"I’ve used Lumenzia for several years. This course brings it all together for me. The workflow provided is foolproof. I’d recommend the blending info and Lumenzia to anyone looking to improve their editing skills." - Joe L.

"I can't recommend this course enough to any photographer at any skill level. The course is so well laid out in a step by step process with videos and accompanied by written step by step content covered by the videos that the learning curve is made extremely easy." - Jim G.

"Extremely well thought out and well presented course of instruction on exposure blending using luminosity masks. Very highly recommended!" - Sam G.

"There is a wealth of information here, not just on how to blend multiple exposures, but also on how to use luminosity masks in general and how to think about blending when assessing the scene in the field. I highly recommend this course." - Matt C.

This course is designed for anyone who is looking to use luminosity masks to extract more color and detail from their photos and is comfortable with the basic concepts of layers and masks in Photoshop. No previous experience with luminosity masks is required, but is not meant for photographers who have never used Photoshop. The course starts at a very basic level and then proceeds to increasingly advanced blending concepts as you work through the course, so that you can start at the level most appropriate for you and work toward advanced blending techniques. The course is broken down into clearly labeled sections so that you can easily navigate to the content most relevant to your needs.

No, but the course is recorded using Lumenzia to create and use luminosity masks. You can buy Lumenzia at a significant discount when purchased with the course. The general concepts used should be applicable to other luminosity masking tools. I don’t want anyone to be left out, so the course also includes some basic information on how you can adapt the steps shown with Lumenzia to other approaches, such as with my free luminosity masking panel. The course is also recorded using Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) to process RAW files, but the general concepts would apply to whichever RAW processing software you may use.

The videos that come with Lumenzia are meant to help explain the way Lumenzia works in general, as well as details on several features which are not necessarily related to blending exposures. The included and free Lumenzia training includes some basic information on blending exposures, but it is only a tiny fraction of the material this course covers. By focusing on the topic, this course is able to go much deeper into the blending workflow, scene-specific challenges, how to extract maximum color from your images, and how to troubleshoot common issues. To avoid redundant content, the course references Lumenzia training material where basic knowledge of Lumenzia is assumed. Scroll down this page for more details.

You can use the iOS app to view the videos offline. You can also stream the content on any browser or device. This course is presented through a professional learning management system, which provides for an excellent experience by offering much more than just video files. You will have quizzes to help reinforce learning, written guides to accompany the videos with time codes to easily review each step of the tutorials, access to all the digital files edited in the course, comments to ask Greg questions or interact with other students in the course, and a well designed interface to help organize and navigate all the content. The nature of this platform also enables me to improve or add to the content over time.

The iOS app is subject to the requirements and availability of the Teachable iOS app. This requires iOS10 or later as of November, 2019.
