APPLY A SPLIT-NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER using smart objects
APPLY A SPLIT-NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER using smart objects using smart objects You may have photographed a scene with a dynamic sky, but the resulting photo did not reflect the drama that you saw. The light in the sky or a reflection of water may have created a dynamic range larger than what the camera can capture. Photographers sometimes use a split-neutral density filter on the lens to capture such a large dynamic range. Using a tripod, you can also take multiple exposures of the same scene and combine the images using Photoshop s Merge to HDR command. However, you can effectively simulate a neutral density filter or a multiexposure photograph using a combination of Camera Raw and smart object layers. Using two copies of a smart object layer, you can use Camera Raw 4 to edit a photograph first to emphasize the foreground and then edit a copy to emphasize the background or sky. Then use a layer mask to combine the best exposures of both images. You can also edit each layer again before flattening and saving the final image file with a new name. 11 22 44 77 33 55 66 126 1 Click File. 2 Click Open As Smart Object.
