Blend exposures

Use the Luminosity Range Mask to optimise both sky and foreground

Capturing the perfect image can be a daunting task, especially when trying to balance the exposure for both the foreground and background. However, when editing two versions of the RAW file, focusing first on the sky and then on the foreground, the Luminosity Range Mask is perfect for merging the two versions into one seamless image. This way, you won’t lose any detail in highlights or shadows and you gain depth.
