Hello Brandon! I love your videos, whatch some of them and applied some steps on my images, let me ask you because I don´t remember if you do that in any of your videos, how do you do merge your ambient exposures? With Lumenzia?
Thanks! Keep going with the great work!
Greeting from Portugal

Hey my friend I appreciate you coming to the channel, thank you!
What you'll want to do is reorder your 3 exposure ambient layers in this order; brightest on top, darkest in middle, and middle exposure underneath the first two.
Turn off visibility of the brightest layer on top, and with the dark layer selected, do a L2 selection with a 7 pixel feather. This will mask in your highlights on to the middle exposure.
Next you'll turn the visibility of the bright layer back on and do a D2 selection with a 300 to 400 pixel feather. This will bring back some darling shadows that they aren't as dark.
Then select the 3 layers and Shift + E to merge them into one solid ambient layer.
Those are the manual steps of doing it.
If you want to make it faster you'll have to create an action with those steps above but utilizing the custom actions that Lumenzia has included in the Settings: Utilities menu.
I'll create a video discussing it and how it's done but I can't show the custom actions Lumenzia has included as it's proprietary information.
Greg Benz has a video talking about how to use the custom actions in his FB group. It's unlisted though so im unable to share it. You'll have to join his group "Luminosity Masking" to find the video.

Hello my friend! Great video! Hey I had a question regarding shower window panes ... a lot of the shower glass walls and doors that I've been shooting have a teal tint to them. Lately I've been removing the teal from the glass to show more of the inside ... what do you do and what do you recommend? Sometimes I feel like a teal free glass panel looks more high end ... but not sure if that encroaches on misrepresentation? It's be silly if it did but I just want to cover all my bases :-) thank you Brandon 🥰

@@adrielsalazar3552 I notice that as well and correct it if I feel like it. Most houses are standard houses that I rush the edits on while the higher end ones I try to make everything absolutely perfect as much as possible. Even then I still rush the edits depending on how much I charged for the shoot

Great video on eliminating reflections but does this software allow capture reflections to be enhanced. I have a school project on capture reflection and having a hard time with this. Is there any way to darken or shade or control light coming through a window to see the reflection?

[@BrandonWattsREP]

Oh shoot, I've never had to capture the reflections before so I'm not too sure on that. I worked to decrease my reflection but never to increase it, so that's really interesting.
