raw files i can play with

[fstr21]

Considering I have never used a camera that isnt wrapped in plastic and doesnt end up in the trash I was wondering if I could use 3 or 4 raw files that someone has taken with the different exposures so I can play with hdr and toning if not no biggie but figured I would ask.

fstr21,

You may want to be sure and let us know what version of Photoshop you are using, as some cameras are not supported as you move back in versions.

Also, know that the images don't have to be RAW, as HDR supports any format. You just need good stable images (from a tripod or a very steady hand), at enough of a shutter speed difference to make it fun and challenging.

Here are some good HDR resource links. Send me an email and I can provide a download link for some high res bracketed images.
