I am landscape photographer since 7-8 years...and i know alot alot of stuff...and i must say,this is the best and simple and natural method that i have seen i my life,big thanks !
Thank you very much. 🙏
This is the best tutorial and easiest one to understand about luminosity mask blending which is very confusing and intimidating.
Thank you. I like to make my videos very simple and to the point. 🙏
Love the way you keep it simple… Thank you
Thank you. It can get very complicated quickly. So that’s why I’m here 😃👌🏼
Thank you. As now with this simpler way with Luminosity Masks I can actually improve my skills. Your clear steps & hypnotist voice makes understanding much easier for me. Thanks again.
Thank you. 👌🏼
Excellent explanation. Thanks
@@rajdeepchakraborty3259 Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. 👌🏼
Thanks. Very easy to follow and really good for beginner....
Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is a lot easier and just as effective and using layer mask plug ins. I do use plug ins but this is a great way for most of the images that need exposure blending.
Thank you. Yes, I still use this exact process very regularly. Very simple and effective 👌🏼
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you and my pleasure 👌🏼
Really love the trick CTRL+RGB for the luminosity Mask, Thanks for it, definiteli easier than creating a mask with zoom 300%, Just inscribed myself
Thank you and welcome. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is fantastic and easy to understand thank you, I subscribed and will seek out all your other tutorials...
Thank you very much. Glad to be of help 👌🏼
This is incredibly
Thank You!
Thank you very much 🙏
Great and simple tutorial!
Thank you 👌🏼
@@photosonthebay9341 quick question, I have an exposed photo with light streaks, how can I make the light streaks more dominant on the underexposed photo? Because I will be blending the underexposed photo into the exposed photo…
Ty, sir. Subscribed.
@@Tubularjake Glad to be able to help. Thank you. 👍🏼
great video very useful
Thank you
Perfect , well layout and thought of step by step , easy to follow for beginner and excellent tutorial , your lesson is one simple - deep detail task , blending using luminosity tool which is all newbie need . Are you base in Melbourne ?
Thank you. We did live in Melbourne when I took this photo. Now based in Queensland 🏝☀️🌊
Thank you for this! I tried installing gimp as it was free spend most of a day watching tutorials to do this exact thing with a night scape and couldn't make the program work as intended, Installed PS and watched this got it done in 10 minutes. knew is was better off the the adobe product as I already use Lightroom.
No problem and Yeah, Gimp is ok. But Photoshop and Lightroom are so much better. I’ve tried everything and just keep coming back to Adobe.
@photos on the bay, this is magic and you are a magician, mate.
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the turorial
No problem. Glad to help 👌🏼
This was exactly what I needed! Do you have a focus stacking tutorial?
Thank you. I don’t have a focus stacking video yet. But, it’s definitely in my list 👌🏼
youre the goat brotha
Thank you
Nice photos. Have you tried blending using Blend If sliders? I think it would be a little easier than a luminosity mask. Or perhaps doing a merge to HDR from Camera Raw or Lightroom. Great job on the video.
Thank you Clay. I have not tried Blend if sliders, I will check it out. I do occasionally use the HDR merge, but I find the results can be very hit and miss. Thanks again for the feedback 👍🏼
@@photosonthebay9341 Check out Blake Rudus’ UA-cam channel (F64 Academy). He has some great tutorials on how to use BlendIf.
Blend if will be easier. But both they have pros and cons. Personally i prefer blend if.
@@sandeepjoshi660 thanks for the advise. I had a bit of a play around with blend if, and must admit I didn’t get a smooth blend as quickly, and it appears a bit more involved than what I use. Seems like a good option thou. It would be great for completely replacing a sky. I’ll have a play around and see what results I can get 👌🏼
Thanks guy!
No problem. Thank you
Is this still best/easiest way to exposure blend or do you have an updated video? Amazing stuff btw!! gas prices going back down so I’ll be heading out, been a while. Appreciate the content!!
Thanks Mike, I still use this method a lot as I find it the easiest. Luminosity Masks are the best way to blend, but creating them can be tricky. You can buy add ons that make the process easier. Check out “TK Luminosity Masks”. Have fun, and thank you 👍🏼
great video! how to blend in when you have three exposures to blend in. the first two are obviously under and overexposed and the third one with a proper exposure.
This technique will still work with 3 exposures. I pretty much stopped taking 3 exposures a while ago as I’ve found two to be enough, and easier to work with. 👌🏼
@@photosonthebay9341 thanks for your reply
wow
Thank you
helpful
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Any tips on how to blend the foreground/sky intersection seamlessly around the spaces between trees with leaves? (Especially when the tree is blowing in the wind between the different frames.)
Good question. That is one of the hardest things to get right. I have another video on complex blending. Basically use the “Blend if” method. With multiple exposures in the wind, choose one slightly underexposed image and work from that. Multiple exposures are not ideal under windy conditions. I am actually working on a video now “How to get the most out of a single exposure”.
I suppose one could use a graduated ND filter when shooting in tricky conditions.
@@anzaeriaGraduated filters are fine for straight horizons, but wouldn’t be the best option in this composition. 👌🏼
I have seen examples of graduated filters used with images where objects stick out from the horizon. Obviously, they don't look realistic in those scenarios but they can still look good in a kind of stylish and artistic manner. @@photosonthebay9341
@@anzaeriaBracketing and masking gives much more control than graduated filters.
Just found You :) I have been struggling getting started with PS,,, I will ck out what You have (NEW SUB) ThankYou :) :) :)
Thank you. Enjoy.
I thought once you use the Luminosity Mask to select certain area, the brush won't paint over the unselected area. Otherwise what's the point.
Luminosity Masks paint over all areas depending on how strong the mask is. The point is you get a much smoother transition. The stronger the mask, the less that gets revealed. If you are looking at not painting over a certain area, you probably don’t want to use Luminosity Masks. Check out my selective Blending video. 👍🏼
Im on the brush with the mask selected and it just paints over the whole image, it doesnt get affected by the mask?
Maybe just start over. Be careful not to click anything once the luminosity mask is activated. I still use this same process and works fine 👌🏼. Good luck.
2:01 I would just copy and paste it then no alignment is needed. So even easier.
Yeah, good option 👌🏼. Can also “open as layers” directly from ACR. Even quicker again. Lots of options 👌🏼. Thank you
@@photosonthebay9341 Whati's ACR?
@@photosonthebay9341 It's Adobe Camera Raw right?
It was a blend, just not a realistic result. The foreground was way too ligth.
It’s just an example. Not a full workflow. But thanks for the comment anyway.
