Lab Luminosity Masks - www.varis.com

Lee Varis builds a landscape image from two exposures, blended together using a mask from the "b" channel of a Lab version of the image. The step-by-step tutorial covers luminosity masks, layer blend modes, Burn Tool mask editing, Lab color editing, and a sophisticated selective sharpening technique, in a 10-Channel Workflow approach to image editing. I provide some more detailed insights into my decision making process for this image in my blog post here: http://varis.com/2015/01/06/lab-lumin...
