Is there a way i can meld two pictures?

[hamlet]

I want to know if there is a way i can combine two pictures that are shot at different exposures? Here is a example of one of the first pictures i took of where the sky looks boring.





If i could expose for the sky and combine it with this picture it would have looked much better.

You can mask the sky in with Ps. Fairly straightforward actually.

Is there another program maybe?

GIMP.org.

Photoscape.org

Photoshop has better tools/features/capabilities for making the selections and doing the masking.
Like Refine Edge and the Color Range function.

You could try other editing apps that support layers. The problem you will run I to is your going to having a hard time finding someone to explain to you how to do it in those other programs. All the tutorials out there are going to be for photoshop.

It definitely has, i just cant justify purchasing it for that one feature. I will try the other two you suggested.

It's called High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography.

I'm referring to several features that can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the one task you want to accomplish immediately.

At some point in the not to distant feature, you will need another feature that Photoshop has, and then another, and then 3 more, and then 6 more...........

Gimp is crashing every wich way. I'll just cover the bottom half of my lens with one of those square nd filters so the upper part just gets more light and see how that works.

Do you have more than one exposure taken? Or are you trying to work with just one image?

Two images of course. One exposed for the scene and one exposed for the sky.

It may not be in Begium. Considering Adobes record of fleecing those people outside North America.
