For the past few months, I’ve been hard at work collaborating with my good friend (and awesome photographer) Tony Sweet on a new eBook guide to Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro.  For those of you who haven’t tried it yet, this new Nik plug-in for Photoshop, Lightroom and Aperture makes creating HDR images really easy.  We even describe how you can use HDR Efex Pro as a stand-alone application– useful if you use a RAW converter like Nikon’s Capture NX2.

Obviously, we not only provide readers with thorough explanations of every tool and control in HDR Efex Pro, but we also spend a lot of time explaining how and why each tool should be used.  Tony and I provide lots of example images, and we spent several weeks creating a set of fourteen custom HDR presets that will be included with the eBook.

The Photographer’s Guide to HDR Efex Pro will be available soon, exclusively from Luminescence of Nature Press.  To be notified of the release date, sign up for my email newsletter at www.luminescentphoto.com.
