G’day Anthony. This is all new to me so I’ll be following very closely. I’m going through your Photoshop videos. I have to start learning & using P/S. thanks to you my Lightroom knowledge is at a stage where I’m going onto Photoshop. Thank you. Stay safe. Neville J.
Good question! Either would work but in this case, I didn't need to go back and redo anything with the original layers so I chose to merge them. A merged layer is a bit smaller than a stamped layer and will load and render a bit faster but, because it's merged, if I needed to go back and do any adjusting to one of the two original layers, I wouldn't be able to.
I’ve been successful in masking similar images with a luminosity mask by changing the density. Not perfect but very easy to clean up with a brush. Not sure why you didn’t explore this more thoroughly.
I know this is an On1 tutorial but wouldn't it have been easier with PhotoShop where layers rule? Also, why not enlarge the image to get a detailed view of the windows when erasing the top layer thus avoiding minute errors? I also found it hard to assume the two layers are aligned without seeing both on a half dissolve at the same time. As always, thank you for your tutorials, Anthony.
That's a good point about zooming in. In the video it probably wasn't clear but on my 27" monitor, I could see that it was aligned and I tested everything before I did the video so I knew it was lining up. But, what you said, is sound practice to verify that things are squared up. As for Photoshop being easier -- it is if you're a photoshop user. If not, you're probably more likely to do something like this in On1.
Hard to believe for some but not all photographers use photoshop, or want to. Enough use other programs, like ON1/Affinity/etc to make it worthwhile for youtuberssome like Anthony to do vids for them too.
I can't say from first hand experience because I don't often do this but I can say that I know that real estate photographers, who do this all the time, prefer exposure blending like this over HDR. The results from HDR can be unpredictable and they have more control when doing blending. It would be Interesting to experiment with both ways to see which way you prefer.

Thank you!!
Happy birthday, Anthony! Wishing you all the best!
Another easy to understand tutorial - many thanks Anthony, for not just focusing on LR/PS. I find your ON1 and Luminar stuff very useful.
Thank you for watching!
That's a very useful video Anthony, especially the align feature... Thank you
I am just curious why you did not use merge to HDR function. I think it is designed for exposure blending.
Great video Anthony. Thank you. Opens all kinds of possibilities. Really need to think on this great tool.
Thank you for watching!
Great video Anthony. Is this kind of technique similar to bracketing?

Would like to see you do the same thing with Capture One 20.
What is the difference between the paint out brush and lumen? I can get the same effect when I go to the masking brush and chose paint out.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I just want to ask one thing, can we do the same thing in Lightroom or photoshop
Of course, but why? ON1 is very "lightweight" application, comparing to LR and PS.
Yeah you'll probably need to move the images into PS, not sure LR alone would do it.
What about doing an HDR in photoshop or Lightroom?
Thanks for the video, I didn't realize that there was a realine tool in ON1. Question, why didn't you use Stamped Layer instead of Merged Layer.
Good question! Either would work but in this case, I didn't need to go back and redo anything with the original layers so I chose to merge them.

Would't an HDR process be easier?
exactly what I thought
