- Join me for an exposure blending with luminosity masks in Photoshop tutorial. To bring together the exposures I took recently when photographing a sunset I show you how I use a Photoshop layer mask technique, specifically using luminosity masking. I also cover a few Lightroom techniques for digital blending using radial filters in post processing which I apply to many of my landscape photography images.

I find I’m being asked more and more often about the equipment I use. As I’ve typed up countless replies and links and lists for friends and viewers, I’ve now set it all out definitively here: dgriff.gallery/equipment/.

One of the best videos I have watched on CZcams, straight out of the top drawer. A fantastic insight to the effort and skill that goes into crafting a finished image.
Many thanks Patrick, for such kind feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed this as it's quite a lot of work running a CZcams channel and when people are kind enough to leave comments like yours it really does make it feel worthwhile. Thanks again! 😊👍
Really good walk through David and a lot to take in and a splendid image thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot for watching, Carl - much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Great insight into your post work David. Very interesting, thanks for sharing Mate, 👍📸
Cheers mate 😊👍🏻
Thanks for doing this and for the article link. This helped a lot.
Hello Philip, so glad that this was helpful. And thanks as always for your very kind support it is much appreciated 😊👍
I really enjoy videos' like this as they are very educational. The post processing is so important to the final image, and you don't hold back in explaining how this was achieved. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks for being good enough to watch this, I'm so glad you found it helpful. And also may I say thank you very much indeed for taking the time to make contact. It's really good to know that people find my channel helpful and, hopefully, entertaining! 😊👍
Great tutorial David. Intrigued by the luminosity blending mode technique. Thanks
Hello Michael, thank you ever so much for watching I do hope this is helpful and I can strongly recommend the link in the description to the PetaPixel article as it explains it very clearly. And once you have got to grips with it you should hopefully find it's a really useful technique 😊👍
As always, a Pleasure to watch and Listen to, and to top it all Very Informative.
Hello Graeme, many thanks for watching and letting me know it was in some way helpful, always appreciate your support! 😊👍
Interesting video, thanks for sharing with us your process. Knowing how you're going to process an image is really helping you on the field.
Yes it certainly does!! 😊👍
Lovely concise tutorial again, David, easily followed even in my jetlagged state. Hope some of my holiday snaps will justify that level of treatment! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brian, I take it you're back home now then? Hope you had a fabulous trip. And many thanks as always for your kind support! 😊👍
Hi David. Yes Jordan was amazing and Oz was full on family. We’re missing the 30deg temperatures and the sunshine at the moment.
Great video. It is very useful .
Hi David, thank you ever so much for watching. So glad this was helpful 😊👍
I do always enjoy watching tutorials and was interested when I saw exposure blending in the title. I have tried to work with luminosity masks on numerous occasions and have always failed - infact I don't do any layer masks either as I have always managed to make the image worse rather than better - especially around edges n stuff. I think knowing or having some idea of what you want to achieve is another reason that I don't get consistant end results.. my workflow is very hit n miss. One day the blending might just fall into place with me... until then I will do the lightroom hdr option and play about. I will though have a look at the peta pixel link, who knows this is the one that might be the key.. all good as always Mr G.. thumbs up n all that :)
Hi mate, to be honest it took me quite a while to get to grips with using luminosity masks effectively, and that's coming from someone who is used photo shop on a daily basis professionally for about the last 20 years! But in the end I felt it was worth the effort because it really does make blends much more natural and allows you to combine images at extreme ends of a dynamic range scale, for example in this instance there is no way I would've been able to do anything with that foreground to the extent that I did without this kind of technique. Many thanks as always for your support, totally appreciate it! 😊👍
Maestro...
Thanks as always for your really kind support Gary, it's always much appreciated 😊👍
Try Lumenzia Photoshop Panel for professional Luminosity Masks. You save imense amounts of time and get professional Exposure blending.
With a normal Luminosity mask action you're limited to preset luminosityu masks, that definetly not match every shot.
Lumenzia is the advanced version of Luminosity Masking Panels out there, and not limited to only Luminosity. It got infinet masks, color masks,exposure blending, saturation mask, ....etc...
++ all the tools to apply the masks and workflows for every bit you're doing with the Panel and more.
Google it and find out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and leave such helpful advice, I am sure that other viewers will find this really helpful 😊👍
I really like this tutorial. I wasn't aware that there is such a lot of switching between LR and PS and back involved… but as you explain it, it makes absolutely sense.
I didn't use luminosity masks up to now, but used the PS sliders in the layer-mixing-options (don't know if this is the correct title for that) instead. Is there a substantial difference between these two approaches?
Thanks again David!
Hi Markus, great to hear from you and thanks very much for watching. I'm afraid I'm not too clear on what you mean by PS sliders? But if you're referring to blend modes, then yes there are a lot of similarities using "Blend If". The thing is with Photoshop, of course, there are usually half a dozen different methods of achieving the same thing. So I guess it's just a matter of what you understand and what you're familiar with. There's really no point in learning lots of different ways to do the same thing as long as you can achieve the effect you're looking for 😊👍
Did you use the auto-bracket function, or do you manually expose everything?
Hello Mike, many thanks for watching. To answer your question I do manually expose every shot. In this case, because there was quite a bit of time separation between the foreground shot and the sun on the horizon shot about 20 minutes later. But to be honest, even if I were to capture more than one exposure simultaneously I will often do that manually simply because it's what I'm familiar with, and it allows me to set the exact exposure separation rather than be forced into a specific number of stops over and under. That's not to say that using bracketing isn't a perfectly acceptable method of capturing exposures, it's just a matter of what you're familiar with and what works best for your particular workflow. 😊👍
Have you checked out Raya pro and Lumi32?
Hate Raya Pro, but bought Lumi32 on Friday when it came out - that one's not bad 😊👍
