...that our Before-and-After Comparisons give you a quick insight into the evolution of an image? They present the stages of the post-processing work from the source photos to the finished image in three simple steps.
...that the Making-of section provides HD time-lapse videos that take you on a journey through the complete post-processing work for a given image? You can pause at any point and inspect the tools and the parameters used.
...that our Dynamic Before-and-After feature allows you to make a direct comparison between the photo straight out of the camera and the final image? There is no better way to see the difference.
...that you can download full-resolution source photos of the images on this website in our Pics to Play With section? Test you processing skills and compare your style and abilities with others.
...that you will find hundreds of HDR photography resources in our HDR Resource Index? It contains photographers, communities, tutorials, books and more. Access all there is to know about HDR from a single place!

About Klaus Herrmann
Very useful video production and general website to learn step by step how to achieve great processing results. I will try to integrate some of the hints into my future projects.
Unbelievable how you managed to overcome the technical default of your camera.
Thanks for the inspiration. May the sound of your shutter never end.

Another stellar video – and I watched the whole thing! Usually, I would have lost interest a few minutes in – nice job!
However, it would be great to see the text overlays to see what you are doing – that would be the only suggestion I have.
Thanks for sharing these – your work is outstanding!!!
Thanks for all the great comments, Scott!
I will try to include text overlays next time again!
Cheers
Fantastic work and I am awestruck with your meticulous attention to details! As mentioned above (I am a basic CS5 user) some text breaks introducing the step would be awesome – really interested in picking up some technique tips -;0)
Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback, John! It’s great to hear that you like the video!
As a reaction to public request
I have included the descriptive text in my newest “Making of video” again. I am not entirely sure though that stopping the video at many points to include bulks of text would be good. After all, each of these videos has a certain esthetic flow to it, at least in my opinion. And this flow would get lost. So I hope subtitles will do.
Thanks again for your comment!
Cheers
Totally, totally AMAZING! I have no words!!!
Klaus, if you aren’t the greatest HDR expert in the world I’d like to know who the hell is. Your work is magnificent! Thank you for sharing so much of what you do, you are incredibly gracious and a wonderful tutor. Speaking of which, if you ever put together a training tutorial I’ll be first in line to purchase anything you care to produce. Thanks again.
Thank you so much, Steve!
It’s commenst like yours that give me energy to do what I do. I will certainly let you know when I have my “premium content” ready.
Cheers
Klaus
