Exposure Blending Video Tutorial
Exposure Blending Video Tutorial
Blending Exposure Variants Using Luminosity Masks.
The dynamic range that modern-day digital cameras can capture in one exposure is phenomenal. However, maintaining detail within both highlights and shadows is one of the most significant challenges for landscape photographers. Although the latest cameras can record scenes with substantial discrepancies between deep shadows and the brightest of highlights, some scenes require a helping hand with either graduated neutral density filters or post-processing techniques.
In this 41-minute video tutorial, I cover several different ways to blend images using a variety of post-processing techniques with Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 and luminosity masks. Included are a couple of useful methods to combine images using simple masks without a tremendous amount of effort. Also included in this tutorial are two RAW files of the same scene so that you can follow along as I go through each step.
