There have been a few times that I tried to layer basically, the same shot with different exposure settings (one for shadows, and one for hilights) and have been having a heck of a time.
The shots were done hand-held, and not exactly lined up. So, when I try to layer them, there is a bit of a perspective issue I believe. It's more than just sliding the frame to the right position, or a slight rotation. If I get one part of the shot to be aligned, other parts are not.
Using PSP, anyone have any tips on how to accomplish clean alignment throughout the two layers?
Thanks!! |

PSP - Paint Shop Pro? I use PI and it has a function for that called HDR - High Dynamic Range. I would recommend using a tripod if at all possible. Is there a 'registration' function/option when you have multiple images open? (this would align the images and you crop off the uneven edges)

I used the tecnique described on Luminous Landscape, but I shot mine using a tripod. Here is the result:
It's a combination of a dark image (highlighting the sky):
and of a lighter image highlighting the foreground:
Like I said, I used a tripod, so everything lined up quite well.
I think you will have a hell of a time trying to get things to line up. I am in no way a Photoshop pro, but maybe this can help.

Alienyst: Yes, Paint Shop Pro (Version 8).
I don't recall a HDR or registration function (not automatic, anyway). But, I guess I'll have to poke around a bit more.
Beagleboy: That's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish (haven't yet checked the luminois landscape link).
A tripod would help immensly, but I didn't bother to carry it with..my bad.
About the only thing I can think of (saw reference to it in a different context) is to mark some manual registration points and use the deform or perspective correction tool. But, I haven't had a lot of luck mastering them.
Thanks for the tips.
edit: BTW, nice work Beagleboy.
