When performing a merge to HDR, the resulting merge completes successfully (or gives the impression that it has) even when the source images are not all equally sized. When the clone source panel opens for manual deghosting, etc., you can examine the resulting processing that AP has performed on each image to equalize the exposure - for the smaller images, the right and lower edges of the undersized images are repeated to the borders of the large image size, making these source images useless for cloning, etc. Also, the undersized image appears as if it has been scaled up to the full size of the other images but then only the top left quarter of the image has been properly used, with the rest of the image being the repeated streaks of pixels - either that or one of the other images has been substituted into the undersized image's slot but, again, improperly rendered. In any case, it makes me wonder how the actual merge completed successfully (was the undersized image ignored completely?). It seems like there should be some error checking going on prior to attempting the merge that would prevent this from occurring - "WARNING: Source images are not all equally sized." Or something to that effect. Kirk
