in photoshop, I tried youtube, but I don't know this technique is called.

Thanks
 
its called HDR photography. its more the way its taken rather than photoshop. hdr stands for high dynamic range. what it does is takes a lot of light pictures and dark and medium, and compiles them together, to get a videogame like look.

this is a picture:

WOW both pictures look cool, and thats the look I want for that picture. Now that I know the name, I will try youtube again and see if there is a way with photoshop. Thanks, is there a special camera you need to take those type of pic's?
 
Just play around with adjustment layers like contrast, hue/saturation, curves, color balance.

yeah my old boss at the last tattoo shop i worked at was into it. bought a big camera set up, right lighting etc. its best to do to it with everything perfectly still to get the best effect.

but yeah theres ways to make ordinary pics look that way in photoshop. alot of hdr photography isnt just straight compiling of images, they do a little extra stuff. you could read up on it for days.

Nice, thanks

Sometimes I wish I knew photography or video editing, I bought a Canon HD camcorder and a Mac supposedly to shot some video and edit, I have a pile of tapes just sitting there, it's been a year I have done nothing :-(
 
you really can't achieve a real hdr look without having the same picture in multiple exposures ie. taking a photo at the correctly exposed setting then taking the same photo two stops down and two stops up. or you can take more exposures to achieve a higher dynamic range photoshop has a tool that will compile the images for you. i'd take it easy when your doing this though, some people get carried away with this and images can start to look like crap if done wrong. i've seen hdr that is just hard to look at. NO... it really hurts my eyes. good luck.
 
Did a little playing around, and this is what I came up with using this tutorial:

Let me know if you want the .psd and I'll send it to you.
