Correcting for uneven illumination

If I want to reproduce some artwork, what is the best way of correcting for slight evenness in illumination? Can I replace the artwork with white card, re-photograph under identical conditions, and use this second image in a composite with the first to automatically correct? Or is there another way?...

Re: PWP and graphics tablets

The 'fix my pen' page is the automated way. You can also take a look at this: http://viziblr.com/news/2011/8/14/the-ultimate-guide-to-making-your-wacom-tablet-work-on-windo.html which takes one through a manual configuration approach. The 'rings' problem still needs a registry change, but the author...

Re: PWP and graphics tablets

I thought I had minimized the effect that Lorin refers to, but when I look into it I think I must have been mistaken. That prompted me to do an internet search, and I believe it is possible to switch it off in Vista and W8, but not W7. On the Wacom website: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=2&am...

Re: Warp?

Thank you Jonathan. I've used both Arcsoft Panorama Maker 3 and Microsoft Ice. The latter did allow me to try out different perspectives but it didn't solve the problem. I had a quick look at the Lens Distortion transformation but I think it would need a fair bit of practise to get it to produce the...

Warp?

Usually when I make casual attempts at producing a panorama (hand held), I end up with an image which narrows at the ends, for example: Perveril Castle.jpg I could just crop it down so as to get rid of the blank areas, but that loses some of the image. What I would like to do is stretch just the end...

Re: Workflow order

OK thanks Kiril; as I thought. May be an ability to 'drag n drop' widgets might be nice to have at some point.

Workflow order

Can the widget order in an existing workflow be changed, or at least can an existing widget be copied and pasted? I'd quite like to use existing widgets with their associated parameter sets but would prefer not to have to start from scratch and re-build them in a different order. Nothing in the docu...

Re: Clone/Paint softness profile

I accept that multiple strokes using low transparency is one way to blend a clone, but the downside for cloning (painting is probably different) is that if there is much by way of texture in the area then the act of applying multiple strokes is to smooth away any texture. So the cloned area becomes ...

Re: Clone/Paint softness profile

Hmm, no takers! (PS. Ah, I see that there is now a reply from John) Well, perhaps I am a lone voice, but by way of illustrating what I mean, here are two recreations of the clone disk. The first image shows what I am asking for. I would have thought that this profile would give a more subtle blendin...
