High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mastery really addresses two audiences. First and most obviously is the group that wants to learn how to create HDR images. For them, Ben Willmore takes you through every step on how to create high quality HDR images regardless if your goal is to make photographic styled images or the illustrative, grungier look.

The next group is those who want to learn how to use Photomatix. Because the instructor spends a lot of time using the product, he really goes through quite a lot of the tools and techniques that are available from within it. That is not to say that he does not tackle a lot of Photoshop techniques, he does that as well.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mastery is available as online training from xTrain.com. There are three ways to pay, one is an annual fee of $199 which not only gives access to this class, but every one of xTrain classes for a full year. You can select the monthly fee, which is normally $29 per month, but for a limited time you can get it for $19.99 per month which gives you access to all classes for a month. Or you can purchase it by the lesson which is listed as $79.00.

I found High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mastery to be entirely entertaining, thoroughly enlightening, and incredibly easy to understand and learn from. Ben Willmore makes a great instructor who not only knows his subject, but is able to convey that subject in a manner that makes learning easy. I highly recommend this course.
