    I agree that learning layers and masks is photoshop is an essential skill. Quickmask is also very useful.

    If you start using masks and selections a lot then get a graphics tablet..they are invaluable and not expensive( I have a wacom bamboo 450 and it was $110).

    Thanks David. When first read this a couple of weeks ago I knew it was good but my PP skills were almost non-existant. Now my knowledge has increased a little I gave it a go and it worked out great. You have helped me heaps.


    The only thing I did differently was that I took one shot in RAW processed for the sky background and then again for the subject. (in this case a truck) I then followed your tutorial and am very happy with the result.

    Thanks again.

    Shane.

    I've just chanced upon this tutorial when reading the waterfalls Q&A thread. It's a great tutorial - very easy to follow. It also works in Photoshop. Also nice to know I've been doing it right! I used this technique for these shots:

    Using the HDR function in Photopaint Pro X3

    Another alternative to layers. The HDR merge routine in X3 is light handed and does a good job as well.
