Dave Hill Video

[Doug Nelson]

I was never able to get Dave Hill for a RetouchPRO LIVE show, but this is perhaps the next best thing.

For all the detective work being done here on RP trying to deconstruct his technique, the answer seems to be deceptively simple: thousands of dollars, a dispiriting amount of photographic talent, and shockingly little Photoshop.

My favorite quote: "HDR is the devil"
He has to use PSB file format.

Here are the final images he's discussing:

The one question I was dying for someone to ask (it sucks not being the host) is "When you're shooting an image to match up with another image shot a month ago and 7000 miles away, how do you match up the angles?"
