This is a super example and what made it possible was the 3-shot bracketing. That is a key for me to remember plus the luminosity and radial masks tips you included here. Thanks!

I have never used an image mask, but will try this technique on my next trip. Only problem is that I do not alway carry a tripod, although I do use a monopod walking stick. May need to change my habits as I can see this technique greatly improving my photos. Thank you for the great information.

Hello Jim,
Your tutorials are always eagerly awaited. They are, pedagogically, very clear and very well done. They demonstrate, if need be, the extraordinary power of this Luminar 4.
What progress made by listening to you. Thank you very much.

So happy that you guys were able to get that workshop in prior to all the craziness. I would have loved to participate in that and see the beauty of Iceland. We will have to get over there sometime and experience it. Your blended photo turned out really great.

Love this series of videos. Jim. They really highlight the versatility and ease of use of L4, especially with blending images. If gone more to this and less of HDR over the past year or so.

Jim, I have asked you about Luminar lockup or crashes a few times. They finally helped me fix the problem and then sent me this This crash issue will be fixed in the update 4.3.0 that is going to be released within 2 weeks. Stay tuned!

I need to practice this exposure blending skills according to your tutorial step by step, and your adjustment layer 2 with control area adjustment would be very helpful for lots of my previous problems and concerns, thank you very much.

Hi Jim, Thank you for one more inspirational and very helpful tutorial. One quick question: how many bracketed exposures would you recommend and at which Fstop value? (+-1/3 or +-1 Or any other value)? There are different opinions on the topic, and I would really appreciate your input, Thanks
