koka Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hello everyone, I am a new to AP and this is first post here, please excuse me if this has been discussed before. Actually I am not sure that what I am looking for is called blending (maybe composite?), but I tried to find in AP video tutorials and was unable to find it. I want to learn how to mix 2 images similar images into one, so when I have two different exposures, for example the bright sky and dark foreground I can mix them together to get a correctly exposed image, such as cutting the bright sky and pasting it into another image image with correctly exposed foreground. Is that called blending in AP? I know brush tools can help with that but it is very time consuming, but I have seen somewhere in photoshop tutorials, it can done very easily. Is there smoothing similar in AP? many thanks George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmac Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Koka, I am hardly an expert on this but it seems to me that you are describing two different things. One you want to combine 2 images of different exposures to get one correctly exposed image. In my understanding this is blending. The other situation you describe, cutting the sky from one image and "pasting" it into another foreground I believe is called compositing. I think these are accomplished by two different techniques. Hopefully others here who know how this is done can offer a better or more accurate description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
