Essential Filters Course would have saved me from frustrating photos that were a result of using filters wrong or not understanding when and how to use them.  Another great tutorial series from Jay & Varina.

In Sharp Focus Webinar was informative

In Sharp Focus Webinar was informative and gave me a better understanding and appreciation of some sharpening techniques available in software I use, but that I haven’t utilized before.

How do I know if this Exposure Blending Tutorial is for me?

This tutorial is for you if:

  • You want to learn to create natural-looking images with Photoshop layers and masks.
  • You're looking for a simple exposure blending workflow for high dynamic range images.
  • You don't want to spend a lot of time learning overly-complicated techniques.
  • You already have a basic knowledge of Photoshop layers and masks, and want to learn how to use them to create stunning landscape photos.

This tutorial might not be the right fit if:

  • You are a Photoshop beginner - if you don't have a basic knowledge of layers and masks, you may want to find out more before you start this course.
  • You want to learn about RAW Processing using Adobe Camera RAW or Lightroom. We don't discuss the RAW converter in this course.
  • You want to create highly-saturated or surrealistic images. In this course, we focus on producing natural-looking blends.
  • You are looking for an automated or slider-based solution to exposure blending for High Dynamic Range images. This course teaches a manual workflow that offers ultimate control over your finished image.
