Hi
I'm a student with a medium photography skills. I understand what shutter speed, aperture, exposure, focus and ISO are, however I usually don't shoot in complete manual (just AV or TV mode). I use a Canon 600D with 18-200mm lens.
I take most photos as JPEG's, however when I want to make it good I take in RAW. Now I've got about 10 of these and am not sure how to tone map them to get the amazing cloud effect and how to make them HDR (all from the single RAW).
I want a simple piece of software that won't make me spend ages adjusting sliders (so, lets say just one or two things I'll adjust) that will let me do both of these. I already have Aperture (latest version) and Photoshop CS5 Student Edition. I can only buy one piece of software, and it would be good to do it for less than $30.
Any ideas? I want good HDR stuff and am prepared to spend, say, 5 mins on each image, but I don't want to be manually adjusting lots of things.
Any ideas on what I should get?
