When wanting to combine two or more photographs for a higher dynamic range (HDR) or correcting an overexposed photograph, I mostly use programs like Photomatix, however it is sometimes too difficult or frustrating fiddling with the settings for minutes getting nowhere. So, there is an easier way and in certain cases much better than an HDR especially if you want to avoid those really surreal photographs - Digital Blending is the way to go, you can be much more selective with your increases/decreases in dynamic range and get more realistic results.

Welcome to Gimp Chat, Michael.

I had to browse your gallery. What an awesome photography collection.

Very interesting tutorial on the front page.

Thank you. Visit us often.

I'll try again, but the website froze me up and dumped me offline!
