One could argue that processing your HDR photos AFTER they have been aligned, merged and tone-mapped by your HDR software of choice be it Photoshop CS5, Photomatix or any of the other HDR programs out there. In fact, photographer Brian Matiash (who is extremely skilled at HDR photography) says this in an installment of his HDR Best Practices guides.
To prove his point, he’s started a new series in this blog called Behind the Curtain, where he shows you the tone mapped HDR image and the final image after post-processing. One of his keys to success in his post work is PhotoTools 2.5 Professional Edition. Brian has found a variety of effects that he really enjoys using to create his signature style and in this series he shares what those effects are. Take a look at his work (it’s amazing) as it is sure to inspire you (it has me) to go out and shoot more and see just how far you can push PhotoTools.
So be sure to take a look at the first installment of Behind the Curtain – The Royal Clipper. It’s amazing to see the before and after shots here.

It’s time to get our April-May photo contest going! This month’s theme is one of my personal subjects to photograph – clouds. Dark clouds. Light clouds. Clouds at sunrise. Clouds at sunset. Keep an eye out over the next 4 weeks for clouds and capture your best shot and submit your photo by adding it to the onOne Group on Flickr. Be sure to tag your photo “onOne-2010-05” so we can find it and consider it for the contest.
One new thing in this contest is that I’d like to ask that the photo you submit be one that is taken after today’s date of April 15, 2010. For this one, no digging through your archives. Go out, have some fun and shoot something new!

UPDATE: The webinar is scheduled for April 19, 2010 not April 21st as originally posted. I apologize for any inconvenience.
As many of you know, we recently fired up our Webinars again and as part of commitment to provide you with excellent training through our onOne University, we’re starting a new series of webinars called the onOne Pro Webinar Series. As part of this new Pro Webinar Series, each month we’ll be featuring a professional photographer who is using onOne Software products in their work to improve their workflow or differentiate themselves or just have fun.
This month, on April 19, 2010, we’re honored to have professional photographer Kersti Malvre be a part of our very first Pro Webinar Series. In the webinar, using PhotoFrame 4.5, Kersti will show simple and quick techniques that can immediately add impact to an image and she will also demonstrate more sophisticated customization of backgrounds, frames and adornments to dramatically transform an image or create a stunning layout.
