    Stumped on Merging Images

    Gaussian, Thanks for the suggestion to use HDRI as a technique for merging two images. I must admit I had never heard of "HDRI" so I consulted my guide books on Photoshop.

    Stumped on Merging Images

    If I try to merge the two images (a properly exposed image of the highlights and midtines, and one of the shadow areas) I am expecting each image to be a layer in the layer palette. Here is my original question: The first image I open in PS creates a Background layer. How do I get the second...

    New to Photoshop; help sharpening

    Mindbender, Thanks for the help. Since the copy of the Background is highlighted, after clicking on it, how can I tell if another selection is active? The way I got around this problem was to create a new layer, and then Layer>visible. All of the layers merged into one, and the sharpen tool...

    New to Photoshop; help sharpening

    I am having a problem in applying a sharpen layer. I am using CS2 and Windows XP. Here is what I have done: I created a duplicate layer of the Background layer. It is located just above the Background layer. (there are several other layers above the Background and duplicate Background layer)...
