Ready to take your HDR skills to the next level? Join photographer Matt Suess as he walks through his editing process for crafting artistic, high-contrast photos that jump off the screen!
This 45-minute class uses step-by-step screencasts to show techniques and tricks, including:
- Editing with layers to "paint in" detail
- Ghost reduction (i.e. a fix when images don't merge perfectly)
- Creating the HDR effect with a single exposure
- Quickly removing unwanted objects with Snapheal
Throughout the lessons, Matt works in Macphun's Aurora HDR software (free trial here) while sharing tips applicable to all photo editing.
This class is ideal for those seeking an intermediate, in-depth look at HDR post-processing. It's a follow up to Matt's first Skillshare class on the basics: Intro to HDR Photography: Shooting and Editing.
By the end, you'll have a strong understanding of how to process your own HDR photographs — and be ready to share them for feedback with the class community.

What is HDR? Cameras can't always capture the full tonal range of an image, from the brightest brights to the darkest darks. That's where HDR (high dynamic range) photography comes in: a special technique to help you capture as much detail in your highlights as in your shadows, creating vivid imagery in otherwise tricky-to-photograph scenes. For more background, be sure to check out Matt's first class.
