Step Three:
Next, let's darken the edges of the image
(very popular with real HDR images) by
clicking on the Effects icon (the fourth
icon from the right) at the top of the Panel
area and, in the Post Crop Vignetting sec-
tion, dragging the Amount slider to the
left until the edges look nice and dark
(here, I dragged over to -13).
Step Four:
Now, we're going to apply a soft glow to
the image (again, another typical effect
you'd apply to a real HDR image), and
we can do it right here in Camera Raw.
Click on the Adjustment Brush (K) in the
toolbar up top, and then click three times
on the little - (minus sign) button to the
left of Clarity. This resets all the other
sliders to 0, and then sets the Clarity to
a negative amount (-75), which creates a
softening effect. Turn off the Auto Mask
checkbox near the bottom of the panel
(to speed up your painting) and paint
over the entire image using this negative
Clarity setting, giving you a similar effect
to a soft glow you'd apply in Photoshop
as a finishing move.
