In this High Pass Filter Photoshop tutorial I’m showing you how to sharpen your photos with the high pass filter, AND go the extra step (which you’ve probably not been shown before) to remove those horrible halos that this technique usually creates. Here’s a hint – it involves adding a luminosity mask!

The high pass filter photoshop technique for sharpening your images is a popular one for landscape photographers. However it does have the tendency to add some ugly halos to your images, often without you even noticing at the time!

In this photoshop tutorial I show you how to use a luminosity mask to completely eliminate these halos so they don’t crop up later and cause you problems when you come to print an enlargement or add your images to your portfolio online etc.

The running theme with these three photo editing mistakes is that they all relate to a destructive workflow. Whenever possible you want to be using nondestructive post processing techniques because this enables you to go back to previous points in your workflow to make changes, without having to re-do everything else you did after that point.

These rules apply for any and all Photoshop versions and features why you should be using adjustment layers and smart objects.

The third mistake I warn of in this video is my answer to the most common layers-related question I’ve ever received… The question itself tells me there are lots of people out there making the mistake, because my answer to the question “how do I ______ my photoshop layers ?” is this: “don’t!”

In this quick Photoshop tip, I’m going to share with you the secret of how to blend exposures in Photoshop naturally, by avoiding the #1 Mistake I see people make – including myself when I look back on some of my older photos!

Download the FREE GUIDE: https://postprocessingmastery.com/intro-to-lm

Also you can download my free guide on how to get started with luminosity masking on the link above.

This one tip I’m about to share with you will hopefully change the way you approach your exposure blending (or if you’re already doing this, then it’ll confirm you’re on the right track!)

This is especially important for landscape and seascape photographers who shoot a lot of multiple exposure photography at sunrise and sunset, and who are looking to retain and make the most of the beautiful colours in the sky.

Because there’s nothing worse than an over-processed photo, especially an exposure blend that just screams HDR!
