Video on Blending Exposures for Added Dynamic Range

[gmitchel]

I added a new video tutorial to my site today that demonstrates how to blend two images together quickly and easily in Photoshop. I'm a photographer, not a painter or a sketch artist, so this technique does not use the brush tool.

Please be patient with the download. It is a 12 minute Quicktime video with high quality MPEG4 800x600 video and high quality audio.

You will definitely want a DSL, Cable Modem, or T1 connection. This is a 20 MB streaming file and bandwidth is limited, so you may need to try later, if you run into a bandwidth problem. My site generates a lot of downloads, so please be patient and you will be able to view the video.

The same technique is explained in a recent PDF tutorial. Feel free to download it, also.

Credit for the technique goes to Michael Reichmann of "The Luminious Landscape" and George DeWolfe of "Camera Arts" Magazine. I've merely popularized and provided a little more detail.

Feel free to look around my Digital Darkroom and download anything else that interests you.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Mitch

Fantastic, I was meaning to work out how to do this recently, but I never got around to it. Your tutorials are always great so it's a good low effort way to learn it :)

Cool. I'm glad the video tutorial was helpful! :)

Cheers,

I was in a hurry and looked at the pdf, and didn't have much luck. I'll try again with the video when I find time - this week's been frantic! I've downloaded it, it's just sitting there waiting for me... :)
