I am used Photoshop CS3, but you can use any version of photoshop from CS2-CS4
thalidomide01 August 30, 2010 at 8:21 am: what version of photoshop are you using?
diphax August 30, 2010 at 9:00 am: yea that’s right. But this technique is very easy and pretty close. Very nice

This is a fake HDR effect. For the actual HDR effect you need photographs with 3 different exposures. However, the outcome is pretty close and gives a High Quality outcome, not only to photographs, but for video game screenshots also.

What does HDR stand for?
