Maybe not that big a deal with a sequence of 3-5 exposure-bracketed shots. But if I were doing a stack of 20-30 shots with slightly different focus, the software expects the images to be in a consistent order from near to far or far to near and improper sequencing could screw things up. So, yes, being able to do proper sorts can be an issue. And no, for most scenes, I would not be able to eyeball-sort 20-30 images near-to-far. The changes from one image to the next are too subtle. And Larry - no I have not seen this issue. Suggest you turn off one-push bracketing and see if that helps. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
