<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>

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>

<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>

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.

<p>One camera on a Spider Holster and the other on a Black Rapid RS-4 strap.</p>

<p>Gavin Hoey explains one process here: <a href=" I've seen others, but can't remember where.</p>

<p>I empathize Dave. I found Framefit about a year and a half ago and loved them for all the reasons you cite and then, bang, they were gone. Broke my heart. Take a look at <a href="http://buz-line.com">buz-line.com</a>. They've got a Neilsen black aluminum option at very reasonable prices. I've only used them a couple of times but have no complaints with product, service or delivery.</p>

<p>Also, take a look at danielsmith.com in Seattle. I've bookmarked, but have never used them. They've got Nielsen frames of various finishes they sell by the inch at about .20-.30 per.</p>

<p>Scroll toward the bottom of this page and find David Hickey's "Gallery Wraps" action which will add a 1.5 or 2 inch mirrored edge as Tom describes in his first paragraph:<br /><br /><br>

<p>I'm finding an increasing number of photographers who are ditching the physical media and moving to digital downloads, either from their own sites or through file sharing services like Dropbox.</p>

<p>Funny, I just cancelled KT last month and was going to cancel NAPP in April, but I'm thinking the combined sites will be worth the price of the single membership.</p>

<p>Why can't I think of things like this?<br /><a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/chino-otsuka-imagine-finding-me">http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/chino-otsuka-imagine-finding-me</a></p>

<p>Orwell was an optimist.</p>

<p>My "new" Elan 7N just showed up at the door, but Stupid forgot that these old time cameras included "Batteries Not Included." Plus, I have no fixer. I had forgotten that photography costs money.</p>

<p>Sorry. Was just trying to help. I have no need for this option. I'll just let the guys who know a whole lot more than I do wrestle with it.</p>

<p>Y'know, when I edit in CC the file goes right to CC. When I edit in CS5 I get the dialogue box with the edit options and the only active option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments," and the TIFF file is generated in my library while I'm waiting for PS to open.</p>

<p>"Edit in" as a TIFF from LR5 to CC and CS5, then save as PSD, the PSDs did not appear in my library, although the TIFF files did, with and without "Stack with original" checked in preferences.</p>

<p>Might should mention, the subsequent TIFF files created upon transfer did not show my PS edits as I only saved the edits as PSD.</p>

<p><strong>EDIT: </strong>Now it just worked in CC. Edit as TIFF, save as PSD, PSD appears in library. Let me try CS5 again.</p>

<p>I'm hoping it's the Elan 7N because, egged on by this thread, I just ordered one from KEH. </p>

<p>Not definitive but it *<em>appears</em>* that Adobe does NOT accept Debit Cards:</p>

<p>They've been happy with mine.</p>

<p>Yeah Lex, from the FAQ: "This offer is available to anyone until December 31, 2013. There are no previous product ownership requirements."</p>

<p>Of course, that means I'm no longer special even though Adobe insisted I was last spring. Now I'm just an old prom dress. Ah, well. I'm not bitter.</p>

<p>I'd have guessed it was the work of an enthusiastic intermediate photographer...</p>

<p>Exactly. It looks like something I'd have shot. And I'd be unhappy with it because</p>

<p>I'm unable to determine the actual subject of the photo.</p>

 

<p>Canon seem to scatter their SNs all over their lenses and often they can be difficult to find. Some reference in this thread:<br>

I don't have the 100/2, but perhaps someone will be along with specific assistance.</p>

<p>Now there's a concept.</p>
