    I find 99% of HDR images horrendous not to mention nauseating. The only ‘creative’ advantage they have seems to me with working on B&W or monochrome images. Most images do better with less information, not more. Because B&W is not replete with color info, I find the HDR has a ‘chance’ to make a positive difference in outcomes. IMHO.

    I’m looking but no where here can I find what HDR means. I’d show it in the title, since this work seems geared to beginning photographer like me.

    Hi Peter, HDR stands for high dynamic range photography. You’ll find it on the first page of the book. The reason it is not included here is that NOBODY calls it “high dynamic range photography.” It’s really only referred to by its acronym in everyday language.

    I have been into HDR for about two weeks now, mainly black and white, your book has improved my output, anybody using Photomatix needs this book as I found out program items and techniques that I would have not used without the book, well written in lay mans language.
