Well remember, he's Asian... He has to show you up to make up for his small...... memory card...
I believe that was added in CS3. I've tried it a few times and it's been hit or miss for me. Photomatix was more consistent in terms of quality. There was the odd one that turned out better in Photoshop.

Photomatix will do it from a single exposure? I've used Photomatix before and I always input multiple exposures. What impressed me about this is that it achieved a similar result from one exposure.

You can do it w/ a single exposure w/ the Photomatix plug-in..not the standalone program.

What the hell is brokeh? Some sort of interwebs speak?
BTW, I've been working at lower f/stops. Here's the EXIF data on it:
Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 96 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: -1/3 EV

Flyin, could you take 2 or 3 shots of that plane and combine them to the get the wings in the shot as well? Should look pretty good.
Sleeper, how far are you from the tree in the first one? I want to try a few shots like that when I get my 35 f1.8.

Yeah, I plan on doing a HDR shot of that plane. Actually, I have it lined up to do some air-to-air shots of it sometime too, but shhhhh, secret project...
lol @ brokeh
yes! f/8 seems to be the best fstop setting for the 18-55 kit lens as well as the 55-250. nice shot!
in the two photos I posted I was about 15 feet away from the tree. I just manually focused to the minimum focal distance and took the shots... I didn't want to mess with having a foreground subject, I just wanted some blooming Christmas lights. it makes it a lot easier. Also, the DoF preview was nice so I could see what the shapes were going to be. at f1.8 I had gigantic circles... as I stopped down, I got more and more well defined pentagons. That's because I have a 5 blade aperture in my lens. You might get a different shape if your aperture is different. here is the same shot at f1.8:

its part or all of the shot being intentionally out of focus... like the nifty pentagon effect from that xmas tree's lights... coming from the 5 aperture blades in the 50 1.8
Ha... I was wondering if anyone was going to ask that.
Image > Adjustment > Shadow/Highlight...
Defaults to:
Shadows / Amount: 50% (I set to 35% in example above)
draws out detail in the dark areas
Highlights / Amount: 0% (I set to 35% in example above)
draws out detail in bright areas
You can also click the box next to "Show More Options" to dial in the desired effect.
