    Tremendously useful. As a beginner to photoshop, and being older, I welcome REALLY basic and brief videos that cover just one small topic.

    Thanks Colin, that was really useful. Up to now I've always bracketed exposures and merged to HDR for the best balance between sky and foreground, which can result in weirdness in the blended result due to movement of the branches. This eliminates that problem at a stroke. Thanks again.

    This workflow is very useful. I may apply it to a pair of HDR image RAW files instead of combining them in Photo Merge. I think this technique gives me more control and opportunity to finesse the light available in a pair of images.

    I picked up quite a few new tricks here (mask density being one of them) and one important lesson: getting back to layer merging. With so many AI tools in PS or like Skylum stuff, I forget I don't have to do everything one one layer...thank you.

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад +1

      AI stuff is great, also fun to bust out the manual editing sometimes

    Dear Colin Smith
    Today I learned another technique that combines a light room with Photoshop.
    I did the training and it turned out perfect.
    I would like to thank you for sharing and mentoring. You're just wonderful, I really appreciate that.

    Question: what's the difference between "density" and "opacity"? Seems like they do a very similar job (or achieve the same effect?)

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад

      Opacity affects the whole layer, density only affects the mask

  • @scomart

    Would it be possible to merge the copy and the original in LR and get a good blend?

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад

      you could, but it would look like a faux HDR and not as natural

  • @leniehulse1621
    @leniehulse1621 2 года назад

    Hi Colin, just wondering if you could have edited the two photos in Lr (one for the sky and the other for the foreground) then merged the two photos in Lr? Would that have worked also?

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад +1

      As in HDR? If I was going to do that, I’d just push shadows all the way and highlights the other way and called it a day. It won’t get the crisp clean result you see in the after image

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад +1

      Unless you are using bracketed shots there is no advantage in using HDR. There’s also a good chance the metadata won’t let you merge to HDR anyway from the same photo

  • @gleiderpilot1190
    @gleiderpilot1190 2 года назад

    First take a HDR photo, second stack those 3 images, third done. so easy

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад

      And if you can't time-travel and take an HDR photo? Here is the tutorial for you.
      If you can, I have already made tons of HDR tutorials...
      For over 10 years.

    Why not selecting the sky first in LRC, applying the changes you set on the virtual copy, then se,etc the sky, invert and do the adjustments to the foreground?

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад +1

      Because sky replacement in LR doesn’t always get a perfect mask, especially with trees. and you would still need to fix the top right sky anyway. Remember my goal isn’t to fix my photo, it’s to create a tutorial. This can be used on other types of images too

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад

      @@colingrainger2578 There is another reason too, a RAW file contains more dynamic range, so you couldn't pull as much detail from the sky using corves (in Photoshop), you would have to be in a raw converter such as LR or ACR. Technically you could do luminosity masking in there, but that's a completely different approach

  • @jonasweiss5817
    @jonasweiss5817 2 года назад

    Does this simply imply that Select Sky in both Lightroom and Photoshop with the same reduction of highlights/exposure doesn’t work well? Why go to this trouble?

    • @photoshopcafe
      @photoshopcafe  2 года назад

      The mask in Lightroom / ACR wasn’t good enough, and I can’t get the dynamic range in photoshop because you aren’t adjusting directly on a raw file. I could actually do this in seconds if I wasn’t teaching. Dupe, adjust (don’t forget we are also opening the shadows) open in Ps, select sky, mask done. Not very hard really

    • @jonasweiss5817

      Cool. I can’t stand the overlap of the LR sky mask!

  • @dannirr

    Why not just use masks in LR - all within one image?
