What is Digital Blending?
Digital Blending is where we use Photoshop to take our images to the next level by harnessing the power of ‘Layers’. Lightroom is great but it doesn’t offer the same level of control as Photoshop. By using ‘Layers’ we can blend multiple exposures to fix things like dynamic range and then work on our colour correction and enhancements in a way that Lightroom can’t.
Once you’ve become familiar with digital blending and how it can improve your image post-processing, you’ll probably start to shoot differently too. By getting to grips with Photoshop and the basic steps of digital blending, you’ll take your image post-processing to the next level and get the most out of your photography.
Don’t Be Intimidated by Photoshop
I often hear the same complaint from Lightroom users, that Photoshop isn’t user-friendly and they just don’t know where to start. Having used Photoshop for over 20 years I’ve seen it evolve and become much more user-friendly with many powerful tools for image correction and enhancement.
Allow me to introduce you to this powerful tool in a way that won’t intimidate you and might just inspire you to love Photoshop.
