Head swapping family photos is a similar technique. It's a common and incredibly useful PS procedure. And in reply to why not just erase, lasso, flatten, etc, from the same people who vaunt using RAW editing as non-destructive techniques, is that masks are completely editable at any time. Flatten a PSD? What?! Now, that said, it is time consuming, and only good for "money" images. And a few minutes in pre will save you an hour in post, so move stuff, light well, tripod multiple exposures, etc. Thanks for the tutorial as usual This is why I’m thrilled I am coming to this via graphic design: that not only made complete sense, but I do it every day for various reasons.

I think it's beneficial to learn all the different techniques, as there are pros and cons to each of them. But even using just the Magic Wand, I've done some pretty intricate selection around and between trees and leaves. Granted, you need to adjust the tolerance, contrast, and edge, but you can get some pretty good results. Hi Larry,

Great post.

I think it is great that you are sharing your techniques, but could you speak louder when recording. I had my computer sound volume all the way up, but could hardly hear you. Anyways, thanks !!

I can mask two photos together and get everything fixed up in about 2 minutes. Bang them out in Photoshop, and move on to the next one! Simple.

Personally, I like having more thatn one tool so this method is great. I know that some don't like the HDR look, but I haven't met a client who didn't.

I've had great luck using Photomatix to bring in all the outside details without any post Photoshop processing.

But I personally don't like a window view that is too perfect, so I will overexpose the view just a little. If you have the view on its own layer you can clip a curve layer to it and use that to fine tune the brightness of the view.
