Nice tutorial for premium members
but i’m afraid that you will make all tutorials just for premium users soon
I agree!!!
If they did, they’d probably lose a ton of advertising money and due to dramatically decreased site traffic.
hope they won’t =)
they won’t, for sure ;)
do any of you know how to get this effect on you photos?

thanks nick, but he told me it was not HDR, but nothing else. stuckincustom is great, thats how i learned about HDR some years ago.
There is another photographer named Dave Hill that has a similar style.

Here is a tutorial on how to achieve an effect SIMILAR to the one you are looking for. Of course you still need a great source photo and some awesome photoshop skillz. There still isn’t a “make this look cool” button, thank god or us artists would be out of a job. :)

Hope this helps.
Thanks Matt, yeah i keep telling my wife that there is no button you just push. i will check this out, i also found some at adbuseedo’s website that might help.
very nice thanks a lot
Kinda curious towards this one. I saw the artwork on Creattica. Looked really good. My compliments and hat is of to you Teemu!
With kind regards from the Netherlands,
Philip
Great tut…really interesting..Great technique…like the output very much…good work..keep it up..
geir Benny Nystad,
try taking the photo using HDR and then duplicating your bg layer applying the Filter>Other>High Pass filter to it. change your layer mode to multiply or overlay, and change the opacity down. this will get you started.
i sent him a message some time ago, but then only thing he said that it was not HDR.
Very Nice tutorial, all the elements work well together and look natural.
very nice post thnx for the informarion
This tut makes me want to get a plus membership…this is the most professional looking photo manipulation i’ve seen on this site. It all looks 100% natural…kudos to the tut writer!
I’m diappointed at having canelled my premium membership as I would love to try this one out :) Looks really fantastic.
Just downloaded this tute and not happy that the source files are ridden with watermarks!
At least supply stocks with the files so we can try and replicate.
the source is watermarkt because otherwise you could steal it and call it your own …since you have the psd file
Usually you can’t supply stocks with a tutorial because it’s against many stock photo’s terms and conditions as PSDTuts+ receives money for the premium membership.
I don’t think they will publish only premium tutorials because this mix of free and payed tuts is interesting for the users …. i like the final image with its blue tone !
The atmosphere looks a little like the one from my tut :

maybe i will try to add it a more natural light like in this premium tut :)
umm..
i see the final Result is Good , i Love the colors !!
keep Up
I’m very poor for Adobe photoshop. could you help me ?
Nice ))
Im a premium member, do we have to pay to use some of these source files. They werent on the download and on the stock site dreamstime it looks like you have to sign up and pay, if so thats a farce.

I’m confused, excuse my ignorance, i’m a premium member but where is the actual written instructions on how to do this tutorial? When i download the zip its just a bunch of images? PLEASE HELP ME OUT
I had the same problem- I’m a premium member and downloaded the zip file and it was just a bunch of pictures. The pictures are the tutorial- kinda sucks. there is no in depth tutorial on this one. I didn’t like this one as a tut at all.
All of our tutorials include an HTML file with the text and images that you will need to complete the tutorial. Take a look in the root folder of the download. It should be there as an index.html.
Hi! Thanx for the good tut but sometimes you don’t describe all steps.
For example — Step 3 of this tutorial doesn’t contain any info about changing Gradient Map blending mode to Multiply and Opacity to 40. Thnx to the Source file! But I spent a few minutes to find it out (:
And I still didn’t get how u created shadow of a bear from a Bear layer copy. In source file it looks like masked black. Or do I’m miss something?
