Tutorials | Painting With Light - Manual DRI Blending in Photoshop
advertisement
This is a short video tutorial showing how I like to make my DRI images.
Prerequisites:-
- Preferably seperate exposures
- A tripod (non-negotiable!) :)
- Ability to bracket your shots - or to do the math to calculate your shutter speeds.
- Photoshop - I'm using CS4 but this applies to all versions. I'm sure it'd also work in any other application capable of working with alpha layers.

Sorry about being so keyboard heavy. I find it much quicker, but in case you can't keep up, here's a list of the keys I commonly use: -
| Key | Action | |
|---|---|---|
| Select handtool (while spacebar is pressed) | ||
| B | Brush | |
| [ | Smaller Brush | |
| ] | Larger Brush | |
| CTRL+Z | Undo Last Action | |
| X | Swap foreground and Background colours | |
| D | Select Default Colours (Black & White) | |
| Mousewheel | Zoom (Needs enabled in the settings) | |
| C | Crop | |
| G | Fill (Paintbucket or Gradient) | |
| CTRL+I | Invert (Will invert the mask if selected) | |
| CTRL+NUM0 | Zoom to Fit Screen | |
| CTRL+NUM1 | Zoom to 100% |
Good luck, have fun.
Neil.
