“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” – Charles Mingus

By Mark Nelson | Published: June 29, 2010
Advancements in digital compositing have led a formerly complex process and technology to become mainstream. High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) is now a one-click process with Photoshop CS5.
