Basti Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi guys, I have a couple of fotos of a nice beach scene in which I used the stacking technique for object remove to remove people walking around. But at the same time I would like to use "Long Exposure Simulation" to smoothen out the sea movement. How can I combine these two techniques? Any idea?

Staff James Ritson Posted April 6, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hey Sebastian, object removal is Median stacking, which should already produce a long exposure effect with the sea - is this not the case for you? You should get both results you're after from the same stack. If not, one approach might be to do a Merge Visible with a Median stack, hide it, change the stack to Mean and do another merge visible. You'll then have two merged pixel layers--one Median, one Mean. You could then add a mask layer to one and blend them together. This might not work if you've got people in the sea though...

Basti Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi James, thanks for the quick reply. I was just thinking about rephrasing my question into how to combine two different stacks... just tried it out. I created two new stacks, one with Median one with Mean. And created a new Layer with the selected part. Worked as intended! :-) Thanks for the quick help and pointin me into the right direction. Just started :-) Kind regards Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
