Using HDR Toning in Photoshop to Create a Fantasy Forest Scene. In this tutorial I’m going to show you my process for utilizing the HDR Toning feature of Photoshop CS5 in combination with a few lighting effects to create a fantasy forest scene. Here’s a look at the before and after images. Step 1 First off we need to find a good forest image to use as the base. After some searching I came across this image of a foggy forest with a tiny bit of light coming through the trees. That’s perfect that we can see the direction the light is coming from. It will help when placing the lighting effects later in the tutorial.

Open the forest image in Photoshop and load the HDR Toning dialog (Image | Adjust | HDR Toning). Below is the image after applying the following settings. This warmer tone, applied by the HDR Toning, will be the color treatment will us for the rest of the comp. Step 2 Now lets apply some lighting as it peaks through the branches of the trees. Step 3 To enhance the lighting a bit more we need to light the ground a bit. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Related Posts. Video: On Assignment with a New York Times Staff Photographer.

Fujifilm FinePix S4200 Review - Digital cameras - CNET Reviews - page 2. Fujifilm includes several burst-shooting options at full and reduced resolutions. It has a 14-megapixel six-shot burst that got up to 1.5 frames per second in my tests. After you shoot, though, the camera won't let you take more photos for quite some time while it processes and stores -- up to 20 seconds in my tests. There is a regular continuous setting that is equally fast at first, but slows down quickly, dropping to an average of 0.8fps for 10 photos. Again, this isn't bad for this kind of camera at its price, but it's not nearly as fast as you get from models costing $100 or $200 more. Design and features Though far from pocketable, the S4200 is reasonably compact despite its main attraction: the wide-angle 24-576mm-equivalent lens. The giant right-hand grip gives you something to really hold onto, and also houses the four AA-size batteries and SDHC card slot, plus it has room for shooting controls.

The flash needs to be raised manually with a button on the left side of the body. Fujifilm FinePix S4200: Camera WiFi Cards and Compatibility.
