I was really impressed with this feature. However, Gimp has this Stack Mode feature and it’s free. Then, I will compare the manual method in Photoshop with Affinity Photo, using Live Stacks. If you have previous versions of Photoshop, the Stack Mode feature is only available in extended versions, not standard, unfortunately. There is an automated way to do this with the Stack Mode feature, which I believe is in Photoshop CC. Although, I would recommend you use a tripod.įirst, I’ll demonstrate this effect using a manual method in Photoshop CS6 (standard version). This article will demonstrate how you can achieve a similar result by taking a bunch of photos in continuous mode without using any filters or a tripod. To make your photos more immaculate, you can use the Clone Stamp Tool to enhance the lips. But, I hope this technique may serve as a stepping stone or inspiration to go out and capture silky waters, clouds etc., in-camera. While it’s important to give the skin a healthy look, remove stray hair, and make the eyes brighter, dry and wet lips might spoil the overall look of your portrait. I’m not advocating that this technique in post editing is a replacement to going out and achieving long exposures out in the field, far from it. But, is there a way to simulate this effect in Photoshop or other post-processing software? Yes there is! It does require that you take multiple shots. So taking long exposures during the day is an involved process, especially if you want to create that smooth, silky water effect in-camera. ND filters block out the light in terms of stops. On top of which, you have to get the exposure right, which requires a bit of math and experimentation. These type of filters are required for long exposures during the day, so that your shutter speeds are slow enough, possibly one minute or more to get that misty look. However, I personally don’t own ND or polarizer filters.
