Thanks for posting that - I did not know how to automatically average layers in Photoshop so that will be very helpful! I've been doing it manually ala the technique they used with Gimp. On 10/16/2015 12:58 PM, Darren Addy wrote: Two things (hopefully provoking thought and/or discussion): #1

If I'm not mistaken, the same effect can be achieved in-camera using multiple exposure and chossing the appropriate blend mode. A very informative thread on this subject can be found (for those of you for whom it is not against your religion to visit pentaxforums) at:
