but it won’t be as effective when creating an HDR effect. Next, open your photo in Photoshop and select the areas you want to include in the HDR effect. To do this, use the lasso tool to draw a border around the area you want to include and then click inside the border. After selecting the area, press Ctrl+J (PC: Cmd+J) to save the selection as a layer. Now we need to make two copies of this layer – one for each exposure of your scene. To do this, click on the layer with the selection saved on it and then choose Layer > Duplicate Layer from the menu bar. Name both layers “HDR1” and “HDR2” respectively. Next we need to adjust our exposure settings for each copy of our layer. To do this, open both “HDR1” and “HDR2” layers in Photoshop and change their blending modes from Normal to Overlay . This will darken both layers so they can be seen separately when we merge them together later on. Now we need to merge our two layers together so they form one complete image with an HDR effect applied. To do this, click on either “HDR1” or “HDR2” layer ..
