Pseudo HDR

Been fooling around in Photoshop playing with HDR and came across a technique to create a pseudo HDR using Lightroom. No photoshop at all! Here is the before image. Took this from my hotel room last month. Early morning outside DC.

I imported the image into Lightroom, and started by setting all the following to 100 Recovery, Fill, Contrast, Clarity & Vibrance. Then just kept tweaking until I got this.

  1. Gorgeous, Fred!! It is a very nice treatment for the subject. FWIW, it can be done in ACR as well as Lightroom.

  2. I like it. I'm impressed by how much image data you were able to extract and display in your final image. I'm going to give it a try.
