I have a pressed collection of about 100 plants, but taking pictures of plants in their natural habitat is so much more enjoyable. |

Thank you :)
I've been planning for years to make a collection of pressed wildflowers, and then a picture of each, and mount them both next to each other in my house. We've moved around a lot, but I'm hoping we'll stay in the Kootenays long enough for me to get a go at it :) |

I notice that the pinkish flower on the very right seems to have an odd look to me. I have been having this same problem when trying to get a good shot of my neighbours petunias that are around this same colour. Can anyone tell me why that is, and how you can correct for it?
Thanks,

Day 18:
Not sure but I think last year's was better. Different position, as I recall, but in the same garden. I think this was closer to the street and got the late day sun better:

Day 18
houseguests invaded today, hence I am doing this at 1am, while all are asleep.. I predict I will fall behind in commenting over the next few days.
I promise, I will catch up!
Have a good day all...I started thinking this morning, I will miss playing w/you all when this month is over..

Any suggestions?
Thanks :) |
Process your 3 images separately. Flatten images. Create a new document with BG color of your choice and MUCH larger than it needs to be, but at the same DPI resolution as your images. Get image 1 on top in the window, grab the BG layer and drag it to the blank canvas. Do this for each image in turn. Close the original images. Make each image layer in the new composite active in turn and use the arrow tool to move the respective images into alignment. A guide helps here.
You can use layers styles in the palette to stroke each image and/or put a drop-shadow on it.
Finally, use the crop tool to crop the excess off your canvas.

Thank you Bear...
