![]() 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. But, I hope this technique may serve as a stepping stone or inspiration to go out and capture silky waters, clouds etc., in-camera. 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. Of course the scene and by all accounts patience too. ![]() Neutral Density and/or polarizer filters, as you’ll be shooting long exposures during the day.Wide angle lens and the camera settings using a small aperture of f/22, ISO 100.A remote shutter release or your camera’s timer.Slow shutter speeds – the need for a tripod.The gist to achieving this, and I do stand corrected if I have this wrong, is as follows: Smooth water effect edited in Affinity Photo using the Live Stacks feature.Įven if you don’t shoot landscape photography, photos of waterfalls with the smooth water and glassy appearance are awesome.
