I first dowloaded loxleys paper profiles which can be used in conjunction with photoshop or lightroom to soft proof your images. This is done so your image on the screen will look the same when printed on the paper of your choice. Using soft proofing in lightroom will also show highlight any colours that the printer is unable to print.

This exercise was to show the steps of creating a HDR image from 3 to 5 bracketed images stacked together at different exposures.

This image is made up using a mixture of multiple photographs and digital artwork and put together using layer masks in photoshop. The pen tool would probably have been used to cut the people out from other images as well as the refine edge tool. layer masks would have been used to move to position each of the photographs over a digital art work used for the background.

This image is made up of multiple images both on location and studio. layer masking is used to position the bike, seals and biker onto an image of a seascape, which looks its made up of more than one image layered on top of each other. The pen tool was probably used to cut the subjects out and some mist and lightning was added.

This image is made up of two separate photographs, the car is shot in the studio and the background is taken from an image of the night sky or a mock up in photoshop. The pen tool, refine edge tool, and layer masks are all used to put this image together. Adding light flares in photoshop helps to hide the cut out edge of the car.
