2 exposures photoshop

[ABfilms]

I took a photo with 2 exposures, but i don't know how to mix those 2 with each other, so i copy pasted the light photo over the dark photo and then i erased some parts of it. But if you look at the building you can see that i erased some parts there.

How can i mix 2 exposures without noticable marks?


here is the photo

You will get more help if you post this in a photoshop division. This is for film users.

You use one of the selection tools to select the part of the photo you want to work on.
Anything that is outside of the selection will not be affected by the Erase tool.

You don't say which version of Photoshop you have.
The pro grade version of Photoshop (CS, and CC) has more selection tool(s) options than the consumer grade version of Photoshop (Elements).
There is a 3rd version of Photoshop commonly known as Lightroom.

ah oke so i just need to select the part that i don't want and erase it?

i was in a hurry when editing this photo haha, next time i will take my time and make it erase the parts more carefully.
Thanks for the replys!

No, don't erase.

search on 'layer masks'

thank you! much easier to work with masks

but how must i do this with trees or fences? it takes a lot of time to 'erase' them, or is this the only solution?
