love the finished image but when its enlarge its showing the grey sky grainy also there is a line along the top of pic from left-right.....I'm guessing that wouldn't show at normal size or when printed??
Kiya, I can only say that does not happen on my PC, not sure if it appears the same to anyone else?
When I view it enlarged on my PC there is no difference other than an increase in size and I cannot see the lines you speak of. I am wondering if your graphics card is having a problem displaying the resolution?
When you merged the layers ......is that the same as if you "flatten" the layers ?
Not quite, it depends upon which stage you are at the time in your photo editing. If you have a lot of layers open and you decide, “that’s it all done” then you would usually ‘Flatten’ all the layers into just one layer and then save the result as a file. But anywhere within the editing process you may just decide that several layers that you are working on can be combined together as you are happy with the effect you have. In that case you would normally ‘turn off’ all the other layers and either choose ‘Merge Visible’ or just ‘Merge’. Best to think of ‘Flatten’ as something to do when you are completely finished. In my picture for example, I ‘merged’ the first two layers containing the shaded background and the replacement sky into one image before adding the moon and a few more changes onto another layer.

If you take a photo with a camera that has 6 pixels and then take the same photo with a camera that has 10 and another that has 12.....(early and no coffee yet so I hope you get my drift here) and then you crop out say a face and enlarge it. Will the camera with the higher number of pixels produce a better enlarged picture of what was cropped? My camera Nikon D40 only has 6 pixels so do enlargements only go to a certain size before the grain just is so obvious? While another camera with 12 pixels means you could enlarge it more with better results?
Well first off, I hope your camera has more than 6 pixels,
sorry you obviously meant Mega Pixels which of course is in the millions of pixels.
6 Mega Pixels photograph would give you an image size of 2,828 x 2,121 pixels in Landscape mode.
10 Mega Pixels photograph would give you an image size of 3,652 x 2,739 pixels in Landscape mode.
12 Mega Pixels photograph would give you an image size of 4,000 x 3,000 pixels in Landscape mode.
So if you imagine trying to blow up a picture to a really large size, then the more pixels there were to start with, the more you could zoom into the picture before it started to ‘pixelate’ (when you start to see little squares appearing)
It is unlikely that you will have such a big difference between your camera settings to make a lot of difference when copying between them. A good example would be, if you took Granddads close-up ‘Ladybird’ picture and pasted it into another image that was taken at a low resolution, it would probably look false as it would have a lot more detail in a very small area than the original picture contains, so it would tend to stand out.
On the other hand if you had a picture of a ‘Ladybird’ on a general photograph of a bush and you zoomed in on the Ladybird, it would start to pixelate as you made it bigger. If you now copied and pasted this into another photograph of say a flower, it would again probably look false because it would not have as much detail (less pixels) as the flower picture had at normal resolution levels. It is usually most noticeable if you cut and paste between pictures that vary a lot in actual size say something out of a landscape picture pasted into a close up picture or vica versa, hope this makes sense.
Grandad, I bought one of those tripods a couple of years back from Aldi, a £9.99
bargain or what?
