Ortonize with Picasa

Wow and Flutter says:

I've been experimenting with the use of Picasa as an Ortonizing tool. You can use the same process to create pretty good fauz HDR images as well.
My guess is there are others that do this differently using a variety of other post-processing but I find Picasa to be more easy and more fun.
Here is a link to my quick screen-shot tutorial if you are interested.

	sscornelius says: I've been playing around some more with this in Picasa and created this little view from the Sears Tower in Chicago from 2004. The only change from the tutorial is that I ramped up the saturation to make Lake Michigan even more blue. Posted 77 months ago. (permalink)
	Wow and Flutter says: I think this one turned out very nice with the saturation of color to give a radiating effect. Posted 77 months ago. (permalink)

	aremac says: This is my try - although I have always worked with Picasa, I never used the layer combination this way - thanks for explanation! Posted 77 months ago. (permalink)
	Julius, Nikonista FX ... says: rocket great. While processing the pictures I've think about how to generate three picts with different exposure with Picasa in order to process them with a real HDR software as photomatix. I'm thinkin' in people with cameras without bracketing function. Ideas? thanks again. Posted 76 months ago. (permalink)
	Wow and Flutter says: juliusoloc; I have done this but the results are not as I would like. Once in a while I get lucky and it turns out well. One other thing I'm doing is using Paint Shop Pro's Clarify filter process to provide a more dynamic image. This is outside the scope of Picasa of course but it comes very close to HDR. This image was rendered this way: Posted 76 months ago. (permalink)
