My name is matt wilson. I am a photographer and artist. I have been working with Photoshop since 1992. I was a finalist in the first PIX Annual(The Photo Disrtict News) in 1994 and in the NYC Digital Salon in 1994. I teach Digital Photogaphy at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. I have been trying to develop an assignment for my students using the Canon D-30. Shoot for the highlights, the mids and the shadows and then mix freely in Photoshop. Anyone kmowing anything about layer masking should be able to handle this. I have tried this both with Canon's JPEG formatting and with Canon's RAW format which is then coverted using Graphic Converter to PSD format. I guess I assumed that when I got all three exposures aligned in one document and the layer masks done that it should look pretty good. But for both the JPEG and the RAW there was a pretty sizable gap between the top layer and the next one down. With the JPEG it was with the verticals on the bldgs. that there was a gap. With the RAW the ARea around the subjects face. It was like one exposure was distorted three or four pixels. But not just in one direction. I was really excited four or five years ago when I started thinking about this. Being able to shoot three exposures and blend them in Photoshop. It seems like Digital Cameras where made for this. But I don't know if it is in the conversion between the Canon firmware and the desktop. Has anyone tried a technique like this. Any one have any problems like this?
