I have posted a screencast video tutorial showing my HDR workflow on my blog. I hope this is helpful for some of you who have asked me questions about how I create my images. The image in the video is of The Crescent Building in downtown Dallas the day after our record breaking snowfall last February. The Crescent Office Towers are 3 contiguous buildings with 19-story center structure and two adjoining 18-story structures.

Oh noes! I realized something was wrong with the workflow I was designing. Went back to sketches and BAM, fixed it.
MUST SEE BIG
See this BIG in a slideshow make sure to hit the "HD" button in the lower right hand corner......
Comment if you please but this is really just for the few folks that are still curious about my workflow.
Have a great one and thanks for stopping by!

Creating actions for future weddings is so much fun. Now I have pretty nice workflow developed.
New Presetr Fuji 400H preset as an import preset in Lightroom. Then I run the whole exported JPG folder through automated Photoshop action, which adds two Alienskin Exposure custom presets with film grain and a bit faded toning.
Most important part is the scaling, which I do atm. with the "Bicubic automatic" setting in Ps. It sharpens the grain to look even more like film.
I'm not after film look because it's film, but because it looks 'organic' (=more alive).
So today I noticed that the Beta 2 for Adobe Lightroom 3 was out, and I decided to give it a shot. Never really understanding what was that different between LR and Bridge/ACR, I decided to give it a try. What the heck, can't beat the price.
Well, thus far, I love it. I did everything to the image posted here in LR (including uploading it to Flickr!), and it was fairly intuitive for someone already familiar with Bridge/ACR. I LOVE the brushes, too! My only concern is that since I can do so much in LR, I will be lazy and not go into PS when I only anticipate making minor adjustments there.
The second purpose of this post is to invite you all to the Disney Photo Challenge Group. While I'm sure many of you are already members, for those who aren't, this is a light-hearted group with topical challenges. It's not an ordinary "awards" group nor is it a critique group. It's more a fun and community type group...it also happens to be my favorite group on Flickr. So if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot; you might have a good time there, too!
Karolina & Jacek - wedding session at Gdynia Orłowo
I must admit that I developed Delicious Recipes firstly for myself ;)
I just couldn't stand so many hours it took me to create satisfying colors through Capture NX2, so I struggled to find other way for processing with my beloved colors. And finally I developed them in Lightroom 4 with Color Efex Pro :)
Now I have such an easy way to get my RAW files developed. Now it takes 4-7 hours of work from import to LR to export for a 380-450 wedding. ( Time depends on lighting conditions and retouch needed ). Before, in CaptureNX 2 it took me rather 20-35 hours and it was definitely worth it, as colors were brilliant, but so time-consuming!
I share all the details of my actual workflow for Lightroom 4/5 + Color Efex Pro 4 in Delicious Recipes. All the instructions and tips, combined with all the recipes and presets needed to get beautiful results fast:

WORKFLOW:
5 exposures merge to HDR in CS4, save as 32bit Radiance
Toned mapped in Photomatix 3, Save as 8bit Tiff
Adjusted levels, Hi Pass, Noise Reduction, Borders and Texts in CS4, save as Jpg
Still life vegetables in preparation for the salsa.
One Canon 600EX-RT, camera left, bounced off the ceiling, at full power.
The Notre-Dame-d'Espérance church (Eglise du Suquet) is a Catholic parish church located in the town of Cannes, France.
It is dedicated to Notre-Dame on the Place de la Castre in the Suquet district, and has been classified as a historical monument since July 28, 1937 [Wikipedia.org]
Workflow: Negs processed by apetureuk.com
Raw file scanned with Reflecta RPS 10m @ 2,500dpi
Imported to Lightroom, then 'edit copy in Photoshop' selected. Colorperfect filter applied in Photoshop then saved. Colour, sharpness and N/R applied in Lightroom.
The workflow for a particular project had to be documented for all of the different parties to approve and sign off on. Completed in 2004
a sub-alpine meadow that's fairly easy hiking for my older son and not too difficult to manage in a jogging stroller or carrier for my youngest. It's not a hard trip on the wallet either since it's about an hour drive from my house. One of my favoroite local hikes.
Again, some more practice with RAW processing and conversion. I'm liking this workflow and results better than the HDR.
Not a studio photo...this was made in the field. A bit of processing of course, but nothing was added to or removed from the image. It has a certain classic oil painting feel to it, I think.

I now find myself the sole admin of four tiered groups...Above And Beyond 500+ levels one through four. It is going to take a bit of time to perform those duties, so I may not be as prompt in some interactions as in the past. As I get a good workflow procedure figured out, things will smooth out.
I recently add the 5th monitor set-up but to find out the i1 Display Pro can only calibrate 4 monitors at one time, it is a hassle process when the Xrite calibration program can not support 5 monitors at the same time, will change back to 4 monitors setup as my standard editing workflow :-)
