    That's a perfect use of it.

    The left side was bright and right side is very dark.

    It also brings out detail.

    If you did HDR in the first you would see a LOT more colors. A sudo HDR won't help that so much. Could though. I wouldn't HDR that shot tho either IMO. I'd try it but it might not look better

    HDR would really bring the water back and sky in the second one.

    I like the detail and color you get from them. In fact all the last photos where I am flexed out are sudo HDRs.

    Send me the RAWs and I can do them for you quick for fun it that will help.

    Fake HDR basically.

    Normally you take 2-9 different exposures and combine 3 to make your photo. Or 2 or whatever. You know this already blah blah

    Sudo is fake. Take one raw photo and make two copies one under exposed like -2 and one over exposed +2. Then combine them.

    Nothing fancy about it.

    I can do it LR super easy as LR makes virtual copies so I only have one file.

    Probably and I am sure cs6 does HDR.

    Enfuse is what I use now and it gives me the best results I think. Very happy with it.

    I guess I should also say I like HDR when done right cause it always looks more like what I really saw through out the full pic.

    Yea takes some practice. I've never done it in cs6 so can't tell ya much about it.

    I'd be down. At this point I want a 2jz in frank. But just a turbo would be so fun..I go back and forth on it all the time haha

    What spare turbo is this you speak of? Haha

    What I shoulda done is put my 7mgte in Frankenstein haha

    Yea 2jz is about 2-3k need to redo wiring and custom motor mounts. Then figure out intercooler routing.

    Swap out the JDM turbos for usd ones.

    Get a boost controller

    Custom exhaust and boom. 320-350hp

    Cx racing makes a header for 5vz so that part is easy now.


    The 7mgte would have been sweet. But didn't know it it ran.

    Sold the big as turbo for the RTT. Haha


    Still either turbo a 2jz is in my plans.
