No fuss, no muss, no clickbaity title? This is so rare on youtube now. Subscribed!

[@jimwhite1050]

Just what I needed to get started in exposure blending. Thanks so much.

[@NicolajVR]

Thank you very much, I have searched for a while now and all the other videos was always about photoshop, and I wanted something, fast, easy and in Lightroom, great simple to the point video!

[@PereaPhotography]

Happy to help!!

[@miloradkaravidin8818]

Great quickie once again. Nice tips and explanation. Keep safe!

[@PereaPhotography]

Milorad Karavidin thank you so much!

[@R.Hogarth]

Great Video. I use ON1 and it is also very easy in ON1, but I like to watch these LR tutorials because several of the tips translate easily from one software to another. Thanks.

[@PereaPhotography]

R Hogarth that’s great to hear! Thanks man!

[@SteveP_2426]

I use ON1 too and like you 'translate' these tips across.

[@antonisdavis2288]

Very nice video!!i can use this method shooting interior without flash)with the blown up windows and use blending method in lightroom?and without using bracket method!!just use the shutter speed only??

[@markmozley5604]

Clean and straight forward. Thanks.

[@PereaPhotography]

Mark Mozley thanks for watching Mark!

[@cii1072]

Informative. I'll look forward to more of these.

[@PereaPhotography]

cii1072 thank you for watching!

[@phynx2006]

This is one feature i use quite often, the use of the Range Masks is something I need to use more. Another great video. Hahaha love how Chris is always in your pictures 👌

[@PereaPhotography]

phynx2006 haha yep she does it on purpose. Thank you for watching Dave!

[@hoanyariiteahunter7400]

Good ! Thank you

[@evtimstefanov8377]

Thanks for the video mate but why don't I see those hdr, panorama options active after I sellect 'photo merge'?

[@Josematamoros1]

great info! Thank you Mike 👍

[@GauravKumar-ec8vd]

Thanks a lot Mike for the simple trick 😊

[@PereaPhotography]

Gaurav Kumar thank you for watching!

[@GregSheard]

Always a great tip to learn along with focus stacking which you did the other week 🤘

[@PereaPhotography]

Greg Sheard Photography thanks buddy!

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Great job mike and you almost make the 5 minutes .. you did a whole lot better than P mcK two minutes :-) well presented and clear my friend

[@PereaPhotography]

Darren J Spoonley Photography haha thanks buddy!

[@bobby350z]

Nice video. One question I have is how does Lightroom decide which parts to pick from which image when doing the blend?

[@PereaPhotography]

I don’t know the specific algorithm, but my guess would be using the higher luminosity values of the darks, maybe an average value of mistimes, and lower luminosity values of the brights. Making sure to use the best from each exposure so the highlights and shadows both have detail. In my experience it’s usually pretty accurate.

[@agustinmunozrocha]

Thank you bro!

[@PereaPhotography]

👊🏼

[@timwebber8630]

You do such a great job, Mike. I am fairly new to Lightroom. A lot of my photos I leave "un-touched" due to being afraid of messing it up (which I've done a lot). I just don't know where to learn how to use Lightroom in a comprehensive way that allows me the competency to use it proficiently. (I've watched all sorts of KZbin videos) There is so many options it's overwhelming. If you have any good sources, please share! Thanks! luv yer work!

[@PereaPhotography]

Tim Webber thanks Tim! I have some tutorials on my website that are great for people wanting to learn Lightroom and Photoshop. They aren’t “how to edit your photos,” but more of the features of the software, how to use different panels, importing/exporting etc. thank you for watching!

[@timwebber8630]

@@PereaPhotography Okay, great. I'll take a look. I appreciate you taking the time to help out the community. I wish I could give you more "Thumbs-up"!!! : )

[@benx5781]

Thanks

[@PereaPhotography]

Hrishikesh thanks for watching!

[@photog1529]

Nice, clear explanation. I'd like to see you cover your method of light painting if you haven't already covered it.

[@PereaPhotography]

Photog 1 thanks man! Not a bad idea!

[@annaikonocampbell]

Do you think this will work for real estate photography? There’s different exposures with windows and shadows and lights and stuff like that

[@Linxtec]

Mike thanks again for your time, did you use the bracketing option on your d850? Or did you change setting manually?

[@PereaPhotography]

THE CUBAN CHEF for this shot I did it manually. The bracketing option is great too, but I find it much quicker just to adjust it myself. Thank you for watching!

[@williamlouis1757]

Thank you 👍

[@PereaPhotography]

William Louis thank you for watching!

[@Highdepthfilms]

Great tip on blending exposures. Thanks for sharing Mike, maybe the next 5 minute could be on eliminating items in your shot with the lasso tool. Cheers

[@PereaPhotography]

James Novaes thanks James! That’s a great idea!

[@decoff]

you should consider doing a more comprehensive tutorial on this. Have you considered doing an ISO bracket, rather than SS, via cam ranger ?

[@PereaPhotography]

Daniel Ecoff great idea!

[@heinrichkessler7655]

Hallo zusammen, Mike deine Frau darfst du auch zeigen im Bild, sei stolz ;-))))) She is a Swiss lady . Tschau zäme

[@PereaPhotography]

Heinrich Kessler 😂 danke Heinrich! Tschau!

[@billmastorakis2137]

This used to be called HDR.

[@PereaPhotography]

Bill Mastorakis yes and Lightroom still refers to it as that. Thanks for watching!

[@billmastorakis2137]

Perea Photography Lightroom and everyone else.

[@PereaPhotography]

Bill Mastorakis is it not exposure blending? What does it matter what name you call it by? Not the point of the video...

[@PTPhotography]

Nice tutorial! Definitely a great option for beginners before getting involved with layer masks in photoshop. Is it just me or was learning that 3 clicks on your wheel a stop of light a serious game changer? lol

[@PereaPhotography]

Phillip Thomas Photography haha it’s a game changer for sure! Thanks buddy!
