    focus stacking - panel closes after alignment done

    I do a fair amount of macro work and focus stacking has been a standard tool for some time now. It's a technique that takes a modest amount of preliminary work and the procedure is absolutely rote once the photos are loaded. No thought or additional manipulation required. But I've been having...

    halos around masks

    A continual problem has been blending the edges of scenes where I've adjusted exposure in a specific area - e.g. sky vs foreground. In my most recent attempt, I created a mask from the blue channel and used image->adjustments-.threshold to create a very nice mask of a scene that included trees...

    Install both PS4 and PS5

    I bought a copy of web premium cs4 at student prices, and upgraded later to cs5 basic. I may be lax with my nomenclature, but the cs4 version had dreamweaver as well as the photoshop tools. I bought cs5 and installed it on the same machine. Dreamweaver, PS / ACR, and Bridge are the tools I...

    too sharp??

    Am learning to work with my images in raw mode, and have tutorials which describe how to use the sharpening in acr. I understand the process. I've also been getting by using the unsharp filter. I like the acr tool; I don't know if that's just my naivete. But I don't have always have the...

    black and white, camera raw, and wide tone processing.

    I am interested in working in b&w using a dslr and CS5. I have been shooting with an output in both raw and jpg. Would like a road map to working in b&w in PS. My very imperfect understanding is that I can work on the files in ACR using 16 bit channels and that I can work in ps in a 16 bit mode...

    masking cloud edges

    One of the problems with taking photos in mountains is the contrast between a bright sky and a valley in the shadows. The linked photo was taken in the Everest region of Nepal and shows the problem. The photo was actually taken with a gradient ND filter, but the sky of the original needed...
