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. 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. Now transform (Cmd+T) the soft white circle and flatten it vertically.

Introduction It must be understood that the new art of self-defence with a walking-stick, herewith introduced for the first time, differs essentially from single-stick or sword-play; for a man may be a champion in the use of sword or single-stick [EN2] and yet be quite unable to put a walking-stick to any effective use as a weapon of defence.
The simple and sufficient reason to account for this is that both in single-stick and sword-play a cut is always taken up by the hilt of the weapon, whereas if you attempted to guard a blow with a walking-stick -- which has no hilt -- in the same way as you would with a sword, the blow would slide down your stick onto your hand and disable you.

A USB stick equipped with a few essential apps might just save the day. Ah, the USB stick -- one of the IT admin's best friends. It travels with you and helps you rescue machines, work magic, and make end users sigh with relief. Some of these apps you copy to the hard drive and install; others can be run from the stick itself. A few of them are full-blown operating systems that can help you completely recover a corrupted or infected platform. Whatever the style and purpose, there are plenty of portable apps for the USB stick that can be hard to live without.
