    Nice tip on spot healing tool. Didn’t realize the results would change with repeated attempts.

  80. Hi RC!

    I’m enjoying HDR Efex Pro 2 that I bought the other week thanks to you, but now I am wondering how I can make a HDR panorama – the tool doesn’t do batch processing? Should I stitch together the frames first separately before doing HDR; or first do HDR and then stitch?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    really cool show! I love it!

  86. Taylor Finley says:

    Great show. I like seeing the creative “side stuff” they do like the “Mother of Machete”. It got me thinking if I could do something like that, and then make me think it could be cool to give some “homework” on a creative idea. Maybe you could provide a few pics/graphics and then the next episode (after we struggle through it at home) you could whip it out and show how you guys would do it.

  87. Great show. Would love some tips on the lens correction filter.
    Looking forward to reading Picture Perfect Practice :)
    Regards,

  88. Gutemberg says:

    Good show, the pictures of RC ‘s mother are good and Corey works is super thank you guys.
    Less talk and more fun.
    Could you tell me where I can see tutorial about Flash?

    Thank you!!
