Hi guys,
I have been looking for a technique for landscape photography to blend multiple photo's with different exposures (at least 1 underexposed for the sky, 1 normal exposed and 1 overexposed for the foreground) into 1 photo, by using luminosity masks.
Until now, I have been doing this with 32bit HDR from lightroom to photoshop and back, to avoid the real HDR-look, that I don't like. But it gives me not enough contral to adjust the photos locally. So that's why I became enthousiastic about Luminosity masks, but I've havent started using them.
I want to try to achieve the best quality as possible and start learning on a specific panel or software. I found many types of software, like TK7, Raya Pro/Instamask, Lumi32, Lumenzia.
Without having tested those, I am leaning towards Lumenzia, which seems to be a favourite choice, or Lumi32, because it seems to offer the highest quality, with a special software and an algorithm designed to do just that: create the best luminosity masks.
What are your opinions about the best (in highest quality) luminosity masking software or panel, especially about Lumenzia and Lumi 32? A tool with good free tutorials would also be a pro.
(I also kinda wonder why Jimmy McIntyre now offers Raya Pro, Instamask and Lumi 32 which can all be used for luminosity masks in another way. I know Raya Pro offers other tools as well, but which one of those 3 is the best for luminosity masking and what is the difference?)
Thanks in advance!
