Exposure Blending Tutorial In Photoshop
Welcome to the first episode of Challenge Jimmy, where you, the subscriber, can send me your RAW files which you found difficult to process. I take up the challenge and try to offer you advice which may help you with future images. To take part, please email me at challengejimmymc (at) gmail (dot) com. Include a paragraph detailing what you found difficult, and attach a full sized JPEG of your final version.
Thank you to Tommy Botello for sending me his images for this video. He created a beautiful composition, but had difficulty blending his exposures. In this video I talk about why these exposures were difficult to blend and how to get over this challenge in Photoshop. I also add some ideas for colouring, and making the image more impacting, while remaining natural. I hope you find it useful.

Nicely done, Jimmy. The video was awesome and shows a lot of good techniques. And the finished image was great!
Thanks Jimmy! I really like your technique and willingness to share your photoshop knowledge!
Jimmy, this was fantastic! These sort of things are what I save to watch for that little bit of “splurge time” when I can do enjoy a short recess from life to do something that is pure enjoyment! Thanks so much! There is so much to learn from things like this, –both in seeing another person’s view, processing techniques, and another workflow! Thanks very much!
Nice one, never thought to bring the exposures closer together to solve this kinda problem 🙂 So in the field i should take more exposures closer together then blend the closer exposures 🙂
