Easy Exposure Blending Trick in GIMP (Tutorial)

[@zaca211]

You Sir, are the man. Scanning 60+ year old slides and couldn't figure out how to get the underexposed parts to show up properly. Running 3 different exposures on my camera and blending them makes the final result 100x better.

I am a beginner with GIMP. Very well explained!!

[@martinjoseferreyra1961]

¡Mil gracias! I've been looking for something just like this for a long time, I even gave up. But you gave me the easy and free solution that I needed. Thanks!

[@babymoodlampofficial202]

Just what I was looking for as I wanted a lightroom alternative and your video taught me EVERYTHING!! Brilliant! I have to subscribe now!

[@CBTheMechanic]

Thank you so much! This video has helped me a lot! I immediately got fantastic results with my cityscapes!

[@CBTheMechanic]

Is there a way to get your e-book in pdf or a format that is readable on an android tablet? (I don't have kindle.)

[@ulftornert2855]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@soratabarcamoo1292]

Excelente, el mejor video para crear el horquillado de la exposición

[@gimbalair]

Great vid, everyday is a school day for me as inlearn how to improve my shots.

[@PCcardboard1354]

Since I have a lower-sensor size camera, this will help a ton!

[@GrimSt]

You, Sir, are the most needed teacher on KZbin for Gimp users. Thank you ! I would like to have your view on how to get moody tones. All the videos I watch on this subject are about Lightroom. I have already obtained some cool moody photos but your knowledge might be really useful. Keep it up and thanks again.

[@MJohnson-qp9he]

Thanks for this video. Would this process work for focus stacking?

[@cosmo0080]

hi, this is where adjustable layer would come in handy, thank you

[@underthedrone2735]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks! Subbed.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks!

[@weloversoftheunitedstates]

Hi, thank you fro this tutorial. GIMP isn't taking my three RAW files, do I have to do this in JPG?

[@trishfoster9102]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@blastgrinder7024]

tnx for a good tutorial!! keep up the good work =)

[@DovidSal]

Excellent..

[@tompatton2086]

The final result looked good minus the sky which was a tad desaturated.

[@mlc3ifly]

Thank you for the tutorial. I tried following exactly what you did with importing my three images. On the step where I drug the normal image over to the right side layer panel it stayed but the other two images disappeared. Do you have an answer for this? Thanks

[@MattVickers]

Any reason you didn't use the 'open as layers' feature?

[@creepycool286]

Hi, I don't have the same GIMP screen as you do how to set that up?

[@NexusBaum]

super helpful! :)

[@jmedinar]

Thanks man excellent as always

[@JeanLucCoulon]

Soooo easy! thanks !

[@palazzoneguiseppe8281]

Hi, I have a question. isn't there a plug in to do this more easily in gimp??

[@luismahieu]

super helpful but I still have a problem, I shot these photos on my drone so it wasn't perfectly stable which results in some unwanted blur. How do I fix this?

[@Aviator168]

Instead of getting the 3 photos. Can the exposure level be changed to get the 3 photos?

[@dreamcatcher3622]

Brilliant!

[@SW-Video]

Is there a straight forward easy way to blend images in GIMP for exposure like there is in Photoshop or Lightroom? Nothing complicated. No 33 clicks. Just highlight the 3-5 images and blend them for HDR.

[@warpspeed9877]

I am trying to make the same with B&W images. Is it the same procedure?

[@wilardjuice07]

Do you have a video on how to delete a sun glare from a photo? Is there a way to do that?

[@scottcjohnson59]

Would this technique work using a jpeg instead of RAW? I prefer to shoot jpeg

[@meta_creator]

Thank you!

[@Loedin_71105]

excellent

[@modern-tool-service]

same method for B&W images?

[@immofornote1621]

And here is our result in less than a milli second !

[@Shaikailash1]

I don't understand how the color > layers window is used, is there a better tutorial explaining that?

[@CaptainFancy]

None of these tutorials that I've searched show you how to first "align" all of your stacked images before you start your blending like you can in Photoshop. HOW??? I don't think GIMP can do it.

[@UNSCPILOT]

You almost certainly need a tripod and a wired/wireless remote to have any chance of making this work consistently. Handheld HDR is only really possible if the device itself can rapidly take the shots and blend them automatically, some phones can do this. Any slight movement between the shots will make them nearly impossible to fully align especially close up

[@evildiesel1709]

I didn't like the sky in the final image.

[@pnabh4032]

Or you can learn to take better pictures instead. Thats what I'll be doing, thanks.

[@kitten-whisperer]

You realize all photos are edited, right? There's no such thing as capturing an image perfectly just from camera. If you played guitar, would you so not use an amp or any effect pedals because you want to be a purist? Lol

[@pipster1891]

How do you get the GIMP page looking like the one at the beginning here (2:30)? How do get the images to appear together as thumbnails at the top?
