Serge, I'm an amateur who saw your video on UA-cam by accident & it inspired me to buy a second hand Nikon D80. I'm on a steep learning curve & trying to understand the complexities of photography. I love learning via your free tutorials and have paid for your apps to learning photography. However, please don't disappoint your fan base by making half baked video like this and coercing them to buy your paid tutorials. Those who love your work will buy anyways, coz your work is really awesome.
Serge - great video even if it is not complete. I have pretty much all of your training packages and have found them to be very valuable. While the workflow package does not have the final of this particular photo, it has videos that details your technique and I would encourage those who enjoy the free podcasts to buy any of your packages - you will not be disappointed. Chris
Serge I appreciate your tutorials I've been watching them for a few months now thank you for continually to upload new videos and changing the way I look at photography in a very positive way
Half baked videos? You should be grateful this quality of training is available and so much of it is generously offered for free. I respect your point of view, I just cant understand it.
great Tutorial! I love that style! I think i'm gonny buy your latest bundle (LR5 and full workflow). Keep on going Serge and thanky for your awsome tutorials!
Are you kidding me? Half videos? Whats wrong with giving some free information and asking that we pay for more? It takes a lot of time to organize, film and publish this content. Thank you Serge for all that you do! I think the info you provide is so valuable and the cost is very reasonable. No one is providing so much free information. I'm very grateful for your training and providing it at a cost that everyone can afford. Thank you sir!
I agree with Jeff. I'm new to photography, any free pointers are most welcome and Serge's tutorials are the best on UA-cam.If you like You buy. Merci M.Ramelli
Hey HardWorker, you're funny & really good teaching at the same time that's it! So it is possible watching 15-20 min videos without headache, great! Must be some kind of french way? Or just your way ;-) ? Anyway I learned masses of essential stuff in minutes which normally would take days or weeks so you're my best friend today, thank you Serge!
"Hello, guys?" What's this? Where's the "Bonj....." oh, there it is. What a relief :D Thanks for the video. I have learned a lot from you already. Keep it up!
when you are done with the first mask and then start the second mas and finnish that off, do you press command E with the last layer then? you dont mention this in the video
Hello Serge, First of all thanks for the great tutorials, i learn a lot of them 👌🏻 Do you have a secret code about how much you underexposed and overexposed in landscapes when you want to go blend (as example always +1 and +2) or do you look at the lcd screen and choose from there when the exposure is fine for example the sky? Greetings from the Netherlands
I tried blending with subject in frame and frame without subject but somehow you can immediately tell it is photshopped image. I want to take landscape picture and then subject in front in the same landscape and blend them together to get tack sharp results but somehow it doesn't work, any ideas?
Serge,my thoughtrs same as some of the other. I have your full training videos but would like to have seen your completion of this image Keep up the excellent work
***** I saw that you were syncing shadow and highlight from one photo to other photos. is it necessary to set highlight and shadow for underexposed and overexposed photos individually? thanks.
Hi Serge, There's a way to understood the settings of the 2 photos (Over and Under)? For example, how many stops for each O & U have you set, starting from the "normal"? (+1, +2, +3.... etc etc or -1 -2 -3) It's not easy to explain what I'm looking for :)
Hi i appreciate your work, im new to this blending but got a bit confused early on when you said click options? and turned screen black and faded out the whites and then did same but other way round. Could you right in here to explain how thanks
Love your detailed explanation. It is easy and well explained to follow along with. I am however having problems when it comes to edit in - open as layers in lightroom 5. That option is not highlighted and I am at a lost as to why I cannot choose it to import layers.
I love checking my e-mails and seeing that you have released a new video that I get to watch!! Thanks so much for them. I notice that in so many of your original (first of three bracketed) images your histogram looks so balanced and centred. Can I ask, what do you meter off of for sunsets to get this? Thanks
Not everyone has photoshop (myself included), so I'd recommend trying the LREnfuse (donation-ware) plugin for lightroom. I think it works well and it gives a natural appearance.
I just followed this technique but got really bad halos on my image when I put the highlights and shadows to 100 (I continued with the technique to the finished image in Photoshop but the halos are still there). Any tips?
you can't tweak the highlights and shadows to their extreme unless the original raw file (your camera) has high dynamic range. which camera are you using?
What about if, instead of merging different exposures, I want to blend images taken over a period of time, to tell a tale of boats going back and forth?
Serge, Great Tutorial. I have one question though. What is the difference between manual blending and Lightroom Enfuse? The reason why I ask is because They produce very realistic effects. Can you please elaborate on this? Or if anyone can help me out, then that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi Serge. I like your video, you are my LR teacher :-). It is perfekt. If I can, I have one question - I do the same, but if I take ma files in the PS, it make import with Camera RAW and do not use the WB from LR. Make I some mystake ? Thanks. Lubos
Wow, I thought after 4 years of photoshop practice, I knew how to edit a good landscape, but this blew my mind! Definitely going to purchase the package. Thanks Serge!
Serge, I am a big fan of your tutorial, since I like post editing and make photo has more "drama" in it. I have a request, can you make a tutorial to turn regular photo to Infrared like photo (some people call it false color). and thanks for sharing all your knowledge, really appreciate all your hard work.
Serge, I purchase the videos and appreciate the videos you post. I tried to download the podcast through Apple and the file is corrupted. Downloaded three times., still didn't play. Stops at about 2.30. Please upload again to the Apple Podcast store. I watch them when not connected to wifi. Merci
hello, I am new here. I have a question about your RAW file, and why it is dng instead of CR2. As I know, the color of RAW file convert from DPP ( canon software ) is very different to lightroom or photoshop converted. I love DPP's color style, and this is very confuse me. Because DPP is as not as good as lightroom for retouch but colors. I want to buy your tutorials, having the answer about my question? thanks.
I need instruccions on a photoshop tutorial I can't open the videos .I don't find to who comunícate all mail related to Serge i send guess go to spam because don't receive answer
Good video. I do think however that it would have been better and more beneficial if you had shown us what you did after you blended the exposures. We have already seen you blend exposures in other videos you've done so I would have liked to have seen how you arrived at the final result after blending. Still enjoyed it though and I love the podcast Serge. :)
This is great, although I got stuck at the end when I wanted to export it. Hopefully this isn't too ignorant of me, but for anyone in the same position - just click save and it will save a new file in Lightroom.
I do think you offer a lot for free and I think these are good. I guess people have an issue with the marketing approach. It might be better to do something like Phlearn does which is create very small/short but complete tutorials of lesser detail then have much longer/complete paid tutorials of separate photos and projects. I think the problem that people have is that once they get 15 minutes into a video they don't want to then realize they have to pay to see the rest.
Bonjour Mr Ramelli. Je suis frustré de voir que la plus part de vos vidéos sont réalisées tout en anglais sauf quand vous vous présenté au début. Alors, étant donné que je vous suit souvent, je voudrai savoir si les mêmes vidéos en version anglaise on peut aussi les trouver en version françaises, car je pense pas que tous ce qui vous suivent comprennent la langue de Chekespear. Merci de votre compréhension et vos prochaines vidéos
This is the first you tube video I have seen where the author gives you a "teaser" in order to sell his stuff. Big big marketing mistake on the part of Ramelli.
Sorry, Gerry, looking at it from my own angle, I didn't feel at all 'teased'. Fo me, how helpful to see Serge actually getting RAW files ready in Lightroom to send to Photoshop where they become layers. (I could never have tumbled on to this stuff!) Thanks, Serge, love your style and if you can get me going with the complexities of Photoshop it'll be worth ever dollar... and clearly that is your living.
"I'm gonna spam the hell out of you" ... Too Funny... Sometime when you can show us more of France.... When al you have is wheat and corn fields, its nice to see LIFE, elsewhere.. Love your style
Serge,I really love your work&all the free tips you provide.I've happily paid for a lot of your courses,because I wanted to give back for all the free work you do.But I would prefer not to see halfbaked vids like this!Either show us the whole deal or just show a short promo-teaser.Pls don't show us half&then raise the paywall,to a fan&customer that feels bad.You deserve all the money for your work,but pls also be reasonable in the podcast&don't forget we all came to love you for your free stuff!
I know you try to stay between 15-20min.Of course I wouldn't mind 30min,since we can learn so much.Maybe I'm also a bit spoiled from watching your full workflow course(which was worth every penny!) Serge, I hope you don't take my critique the wrong way, I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from. It's just that the break-off point just felt kind of abrupt and I'm not used to you doing that,especially when you show how beautiful the endresult was without telling how to get it.
Bon on a compris que tu préférais faire tes vidéos en anglais, mais pour tes compatriotes français pourrais tu au moins les sous titrer, c'est peut etre la solution!!!!
I'd say nothing is "wrong" with me or konspir,and I encourage you to actually read my comments again with an open mind.Maybe you'll realize then,that I don't want"everything for free"or"spoon-fed"! I've purchased a lot of Serge's excellent training videos myself,but I expressed that I'd prefer having a clear cut between free and paid contend&advertisements and the sudden cut was was surprising to me.Please don't make aggressive presumptions &call people wrong just for expressing their opinions.
1. You should always auto align layers before doing your blending. 2. Its better to use the over exposed layer for the dark rock area because more details captured. 3. You should use luminosity masks instead of just free handing everything for better accuracy otherwise you get spill over which looks sloppy. 4. Way too much color saturation! 5. Foreground is too bright! Looks totally unrealistic. Just my opinions.
OMG, Serge, please, the method "See the rest of the retouching in my paid tutorials" isn't nice. I have already bought your B&W tutorial and I loved it. Your podcasts are wonderful, please don't make them worse with half videos. Just my opinion.
Serge, please don't tease us with half baked videos! It's perfectly fine to advertise your paid stuff at the end but don't leave us hanging like that! Love your stuff so please consider not doing future "you'll have to pay to see more".
sephbox & konspir - what is wrong with you people ? What was wrong with the video - you want everything for free and be spoon-fed at the same time. When will you be putting up your own videos ?
Serge, I'm an amateur who saw your video on UA-cam by accident & it inspired me to buy a second hand Nikon D80. I'm on a steep learning curve & trying to understand the complexities of photography.

I am a huge fan of Serge Remeli's work anyway, but with that said, this has to be one of my favorite photos from him of all time !!! Simply stunning !
Serge I appreciate your tutorials I've been watching them for a few months now thank you for continually to upload new videos and changing the way I look at photography in a very positive way
Serge, your work flow amazes me always. You just made my retouching a lot better. Thank you for your time.
Half baked videos? You should be grateful this quality of training is available and so much of it is generously offered for free. I respect your point of view, I just cant understand it.
great Tutorial! I love that style! I think i'm gonny buy your latest bundle (LR5 and full workflow). Keep on going Serge and thanky for your awsome tutorials!
Are you kidding me? Half videos? Whats wrong with giving some free information and asking that we pay for more? It takes a lot of time to organize, film and publish this content.

I'm very grateful for your training and providing it at a cost that everyone can afford. Thank you sir!
I agree with Jeff. I'm new to photography, any free pointers are most welcome and Serge's tutorials are the best on UA-cam.If you like You buy. Merci M.Ramelli
youre awesome brother!! i have not seen ANYONE does this technique!! thank you
Great video, Serge. Thank you!
Great tutorial Serge! I was in Cassis two weeks ago and I fully agree to consider it a wonderfull place. Regards
Fabulous serge, thanks again, Bob,
Amazing. Just amazing!
Really great tutorials. Thank You..
Serge! I've learned a lot from your videos! Keep posting! :)
FINALLY!!! you share your raw files with us !!! ))) i think you recieved my emails and comments about it !! love you dude more than ever !)
Great technique. Thanks.
Just Awesome...I had no idea that my Canon 7d could bracket and how to use...until now :)
Hey HardWorker, you're funny & really good teaching at the same time that's it! So it is possible watching 15-20 min videos without headache, great! Must be some kind of french way? Or just your way ;-) ?
Anyway I learned masses of essential stuff in minutes which normally would take days or weeks so you're my best friend today, thank you Serge!
"Hello, guys?" What's this? Where's the "Bonj....." oh, there it is. What a relief :D Thanks for the video. I have learned a lot from you already. Keep it up!
Bonjour Mr Ramelli,
Donc si j'ai bien compris, pour la langue de Chekespear c'est gratuit et pour les français c'est payant ? trop fort.
Sir, you are the proverbial "man"!
Juste Impressionnant !
when you are done with the first mask and then start the second mas and finnish that off, do you press command E with the last layer then? you dont mention this in the video
Thank you for your effort
Hi! I tried to look for the shade option, but my lightroom does not have that option, would you let me know what to do. THankyou
Merci Serge!
Hello Serge,
First of all thanks for the great tutorials, i learn a lot of them 👌🏻
Do you have a secret code about how much you underexposed and overexposed in landscapes when you want to go blend (as example always +1 and +2) or do you look at the lcd screen and choose from there when the exposure is fine for example the sky?
Greetings from the Netherlands
respect.... you are the man 👌
Awesome work! what is your EV on your 3 photos?
I tried blending with subject in frame and frame without subject but somehow you can immediately tell it is photshopped image. I want to take landscape picture and then subject in front in the same landscape and blend them together to get tack sharp results but somehow it doesn't work, any ideas?
What about the built in DRO function in some cameras? Can that be used instead of this, or will it result in a poorer image?
Serge,my thoughtrs same as some of the other. I have your full training videos
but would like to have seen your completion of this image
Keep up the excellent work
***** I saw that you were syncing shadow and highlight from one photo to other photos. is it necessary to set highlight and shadow for underexposed and overexposed photos individually? thanks.
"I will spam the hell out of you!" haha....fantastic tutorial as always Serge!
When you take those three photos, did you change the ev? or the aperture/shutters? and by how much did you change them?
Hi Serge,
There's a way to understood the settings of the 2 photos (Over and Under)?
For example, how many stops for each O & U have you set, starting from the "normal"? (+1, +2, +3.... etc etc or -1 -2 -3)
It's not easy to explain what I'm looking for :)
where can we find the raw files? The url posted here provides no raw picture in this video
Hi i appreciate your work, im new to this blending but got a bit confused early on when you said click options? and turned screen black and faded out the whites and then did same but other way round. Could you right in here to explain how thanks
hold Alt while you adjust the white or black slider
its an advertisement only
Has anyone found these RAW files? I couldn't see those in his website.
Love your detailed explanation. It is easy and well explained to follow along with. I am however having problems when it comes to edit in - open as layers in lightroom 5. That option is not highlighted and I am at a lost as to why I cannot choose it to import layers.
I think that the layers part is in photoshop. You can't do it on lightroom only
I love checking my e-mails and seeing that you have released a new video that I get to watch!! Thanks so much for them. I notice that in so many of your original (first of three bracketed) images your histogram looks so balanced and centred. Can I ask, what do you meter off of for sunsets to get this? Thanks

half length videos are what we do not expect.
very good
hey i bought the workflow package but this tutorial is not in it! :( where can i get this??
hey I have two pictures that I need to merge but it isn't letting me combine them. Do you know why this is happening?
I am having the same problem. I am using Lightroom 6 and Photoshop Elements 14 is this the problem? Do I have to have CC and Elements is not enough?
et voila. merçi
Hi Serge. I like your video, you are my LR teacher :-). It is perfekt. If I can, I have one question - I do the same, but if I take ma files in the PS, it make import with Camera RAW and do not use the WB from LR. Make I some mystake ? Thanks. Lubos

awesome awesome awesome ). you used any filters on your video camera which you recorded yourself? or edited the video afterwards?
Serge, I purchase the videos and appreciate the videos you post. I tried to download the podcast through Apple and the file is corrupted. Downloaded three times., still didn't play. Stops at about 2.30. Please upload again to the Apple Podcast store. I watch them when not connected to wifi. Merci
Bonjour Serge. Comme toujours excellent cours. La version podcast sur i-Tune a un problème : la vidéo se bloque après quelques secondes !
hi , i already sign up in Ur website but still i didn't get the raw files :)
Waiting for new macbook pro haswell then first thing i buy would ur training sessions
wonderful serge can u plz offer the raw file of this tutorial for ur audience to edit ??
I'm proud to be french now !
How about info on light room update 5.2
hello, I am new here. I have a question about your RAW file, and why it is dng instead of CR2. As I know, the color of RAW file convert from DPP ( canon software ) is very different to lightroom or photoshop converted. I love DPP's color style, and this is very confuse me. Because DPP is as not as good as lightroom for retouch but colors.
I want to buy your tutorials, having the answer about my question? thanks.
I liked the edited picture better than the final result but that.s just me...too cold for my taste.
My Full Workflow from shoot to retouch package is still available, thanks
This is an older video. Did you get my package?
never forgets to mention that he's from Paris
I need instruccions on a photoshop tutorial I can't open the videos .I don't find to who comunícate all mail related to Serge i send guess go to spam because don't receive answer
i guess you will need after effects or premiere pro for videos
Good video.
I do think however that it would have been better and more beneficial if you had shown us what you did after you blended the exposures.
