Digital Light & Color

Can I suggest one more for your list of stitching software options? Microsoft ICE is very good, offers powerful editing choices and is free. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/computational-photography-applications/image-composite-editor/ It is particularly smart about human figures, I...

Re: Levels and Color transformation changes... Cool! A discreet and flexible solution.

Sounds like you have the right idea Maciej. I cropped out a small section (reducing the total number of pixels) and the effect goes away (or at least is reduced so I don't notice it...).

I've sent a couple of images to Jonathan.

Thanks for the support.

I really like Snippets...
