    Great Video. How would you exposure blend 3 images? Most cameras can now do 3 or 5 AEB images at 0.3/0.5 or 1EV. Or do you do one "normal exposure" and one overexposed image?

    @@r1982ohan Thank you. I’m working on a video showing HDR vs Exposure Blending soon. HDR is where the camera takes 3-5 “bracketed photos” and you merge them in editing ( or in camera ). I think that’s what you are looking for. Personally, I only use 2 exposures these days as it’s easier to get a natural look. One exposure for highlights, one for Shadows. Good question 👌🏼

    My first time at your KZread site. I subscribed. I already was familiar with the first 2 methods you described, but my eyes were opened when you went through the third method and I will definitely give it a try. I see it bringing me many benefits. However, I am not a Lightroom user. Seems ACR will offer me the same options. My question is this: is the denoise function in Photoshop also AI as you identified it is in Lightroom?

    Thank you. Lightroom keeps getting better with each update. Once they add in “layers” so you can blend two separate photos, I’ll do another video. I still use Lightroom for the majority of my photos. It’s excellent. Good idea about the written examples. It has crossed my mind to do an in depth instructional course. 👌🏼

  • @photosonthebay9341
    @photosonthebay93414 ай бұрын

    Thank you. The last image. Yes, without a.i there is no easy way. It’s a combination of blending as per part 2, then pushing the darker exposure as bright as possible with the help of normal noise reduction. Then manually masking the leaves best you can. It’s very time consuming. There is no “simple and effective” for this one. I did another video on complex blending which might be more helpful. That’s where “Blend if” comes in handy.

    Great detailed video and thank you for sharing it with us! Wish I could buy you a cup of coffee or tea? 🙂 Around minute 15 to 22 will be my new way of blending sunrise/sunset images. Question...once you select RGB Channel, why not use Gradient instead of Brush to paint in the darker sky? Seems like it would save some time and produce the same effect in eliminating the halos around the trees/hill area. Cheers!

    Very informative video, thank you ! For me, there is another good reason to go to the AI denoise route as a landscape photographer : that is when I shoot panoramas at sunset/sunrise. As the light conditions are changing pretty rapidly, it is better to shoot all the exposures as quick as possible and then use the denoise tool in post to recover the details in the shadows. I think it is a new tool that we can't throw right away just because it is labelled AI. Some people may think denoise softwares use some sort of magic relying on content aware fill but it is fundamentally different. They use only the pixels in your image without adding anything new. The AI part is only involved in the way the softwares analyze and process the noise. We still are the ones choosing the settings and the frame to create our own images.

  • @photosonthebay9341
    @photosonthebay93414 ай бұрын

    Thank you and great reply. Some very good points in there. Yes, the denoise tool uses ai, but it’s not “altering” the image, just enhancing what you have already captured. I don’t see any issues using it, only pluses 👌🏼
