By popular demand, I finally made a video showcasing my starting approach to processing. I give thorough and detailed information on how I process my RAW files (including exposure work, color work, detail adjustments, etc) in preparation for Photoshop, my simple and easy-to-use technique for focus blending, my straight forward approach to easily blending exposures for dynamic range, and a few other little things I threw in just for fun!
These things are what I call "putting together the puzzle pieces." Prepping and putting together all the image-files in order to have a great base-image to start more of the artistic processing techniques shown in my other videos. It's over an hour and a half long and packed full of great information! Home Page - http://www.ryandyar.com/putting-together-the-pieces
