EXPOSURE BLENDING FOR REAL ESTATE AND ARCHITECTURE PHOTOGRAPHY - A "MUST HAVE" SKILL!

Can't be bothered with exposure blending? Take the fast approach with Aurora HDR here: bit.ly/best_HDR (use ATSKY10 for a discount). Get Luminar AI for finishing your shots to the next level, here: bit.ly/Lum-AI with discount code ATSKY10
To make your luminosity masking even quicker, check out this exposure blending panel bit.ly/3dpGeub. There's an option to get it with the tutorial videos which I did, and I have to say, they are very well put together and a really fantastic resource for learning exposure blending techniques.
In this architecture interior / real estate video tutorial, I show one of THE MOST POWERFUL techniques you NEED to know if you want to be successful as an architectural photographer and that is exposure blending.
This video is thorough with the aim of helping you understand the process but also why we take the steps we do.
We'll look at preparing the files in Lightroom and then loading them as layers in photoshop. Then we'll use the "Apply Image" command on the masks to create a refined and highly detailed mask based on the brightness (luminosity) of the photos. From here, I'll show you how I use a technique called double masking to bring back the effect only where I want it, but now I can paint it in much more roughly and quickly.
The actual process only takes a couple of minutes, but the demo is longer to allow for a complete explanation. If you're interested in becoming an architectural photographer or upping your real estate photography, then learning luminosity masking and exposure blending is a must!

I don't use photoshop. I think it is excessively complex and has become a bigger priority for some photographers than actual shooting. So often, Photoshop skills seem to overshadow photographic skills. And then I watched this. It is so well explained, this Photoshop non-believer can see how great a tool it can be. Of course, architectural photography, especially interiors, is extremely challenging and it does require you to step up your game, which is why I watched this in the first place. Great job.

Great technique! I've been using Photoshop for over 20 years but I'm new to real estate photography and combining multiple exposures. I have watched a ton of similar videos in the last couple weeks, yours is the first I've seen use groups to double-mask a layer like this, and also the first I've seen use alt/option click on the mask to see the mask. Everyone else kind of treats the mask as some mysterious thing you can't see or interact with directly. One suggestion: Levels adjustment on the detail masks that you extracted from the image can be tremendous to dial in the intensity of the mask. For instance if there are shades of grey around the highlight areas of the mask but you really only want the strongest part of the highlight, you can adjust levels to crush the grey midtones into a harsher black+white.

Thank you Anthony for being so patience to explain this feature. Like you said this is very useful tool to have. One of my many questions I have at this point is when you paint white on the mask of the group highlight to reveal the window scene, wouldn't you also bring back other details around the window which you may not want such as the counter reflection or around the edge of the window. How is this different from before using the apply imagine when you try to hide the scene in the highlight photo with the black paint? You can never be able to finely paint with the big round brush.

@AnthonyTurnham 3 жыл бұрын

No worries Sompoon. Glad it's been of use. So with regards to the lack of control with the big feathered brush... yes you're right. It's very hard to mask accurately like this. That's why we use it in conjunction with the very accurate mask created with "apply image". Then you're free to be much looser with your secondary mask that you paint in.

Just set your base exposure so the dim room is bright enough and then use this technique. Once you master it you can merge very difficult, high contrast scenes quite easily.
