Advanced HDR Blending
A rather long and advanced movie tutorial that shows you how I blended bracketed RAW files for maximum DR and minimal shadow noise via smart objects for maximum edit-ability. I tried to slow down enough so you can keep up on the processes, I apologize if I sped along too fast. Part of my consulting is teaching others how to dramatically speed up their photoshop processing.

Let me know if you find this useful at all

I remember this from a few months back. Watched it all. Really nice for upping the quality of your prints that little extra bit. Thanks for this Matt. Now if you put up that macro sharpening bit that I never was able to write down. =)

Floris,
Here is the link in text form.
If your on a pc, you may have to install quicktime to get the proper codec's.
