Lightroom Tutorial: HDR Look with a Single Image

This is a Lightroom Tutoiral on how to get the HDR look without having to merge multiple photos together. The concept is simple - we're going to pull back the details in the highlights and in the shadows to get the effect of having a larger dynamic range. To do this, we're going to use the Highlight and the Shadow sliders. By pulling back the Highlights slider, and pushing forward the Shadow slider, we're able to pull back a lot of the details at the ends of the tonal spectrum. You do not have to push the sliders to the end, but we're going to do that for the sake of this demonstration. Lastly, we're going to use the Split Toning feature to give more dramatic colors to the image.
