FarFromSane Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Experimenting with multiple exposure blending. Model on a swing. It looks fine when the models exposures do not overlap, but there are artifacts when she does overlap. How do I deal with the artifacts that happen when the exposures overlap? Thanks !

Staff Gabe Posted May 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi @FarFromSane, There is nothing "wrong" with the photo. The mode you selected, Outlier—exposes pixel content that differs in each image. So it's working correctly. If you want a cleaner look, you will have to manually mask out the areas. Duplicate the Stack, go to Arrange > Ungroup . Mask out the pixelated areas using masks and selections. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted May 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted May 24, 2018 Another option could be to use a focus merge, rather than a live stack group. Import your images into the focus merge and then use the clone brush tool on each layer until you have an output you are happy with. It is only rough, but I have attached a file showing how I would do this to achieve the below effect!

carl123 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 A third option is you can just use the Erase brush on each of the 6 layers in the stack to erase the artefacts. It's quite logical once you see how one layer is responsible for the artefacts on another layer Annie2.afphoto stokerg and FarFromSane 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

GoSmarter Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 On 5/24/2018 at 4:34 PM, GabrielM said: Outlier—exposes pixel content that differs in each image Just gave it a go with 2 pictures with this person in 2 different places. Got some strange transparency behavior. Maybe the pixels are to similar in this particular photo? Or maybe a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted January 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks for your file, with only 2 source images this is to be expected. I would recommend that stacking is not the best option for your images and that you'd be better off using a Focus Merge operation, cloning the sections of the image that you want in the final image. You can find out more on Focus Merging in the video below!

CharlesMenifee7 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Is there anyway to do this on the iPad? I really would like to use the clone brush, but apparently I can’t bring up the source box or can I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi @CharlesMenifee7, Welcome to the forums and my sincerest apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately the iPad app doesn't currently support the Sources Studio when Focus Merging, although this is a feature we hope to include in the future Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
