Hdr

I have tried a few HDR shots lately and I'm having some problems. I use photoshop and click on automate-merge to hdr. I use three images; one at regular exposure, one under-exposed, and one over-exposed. After merging them, the result is an image that seems brighter than the brightest of the three exposures. It doesn't look like some of the other hdr shots that I have seen. Any suggestions?

The problem is that the old PS Versions (Up to CS4) can create a HDR Image, but aren't able to do tonemapping (= Rendering the HDR Image so it can be viewed on a normal screen). What you need is either CS5 or a programm like photomatix. Alternativly you can combine the images in Photoshop yourself, but this takes quite a lot of work.

if you get so difficult try photomatix..in ps... you've to arrange the exposure images in right order as

underexposed at top and overexposed at bottom to get the HDR also the next box resulting is that how much exposure you want you can pick among the three resulting images

i hope you get an idea
