The workflow goes like this:<br /><br />1. Bracket the entire scene by 2 f-stops. Make sure your basic exposure is on the sun, so the sun is not burnt. The best is to put your camera on self timer and it should take the 3 shots and shoot the entire scene. <br /><br />2. In Lightroom, retouch the overexposed photo for the dark areas, and use the normal exposure for the highlights, and fully retouch each photo including white balance.<br /><br />3. Merge the photo using Photomerge in Photoshop.<br /><br />4. Correct any horizon alignment problems using the warp tool with Command (Ctrl) T.<br /><br />5. Use the pen and stamp tool to correct any issues created from merging. <br /><br />6. Use the patch tool to clean up any inconsistencies from the merging.<br /><br />It is a more complex workflow but with a bit of training you should get some spectacular golden hour panoramas!<br /><br />Get my entire training at : http://photoserge.com/tutorials/<br /><br />TUTORIELS FRANÇAIS :<br />===================<br />http://photoserge.com/tutorials/tutoriels-francais/<br /><br />SUBSCRIBE FOR OTHER VIDEO TIPS AND TUTORIALS :<br />============================================<br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=cmoeu<br /><br />LAST EPISODE :<br />=============<br /><br />SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST ON ITUNES:<br />==================================<br />https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/photography-lightroom-photoshop/id543368680<br /><br /><br />Follow me ! :<br />==========<br />GOOGLE + ► https://plus.google.com/+SergeRamelliPhotos<br />FACEBOOK ► http://www.facebook.com/photoserge <br />TWITTER ► https://twitter.com/photoserge
