Take a rather ordinary shot of a landscape and by using a Plug-in called Virtual Photographer by
OpticVerveLabs and you can create a simulated HDR effect such as the one I have done below. It does help to use a photo which has some strong contrast to it, but you can use ones without. You just won't get quite the same 3D effect. But try anyone you like just to learn it.
This is the first time I've used this so the effects are not fully realized. The effect I chose are harsh & sharp by utilizing 'Clear' as the effect, then did a Layer Adjustment and filled with a dark gray to overcompensate for a overexposed background and some too bright highlites in the grasses. Within this plug-in are 24 Color effects and 30 B&W effects with sliders for strengths. For the soft effect without using any layer adjustments see this one. Even the Soft one has more Pop than the original. Focus on the grain of the bark and the individual grass blades.
It is a fun program to use, but it can also produce some really Professional work if the time is taken to massage the tools within. Take a look, try it out as the Download is Free. Here is a brief description of their
tool Enjoy & get back to us with an example from your photo sharing site with a link, or a Up or Down ranking.
