A great way of extending dynamic range when you only have one raw file. Thanks for walking us through it.
You're welcome Bubba, and thanks for a great question.
George
Another excellent tutorial George, I have several photos that will benefit from this technique,so thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Pauline, this video is a great example of a question I was asked in one of the comments here on TH-cam. Just shows again how valuable these comments can be.
George
Thank you George for another excellent tutorial
You're welcome!
George
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Great tutorial with this Camera Raw and Triple Processing! This is good to know for different photos I have and the steps and tricks you are providing will work out really well. It's fascinating how the selections and inverting play a role in bringing it all together. Thanks for sharing your techniques in Photoshop, George. Really great stuff!
You're welcome John, that inverting trick with the selection is one of my standards.
George
Thanks. You cleared up some of the mystery of using the Raw Image function. There are several photos I will try this technique on.
You're welcome Rick, this trick is very useful with images having large areas with different tonal values.
George
Outstanding, I have a lot of files I can try this out on.... Thanks very much.
Have fun!
Excellent video - well-thought out and well-explained! Valuable lesson learned (I'll have good use for this technique on future projects). Thanks, George!
You're welcome!

Another great tutorial, I did the same thing by changing the settings in raw and saved the photos but, I did not think of using a mask to make it all come together. Thanks again for you great videos.
You're welcome Hugh. This is a useful technique when one setting is just not enough to solve the exposure problems.
George
George, pretty good idea!!!! Why did I not think of making copies!!?? I know the smart object has a benefit in that you can always go back and change it. This idea comes close enough for me in that you can always go back and change a PSD file, not the same but good enough for me. You can take this double processing in a lot of directions! Thanks for the great tip!

You're welcome Rich, sometimes you just need to do part of the work outside of Photoshop Elements to achieve the desired results.

Very interesting and informative video. I am wondering if, with some of my images, this would be a way to go rather than the usual layer adjustments. A lot of my photos have several different elements, each of which I find need adjusting separately. I found this to be the case when re-editing some old holiday photos. The drawback is really a huge lack of experience with RAW! Great stuff as ever, George. Many thanks.
Hi Peter, the benefit of working in the RAW format is that the images are uncompressed, so they have as much detail and information as possible. If you are using RAW images and you can do as much of the editing as possible in the RAW editor you will get the best results. If you are using JPG files then you don't get that benefit but the RAW editor is still nice and has all of the image controls all in one place which makes it preferable to using the Enhance tools in Photoshop Elements where you have to use one at a time.
George
Thank you for the tutorial on this very useful tool. Can you bring any picture / image into Elements by way of the "Open in Camera raw" option found under the heading File, and if so what are the limitations in comparison to a raw image?
Hi Brian. You can open most image formats in the Raw editor through Photoshop Elements and they will be handled the same. The main, and most important, difference is that the Raw format is uncompressed. It contains all of the original image content and quality which is why it is the format preferred by professionals to use when taking pictures. The Jpg format is compressed to save space and there is a loss of quality in the image format. Many less expensive cameras use the Jpg format to allow for more pictures to be stored in the camera. But realistically speaking it depends on your needs. Most of my work is on the internet or in videos so I usually use a smaller camera that uses the jpg format, perfect for my needs. But the Raw editor in Photoshop Elements works the same with either format and is an easy way to do basic image exposure adjustments on a photo, much easier than using the Enhance options since in the Raw editor everything is in one place instead of being spread between several tools.
George
Thank you for this video, George. I believe it's one of the most useful for me so far. I often have a picture that needs only exposure changes on part of the pic. I think this technique would also work on a .jpeg. You can open .jpegs in the camera raw editor. I am wondering why you did not change the exposure level on the first two pictures. Was that just an editing choice?
You're welcome Sandy, my only using a Shadow adjustment on the foreground and boat pictures was just a personal choice. That gave me the look I was trying for. I kept the whole picture on the dark side, just my preference. You could go a lot brighter but you would lose some of the mood of the image.
George
GENIUS!!!! like... total genius. fucking magician!!! subscribed because I NEED your immensely detailed and rather advanced tutorials. I've not seen anything quite so detailed. Total pro.
Thanks! Not so sure about Genius but I do try to break the process down into easy to understand steps.
George
Thank you for this tutorial, I learn every day!
You openend the raw picture 3 times; I wonder if you can have the same result by opening it once and than make 2 copies of the background layer, make masks and adjust the layers in different ways. Is that correct?
Hi Rob, unfortunately the Camera Raw editor doesn't work with layers. You can get a similar result if you don't use Camera Raw and instead do the editing in Photoshop Elements using layers and masks as you suggest but that loses the adjustment advantages of Camera Raw.
Very well done video...could this have been done "easier" with the Elements+ plug-in? Although I only have LR6, I'm debating to get Elements 2020 and also the Elements+2020 to do this kind of editing. Would that be a good move or am I wasting my $. Thanks in Advance.
Hi, If you are primarily doing processing work with photos I would recommend Affinity Photo instead of Photoshop Elements as it is much better with RAW photos and has more Lightroom like options compared to Photoshop Elements. Now if you want to be doing more creative stuff like merging several photos together, doing cards and graphics, or doing a lot of work with text then Photoshop Elements is the better option. But honestly speaking Photoshop Elements is primarily for the basic user and not for more advanced photography.
@@HTGGeorge Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I'll take a look at Affinity. No way can I justify paying usage fees for any of the Adobe CC products. I always seem to be needing ability to merge focus stacked and panorama pictures and removing unwanted objects - none of which are available in LR6. I have read somewhere that these 3 features would be available with Elements and Elements+ but I need to review these before I commit to the products. I may try my hand at creating posters down the road. Subscribing to your channel.
@@mohsinjessa8951 You're welcome, here is a review I did recently on Affinity Photo th-cam.com/video/ssSjYFEteZA/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, I am new to this - not at all familiar with working with RAW files, but one question - why could you not have done the same triple exposure modification using three copies of a jpg file, adjusting the color directly within PSE (I'm using PSE 2019) changing hue / saturation / shadow / highlight / contrast on each copy and then use the masking / layer functions to combine them. Why did you need to use the RAW files? Thanks for an excellent video.
Hi Robert, the main reason to do this in Camera RAW is that it has a much larger tonal range, higher resolution, and greater detail than a Photoshop Elements file. Once you move the image over into Photoshop Elements you will lose image quality, especially in the dark areas. Of course depending on your needs this may not matter or even be noticeable but this video was about the best way to do this, not the only way.
George
I realize I'm 2 years late lol. Just curious why you didn't take the 3 exposures and use photomerge - exposure? You can tweak its result as I'm sure you already know.
Wow, that's an easy one Doug. Because this is working with Camera Raw files and Photomerge Exposure will not work with Camera Raw files. The real reason behind this exercise is to show how things can be done with the Camera Raw editor. I could have done this much more quickly and easily over in Adobe Photoshop, but then this project isn't about Adobe Photoshop, it is about the Camera Raw editor that comes in Photoshop Elements. And to be completely honest I usually use Adobe Photoshop for all my own stuff.
Hi like the video of camera raw but cannot down load the DNG file.!
Looks like the free image site where I found that image has gone out of business. Download the psd file, the image is in that as well.
HI George - Very nice tutorial. Please warn users not to do what I did and click the "Done" button which, without warning, overwrites your original file. Losing the original, with no apparent way to get it back may not be your intention, especially if you have not made the extra copies like you did on the video.
Hi Robert, I will put a Heart and a Thumbs Up on your comment so it should show up at the top of the comments on this video.
