My bigest are: 1. It does too much with reds. 2. It dirties whites. While masking/layering techniques for sure can help; they are time consuming. My preference to fix both is to use Photoshop color sliders - simple and pretty effective. I also like and use Topaz Adjust. For all its problems, HDR gives great results my agents come back for, time and time again. The very best complement is when an agent, after many photo shoots, asks me to shot their own personal residence. Then I know I'm doing a good job.

Well, e-book that is. Have you bought it? I probably will because of wanting to see how it compares with my work. I believe that the more you do the work, the better it gets too. Just like the more you take pictures, the better you get. The more you process your HDR images the better you get. Once I realized that you don't need to limit yourself to that tonemapped image, it started to change everything. But I wouldn't have realized it without the time and practice. Even if I was to read something like this, I may not have understood it without time and practice still. It's weird but true. It's constant progress and that's why I can't really rip on the stuff I see on flickr sometimes because I don't know where they are at in their journey. Many people want the quick information like this but then don't take the time to experiment with how or why it's needed. I am sure this book is pretty good. Well, e-book that is. Have you bought it?
