SUMMARY

Achieve balanced exposures in landscape photography, especially during sunset, by using bracketed images and Affinity Photo's Live Masks. The tutorial details how to align images, add a Luminosity Range Mask to blend based on pixel lightness, and fine-tune the blend with blur radius. It also covers using Hue Range Masks to adjust specific colors, like boosting flowers, and the Clone Stamp tool for final touch-ups to remove any haloes.
