Thanks, Shel
Yes, I'm familiar with the Multiply trick. :-)
The suggestion you sent me looked very reasonable.
However, I suspect that the hot petal in this case is mostly caused by
the way the multi-exposure is carried out. I'm in the process of doing
some further experiments under more controlled conditions now. From
the camera preview it seems to confirm my suspicion. I will carry on
my investigations tomorrow. Some guests just tumbled in...:-)
Cheers,
Jostein

Jostein,
Duplicate the image - make a background copy in the layers palette.
Change
the blending mode to Multiply. The image will get perceptibly
darker. Then
use the opacity slider to adjust how dark you'd like the image - try
around
50% for starter and move up/down from there. You may be pleased with
the
result ...

I think you're right that the over-exposure did something to the
rendering of colours. I looked into increasing the saturation, but
the
red channel is close to saturated to begin with, even with the
washed-out look.
I'm not sure if DOF control is very easy with the *istD variant of
MultiExposure, but I may give it a shot. Or in this case at least
two... Thanks for the tip. :-) In the poppy-shot, the focal plane
of
the OOF shot is closer to the camera, and thus did nothing to the
background.
