    Well I admit I did ‘tweak’ the colours a little given it was taken one February morning and the winter sun didn’t quite do it for me. πŸ˜‰

    You do need a fair bit of RAM and fast processor to get the best out of PS – maybe Santa will be kind to you this year. πŸ˜‰

    Ah… never tried that so I have no idea. Only ever created a HDR image with bracketed exposure shots. Can’t see why altering hue/saturation would cause a problem though, but I’m no expert.

    How many ‘bracket’ shots are you trying to combine for your HDR?

    Okay…. I’m obviously being a bit thick here (it’s my age!), but how do you post an image to this group?

    • Hi, I did it by getting the link of one of my Flickr images ……..

      Not sure whether that helps you πŸ™‚

    Hello World!

    I’m usky… no really I am… well okay, John Page then, since you insist. πŸ˜‰
