I am working on combining some pictures using photomerge. The exposure is different so I end up with sky that’s different in one shot versus the other.
I searched the archive and found a post from Susan S. that had this advice:
This one had extreme colour match problems betweeen the shots. I hadn’t any luck matching between them before blending so I panorama-ed them, and then removed the colour differences in the final adjustment. I duplicated the origianl layer, and then did an ad hoc lightening of it using levels. I then grouped it with a blank layer to create a layer mask, and then using a soft brush at about 75 percent opacity on the mask layer painted over the underexposed sections to lighten them up a bit. I also ended up guassian blurring the mask to smooth it over a bit too. Worked OK I thought and *much* quicker than trying to exposure match the shots before hand.
Unfortunately, I don’t know enough to put this advice to work for me.
Can somebody help by explaining the steps in greater detail?
I’ve played around with this and every once and a while think I’ve figured it out, but then when I try to do it again I can’t reproduce the effect.
What should I see in the Layers pallete when I’m doing this kind of thing?
Thanks.
