Hi Everyone.
I recently took 22 photographs of 2 trees that i had lit using my 580exII.
I was wondering if instead using the eraser tool in cs5 could i emphesise the lighter parts in all 22 pictures to combine a picture saving me time on PP.
Kind regards
Patrick

    You could try stacking them and set the blending mode of the layers above the base image to either lighten or lighter color. If you have to eliminate something, it's better to use a mask on that layer than use the eraser tool--you can always adjust a mask, but you can't undo the effects of the eraser once you save the image.
