#1 joesaade
Hello There,
So i'm trying to make a holy grail timelapse with the sun inside my frame. mut im having trouble matching the 2 stars with the 3 stars photos. Is there any specific workflow for that ? its always the three stars getting a flatter look than the second no matter what i adjust its still not getting there... Any suggestions please
Thanks

If you have blown highlights, like with the sun in the frame you will never get a 100% matching - in those cases I recommend to underexpose to keep the blown highlights as low as possible, and use smaller adjustments like 1/3rd or 1/2 stops.

One more question please
After doing the holy grail matching on Lrtimelapse the 2 stars and 3 stars arent really matching - Am i only suppose to use the exposure to match it manually or can i use contrast highlights etc.
Thanks

If you use "Match total Exposures" (Basic workflow) in Lightroom you can use the other slider as well as long as you are not using the "Holy Grail Tab" - for doing the adjustments automatically (and separating from the non-exposure adjustments). So if you change other settings then exposure between 2 and 3 stars, use the auto transition from the "Basic Workflow", not the "Auto transition Special" from the holy grail tab.
