Add to CartDo you want to learn how I combine the exposure for my photo? Do you want to see how I use luminance masks to do so? Thank this tutorial series is for you.

Introducing my first ever tutorial video series “Master exposure blending“. In this video series I focus on how to combine different exposures using blending and HDR tonemaping. I explain how I prepare my photos in Lightroom, how to use layers and layer masks, how to created and use luminance masks and also how to blend with them. I also cover how I use Oloneo Photoengine and Photomatix to make the work quicker and how to blend panoramic images.

The series includes over 2 hours of video, covering these toppics

1. Welcome
2. Preparing brackets in Lightroom
3. Working with layers and layer masks
4. Luminance masks explained
5. Creating luminance masks
6. Blending two exposures
7. Blending multiple exposures
8. Using Oloneo Photoengine
9. Using Photomatix Pro
10. Blending panoramatic photos
11. Adding glow

To follow my work with luminance masks you will need a copy of any version of Photoshop. For the specific videos, I also suggest Ligtroom, as I think its the best program for photo organisation (but of course you can follow the blending videos without it). In the videos on Oloneo Photoengine and Photomatix Pro I use the respective software. In the video on Panorama blending I also use PTgui.

Additionally you will receive all the RAW files I’m using (28 in total), so you can try all the edits also for yourself.

The total download size is 1.3gb for the video files (all in 720p) and 650mb for the RAW images.

Master Exposure Blending – Free HDR tutorial

In this video series, I focus on how to combine different exposures using blending and HDR tone mapping. I explain how I prepare my photos in Lightroom, how to use layers and layer masks, how to create and use luminance masks, and also how to blend with them. I also cover how I use Oloneo Photoengine and Photomatix to make the work quicker and how to blend panoramic images.

Please note. As this series was first released a few years ago, some of the used software is already out of date. But the techniques shown are still valid, and most of them I use to this day.

The tutorial is completely free, but please don’t reupload the files to video-sharing sites. Please link to this blog post.

You can also find the whole playlist on Youtube here.

I don’t go through the edit from start to finish on the provided photos, I rather focus on the blending technique of the images, which is the main subject of these videos.
