I wrote about Luminosity Masks in Photoshop already on this blog. It’s a very powerful technique I use in my landscape and cityscape photography. I find it much more efficacious than letting my camera or software randomly decide what a good HDR photo is. Yes, it may take a bit longer. But the results a far more satisfactory.
When I first heard about Luminosity Masks, it seemed quite a complex concept to me. Daunting even. But in reality, it’s pretty simple to grasp. And it’s only a matter of memorising the steps to take it further if you want anything more advanced.
In fact, I find it so simple now, that I managed to explain all there is to know in just 2 minutes in my latest YouTube video!
In the rest of the video, I then go on with editing a photo to show how Luminosity Masks in Photoshop are applied. But the tutorial is precisely 2 minutes long. And doesn’t require any plugins!
The photo I used is a fantastic sunrise I witnessed after a night spent out photographing Comet Neowise. You might remember it from this post ;) I witnessed the comet, a nice moonrise and an exceptional sunrise all in one night. And all in great company. I wish all nights out were so good! :)
There are often tutorials pretending to be this fast and then digressing. Here, my luminosity masks lesson is exactly 2 minutes. The on-screen clock can’t lie! :)
I told you it’s easy.
