B - A tutorial Movie showing the HDR processing I used for two different photographs
Two photographs on this new tutorial CD, in addition to the 12 photographs listed above, were processed with HDR, High Dynamic Range. This process allows you to greatly increased the dynamic range of an image, making it possible to show details in both shadows and highlights in images that have a very high contrast range. This is accomplished by combining several photographs each exposed differently, some over-exposed and some under-exposed.

HDR processing is a process that is gaining widespread interest and acceptance. It is an exciting process because it allows you to create images of subjects whose contrast range would is too large to show details in shadows and highlights in a normally-processed photograph. There are different ways to create an HDR photograph, and there are several software packages available. There are also "tips and tricks" that you have to know in order to create fine HDR images. In this tutorial I explain which software I like the best. I also go over each of the different ways you can create an HDR photograph and over which methodology gives you the best results.

This HDR tutorial consists of 2 tutorial movies, each about 30' long. The photographs I used to create the final HDR image are included so that you can follow the tutorial and re-create the image yourself.

The Master Files for each of the two HDR images are also included. This means that you get a total of 14 master files on this CD, the 12 listed above plus the two HDR Master Files. This tutorial should really be called The 14 Master Files CD!

D- The option of ordering a Matted or Matted and Framed signed print of Luminous Canyon along with your Master Files CD
You also have the option of ordering the CD plus a 16x20 mat size signed print of Luminous Canyon (10x15 print size) . Your print will be signed and matted in a hinged museum mat. The print will be done on Hahnemule Photo Rag 308 gr.

Finally, you also have the option of ordering your print Framed in a stunning hand-made Mahogany frame so it is ready to display the minute you receive it.

Luminous Canyon is one of the Master Files included on the CD. Having both the Master File and the print provides you with the finest opportunity to compare the Master File to the print and see how close one is to the other. There is no substitute for an original print. Everything else is a reproduction. Only the print shows the full quality of the original, the finest representation of the image that you can ever get.

E- By ordering the Master Files CD-2 you are eligible for a special price on the Printing Mastery Workshop on DVD.
The Printing Mastery Workshop on DVD is the perfect companion to the Master Files CD-2. The Printing Mastery DVD is designed to work as a "Workshop on DVD". It is similar in contents to my Printing Mastery Seminar except you do not need to travel and you can watch and study each presentation as many times as you like, anywhere you want. In short, you save both time and money compared to attending the Seminar.
