those pre-made boxes are nice, but nothing shows off your craftsmanship like making your own boxes.

It varies depending on the subject and the conditions (how close the foreground plane may be, is it --or whatever is beyond it-- something that will be affected by a breeze/wind, am I shooting hand-held or off a tripod, or any number of other similar considerations). Most commonly, my 'norm' is three shots, but other times it may be as few as two or as many as five or six. Focus stacking landscape stuff is very different than stacking close-up or macro stuff.
Thanks for the quick response. I've done some experimenting with Landscape Stacking in the past, but the subject matter available to me is not near as interesting as what you show.
I'm going to have to get out and try harder.

These are really great captures. Just out of curiosity, how many images do you typically stack for pictures loike you have posted?

You're absolutely right. I got dropped once after having to replace a roof then 2 i-phones for my sons in a 5-year period. And word gets out. Was hard finding an insurance company to pick me back up. Don't risk it.

Awesome image!! I like both the subtlety and imagination.

I am trying to use the touchscreen with Lightroom Classic on my Lenovo laptop. It does some things by touch but when I try to use brushes and move my finger or stylus over photo I get a list of things vs. the brush.
Yesterday I learned about "tablet mode" and have tried that. Same result.
Looked online to no avail, including the Lightroom Queen.
Suggestions?

Lenovo makes an active pen for their touch screen laptops and devices. The pens run about $30.00 - $35.00 average on Amazon. They appear to only work on certain models of laptop so I would suggest verifying your laptop model and checking the pens' compatibility list before ordering. It appears to do what you're wanting to do. I'm looking into ordering a pen for my HP Envy X360 for the same reasons you're describing.

The short answer to your question is that by using layers, blend modes, masking, a liberal amount of exposure, color, contrast and brightness controls, some filtering and, finally, a good bit of time, then yes, you can achieve a reasonably good HDR image with Photoshop, even with software as old as CS3 (hows that for a run-on sentence?).
But if you really want to get in and explore what HDR imagery can do for you? Bite the bullet, get some software and spend more time behind the camera and less time in front of a monitor.

Nice capture, thank you for sharing. And thanks for the lighting explanation. I've been reading up on studio lighting recently. All examples appreciated and helpful.

That top image is a money shot. The light coming in from the right of the pier adds excellent depth. You're timing on the capture was perfect.

CS6 is just an earlier version of Lightroom. It is the catalog program.
I held out on the subscription for a long time. Caved about a year ago. Very impressed by the many benefits it offers. Well worth the price.

This is completely untrue. Photoshop CS6 is NOT a catalog program, nor is it an earlier version of Lightroom. It is the last Photoshop Extended software to come out on disk before the Creative Cloud advent. It has Bridge with it, which will catalog photos, but no-where near as well as Lightroom.
Lightroom is a standalone package with Adobe ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) as its main work engine. ACR is also a component of Photoshop CS6.

The new iPad's have a stylus but I don't think you can get the control needed using just your fingers. This is why I use a Wacom Tablet.
Yeah, using fingers was more of an example than an actual consideration
. I have a Wacom tablet myself, but I also just got a touch screen laptop that a stylus works very well on. It would be awesome if I could use either the Wacom or touch screen to edit.Jan 22, 2021 23:10:49 #
Is the latest photoshop CC or Lightroom software compatible with touch screen computers (i.e.: can the software be manipulated via a scribe or finger on the screen instead of a mouse)? Can any other photo editing software be manipulated that way?
