Better to stretch to lighter and more noise than the other way. Use PS for blending the finals but register them with registar. PS is hopeless at aligning. It's not designed for that. Illustrator which is vectorised does a better job but PS because it has to sample as it's pixel based will always interpolate and make a mess out of things.

Hi Marc,

I don't think I scaled one to the other particularly beyond levels/curves and it probably occurred in the processing of the 2nd panel before stitching. I think it occurred from a layer using overlay mode.

I took another 3 or 4 hours of panel 2 last night so I will redo it fully and see how it comes out now. Plus I'll use CS4 as it does a good job at stitching.

Greg.
