or in Photoshop CS2 - http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials...namic-range.htm
For those who've been asking, here's my step-by-step:
Shoot in RAW format (in this case 3 exposures using my camera's AEB feature)
Use Photoshop CS3 to crop, color correct, and convert each RAW to .TIFF
Use Photomatix (http://www.hdrsoft.com/) to merge TIFFs to HDR
Tonemap in Photomatix
In this case, I combined 2 HDRs in CS3, one more extreme one for the background/pavement and one more subtle one for the cars/sky.
Clean up in CS3
Thanks for all the comments/critiques. I would like to lower my car, but I don't have the money for coilovers (except the adobe ones
) right now and I don't really see springs as a performance mod. As for my friends, see my earlier post... surprising amount of hate for cars that are pretty much stock

Personally, I'd rather spend my money (what little I have) on performance mods, rather than slapping some cheap lowering springs on my car just to lose the fender gap. My "steps" are 1) go fast, stop fast, corner fast 2) look good. Until I can afford coilovers that accomplish 1 and 2, I'm leaving the suspension alone.
please enlighten me on why lowering a car is more important than anything else.
