  2. <p>Thank you Edward, but I'm not trying to create HDR. I have photos of twelve different church windows in identical settings. Due to the physical condition of the site and my own less than stellar technique, the perspective of each photo is noticeably different from the others to the point that Auto-Align Layers in Photoshop is unable to adequately align the images.</p> <p>I choose one photo as a template and open each of the other photos in turn as a layer on top of it. first using Auto-Align to get me in the ballpark and then using Free Transform finesse the final result. At that point I would delete the bottom layer, save the corrected layer and move on to the next image. Rinse. Repeat. My problem is I am unable to see the bottom layer clearly enough to accomplish the task, or the top layer if I lower the opacity enough to see the bottom layer. Can someone suggest a particular blending mode or other technique that will help me attain my goal?</p> <p>Cropped to better illustrate the problem - window frames and bricks in the outer arch. Maybe I should just accept this as 'good enough.' On 2 greeting card or 8x10s side by side maybe it just won't be all that noticeable. Am I being anal?</p><div></div>
  3. I've shot a series of church windows and, while being as diligent as is possible for me, the perspective varies from shot to shot. Using PS CC 2014, I've tried opening two images as layers and, using the transform tool, match the perspective of one to the other while playing with layer transparency. I'm still having a difficult time seeing what I'm doing. Can you suggest a particular blend mode or other specific techniques that might help me accomplish my goal. Thanks in advance.<div></div>
  4. <p>I register my domains through GoDaddy and host my sites at stablehost.com. Both are reliable, accessible and reasonably priced. I considered purchasing a theme but eventually settled on the Suffusion theme from Aquoid: easy to modify, adequate support and the price is right. <a href="/website-creation-forum/I%20register%20my%20domains%20through%20GoDaddy%20and%20host%20my%20sites%20at%20stablehost.com.%20Both%20are%20reliable,%20accessible%20and%20reasonably%20priced.%20I%20considered%20purchasing%20a%20theme%20but%20eventually%20settled%20on%20the%20Suffusion%20theme%20from%20Aquoid:%20easy%20to%20modify,%20adequate%20support%20and%20the%20price%20is%20right.%20http:/aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/">http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/</a></p>
  5. Hi Paul. I carry a dual kit for event and performance shoots: 7D + 17-55 2.8 on the holster and 7D + 70-200 2.8 IS on the strap. (My aging hips protest the weight of the holstered 70-200.) I usually have the 17-55 combo in hand and find the holster to be a convenient and snug resting place when I want to use the 70-200 combo. I find that while the holster is more secure, the strap offers quicker camera access. While the strapped camera may swing a bit, it's easy enough to steady with one hand when necessary. For single body carry, the holster is great for schlepping over the hills and through the woods but I prefer the easier access of the strap when shooting street and other social environments. I do like the options available using two carry methods.
  6. <p>One camera on a Spider Holster and the other on a Black Rapid RS-4 strap.</p>
