I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE HDR EFFECT WAS HARD BUT IT’S ACTUALLY LIKE A 5 STEP THING BESIDES DUPLICATING AND FLATTENING SHIT HOLY FUCK I CAN DO IT. I’M SO EXCITED WOW THAT’S LOVELY and I have to share because no one every taught me this.
Open your picture.
Duplicate layer (Ctrl+J)
Overlay that shit 50%
Flatten image (Ctrl+E)
Duplicate that one layer that you have now (Ctrl+J)
Desaturate (Shift+Ctrl+U)
Invert (Ctrl+I)
Gaussian Blur it to 40
Now overlay that B&W Blurred image
Duplicate and sharpen if necessary
AMAZEMENT WOW HOLY SHIT
MOTHERFUCKER, I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS FOR HOURS. TAGG(NG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS.
I’ve literally been doing that with my drawings as well hh
Works perfectly. I was a little confused once I did the Gaussian blur, but it worked. Magic!
