In today's Challenge Jimmy, we look at how to process a challenging landscape using luminosity masks and 4 exposures. Here we also use Frequency Separation, and we find out how to deal with moving branches between exposures.

    Not many upsides to this quarantine thing, but getting a detailed tutorial like that from you is certainly one of them! Thx for taking the time to do that. I need to use that frequency separation technique more often. IM and RP are key tools in my arsenal. I’m glad you’re staying home and safe. 🥂

    At time 4 to 5 min you talk about halos in the distant ridges on the left. There is a sensor dust spot on the upper right which also has a halo, so there is some contrast processing on the raw file I suppose.

    Hi jimmy. Great to see this series back and this was a very helpful video especially for when some subjects move in the image like a tree. I have one recurring issue however in photoshop and it’s not necessarily connected to raya pro but when I select my mask and go to paint in the sky, the brush still slightly paints in the bottom exposure which is not part of the mask? So when I paint over areas which are not selected the brush still brings in some of the top layer which I don’t want. Any suggestions here?

  • @JimmyMcIntyre

    @JimmyMcIntyre

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hi there, This is because the mask is not contrasting enough. Try creating a really contrasting mask, completely black and white. Then try brushing. If it stays within the mask, you'll know you need more contrast masks.

    Hi Jimmy, a question, why did you do the first dodge(to the ground) on the stamped layer, and do the second dodge(to the sky) on a new layer with soft light mode? what is the difference of these two different types of dodge technique?

    Hi Jimmy, nice video, love your tutorials as always! In this tutorial, you start with 4 different exposures and adjust them one by one. In the real world, what if I only took one exposure? Can I use ACR to make extra three different exposures and then follow work flow? Or, I have to remember to use bracketing with different exposures whenever I want to use your RAYA PRO for post editing? Thank you!
