Stina Stockholm on HDR
A few weeks ago I’ve had the chance to feature Stina Stockholm as photographer of the week and in the comments Ivan asked
I love your work. I would love for you to write a tutorial on how to do your post editing in photoshop. especially the street pic with the brick, how do you get that depth and contrast? Have you used filters on any of these photos? thanks
Stina was kind enough to comply to Ivan’s request and shares with us her thoughts on HDR

How to solve Microsoft Vista and custom ICC profile issue
Ever since I switched to Microsoft Windows Vista from Windows XP I have been running into problems with my custom monitor profile. No matter what I did Windows Vista was switching back to the default profile every time UAC was invoked.
The obvious way to solve this problem is by disabling UAC. To do so
- Run msconfig
- Switch to the “Tools” tab
- Scroll down and select “Disable UAC”
- Click Launch and restart your computer

Photoshop tutorial: Fix blown skin highlights
This post is written by RedCrown, believe me it is a powerful trick try it out it might save you some pics
Blown skin highlights is an unfortunate but common problem on portraits that are otherwise well exposed. I’ve read and tried many techniques with mixed results. So I developed this technique, using the best steps I’ve found in the work of others. Would appreciate feedback and improvements.
The process uses three common techniques. First it targets “blown” highlights using the Threshold adjustment. Then it changes that target area to a light neutral gray using Levels and Hue/Sat. Finally it paints color over the target area.
