Learn the art of exposure blending and luminosity masks with Dylan

About the event

Join me, Dylan Giannakopoulos for my first online post-processing series, Breakdown This Edit! In these workshops, I'll take you through the step-by-step process of how I edit my RAW files into the final product. Each session is tailored to a specific genre of photography, focusing on different techniques to help you unlock the full potential of your RAW files.

In this session, I will be breaking down an image I captured in Positano, Italy. Working in both Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, I will be demonstrating:

  • My image workflow; starting from importing and cataloguing my images to the final stages of post-processing.
  • The use of luminosity masks to seamlessly combine five exposures captured during a fiery Positano sunset.
  • Processing RAW files in Lightroom to prepare them for blending in Photoshop.
  • Creating midtone luminosity masks to add contrast to your images.
  • Masking techniques to make precise and localised adjustments.

After the workshop, attendees will receive a recording of the session, allowing you to revisit and reference the step-by-step processes I used. This will enable you to integrate these techniques into your own post-processing workflow. You will also receive a copy of my Photoshop Actions that I will be using in the demonstration.

If you’re looking for feedback on your edits or photography as a whole, why not join me for a Wine, Cheese and Photography session?

Event FAQs (For general FAQs, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page)

Whilst I will be explaining each step of my post-processing workflow, for you to get the most out of this session, it’s important that you have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Lightroom and Photoshop. In particular, you need to know the functions of the Basic module in Lightroom and in Photoshop how layers and other tools such as Brush and Clone Stamp work.
