It does have a very distinctive look. Not 3D of course but also a kind of diarama kind of look which this shot has. I'd never seen it before without the 3D! Very powerful software this; the software which gives you this effect. It should be great if the whole effect could be put into a separate layer which could be dialed up or down as one realizes or gains a perspective on how much of the effect one really wants! This is the case with most 3rd party software I've seen. Its more than you want of a good thing as I've always seen it done. Anyone ever seen a HDR merge underdone? If you had it in a separate layer you could look at it the next day and dial it back 50 percent or whatever it needs. Same with the day after that. I need to do layers more as I don't as most good photo shoppers do.. I wish I had them in my day to day life. Like grocery shopping and dating. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:05:35 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Why we all should buy an Alpa :-) > > I think I've just been dissed? > > > On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 9:19 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > wrote: > >> Looks like a View-Master picture! >> >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View-Master >> >> -- >> Mark R. >> >> >>> From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at gmail.com> >>> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:02:32 -0800 >>> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Subject: Re: [Leica] Why we all should buy an Alpa :-) >>> >>> Well it is a very unique type of shooting, Richard.
