Default Re: GIMP?

Try this.....should work in GIMP, PS, etc...

- Take photos- one exposed normally, one 1 stop underexposed, one 1 stop overexposed, from a tripod (or use a RAW file saved with these adjustments)

- Open middle image as background

- Open dark (underexposed) image, copy, paste into new layer in composite image, rename layer "Dark"

- Desaturate dark image

- Adjust curves on dark image to set levels

- Create a layer mask on Dark layer, copy monochrome dark stock image, paste in to layer mask and anchor

- Do the same for the light (overexposed) image- open, copy, paste into new layer, rename layer "Light", desaturate original stock image

- Invert colors in stock image, adjust curves if necessary

- Create layer mask on Light layer, paste inverted gray scale light image into it, anchor

- Save image
