Luminosity Masking Program Description
Have you ever seen pictures where the sun was exposed properly in a scene with a high dynamic range? A camera cannot capture situations like this by itself. Even with graduated neutral density filters, the sun is very difficult to get exposed right. It usually takes advanced blending techniques to produce natural looking high dynamic range images. One very useful technique for blending images is called luminosity masking. It works by making very specific, targeted selections for both color and contrast. Luminosity masks can be used along with other techniques such as dodging and burning to enhance images but in a more specific way. Since adjustments can be more specific, luminosity masks can help to save valuable time. Keith Bozeman will show you several ways of how he uses luminosity masks in his workflow.
