One of the new features of CS4 is "auto blend", which Adobe explains like this: "Among the many uses of the Auto-Blend Layers command, you can blend multiple images of a scene with different areas in focus to achieve a composite image with an extended depth of field. Similarly, you can create a composite by blending multiple images of a scene with different illuminations."
Is that legal in advanced editing? I do believe it is the same as combining images for HDR purposes (i.e. no change in the scene) so it should be, but I would like a second (3rd, 4th.....) opinion. |

The answer is "it depends." Because Advanced is results-based, a specific technique may be either legal or not, depending on how it is used.
It is legal to combine multiple exposures in Advanced for increased DoF, increased dynamic range (HDR), noise reduction, or any combination of the above, as long as:
- The images are all of the same scene
- No objects of significance change from shot to shot
- All the shots are framed the same, within reason (no pano stitching in Advanced) |

| Sounds like it would be as long as the composition is exactly the same for all frames with only slight variances due to wind. |

Yup, that sounds pretty much exactly the way I am seeing it.
Thank you. |
