Photo Composite for Contrast Control

Situation: You are making an interior photograph where there are a lot of windows. Maintaining the same f-stop, you have the equivelent of an 8 stop difference between the interior and exterior.

I have heard that there is a technique where you make one exposure for the outside in RAW and then another exposure for the indoors. You then bring both photos into Photoshop and make appropirate adjustments for each. Next step is to copy one of the photos into the other as a layer. From this point I don't know what to do.

Can anyone email me the instructions so that I can have a good photo where the interior is properly exposed and the exteriior is not blown away. My email address is: [email]pmrii@aol.com[/email]

This would also make a great tutorial as I think there are a lot of photographers out there who face this type of problem.

Thanks,

I think I read a tutorial about this a while back, I'll try to find it and get back to you on it.
I'll post in this thread.

I think this is it... Found it pretty fast.
