Of course, there are those who believe that an image should come straight out of the camera as perfect, with no need for any retouching.

When taking digital negatives and processing them for a completed product, techniques like high dynamic range processing can allow for more creative control of an image, which is precisely what this tutorial covers.ĭynamic range can be a touchy topic when to incorporate techniques to obtain more range, when it becomes too much, when is it even needed, and so on.

Postproduction for photographs, in our digital age, seems to be a never ending topic particularly since cameras and choices of software are always improving with ever better capabilities.
