Secret Hand-blending HDR enhancement technique by Qblends
Capturing Multiple Exposures
First of all, HDR photography allows photographers to take several images of the same scene at different exposure levels. Usually, a standard exposure, an underexposed shot for highlights, and an overexposed shot for shadows. It means you can capture details in both bright and dark areas.
Aligning Images
Secondly, after getting multi exposures, editors have to spend time to blend them together using the professional software. Qblends use some expert one like Photoshop to layer and align the exposures. If you want to do it yourself, you should use the updated version. Then, you should invest time to understand its tools and how to use them efficiently.
Masking & Blending
Thirdly, Hand-blending technique means we manually blend the images using layer masks and brushes to selectively reveal the best parts of each exposure. We adjust the images one-by-one to get exactly colors and color consistency for each property.
Refining Details
Next, we have to do a skillful process from adjusting contrast, sharpness, and color balance to enhance the final image.
Final Touches
Last but not least, we spend much more time to ensure the image looks natural by fine-tuning highlights and shadows. Because each image has its own beauty for the house and we appreciate them. So work with us the improve the quality of the HDR images. Then you can make your house shine and standout from the crowd.
