Subject: [Leica] Why we all should buy an Alpa :-)

Well not really a dis. I'm real fond of my View-Master memories!
It does have a very distinctive look.  Not 3D of course but also a kind of
diarama kind of look which this shot has.  I'd never seen it before without
the 3D!
Very powerful software this; the software which gives you this effect.
It should be great if the whole effect could be put into a separate layer
which could be dialed up or down as one realizes or gains a perspective on
how much of the effect one really wants! This is the case with most 3rd
party software I've seen. Its more than you want of a good thing as I've
always seen it done. Anyone ever seen a HDR merge underdone?
If you had it in a separate layer you could look at it the next day and dial
it back 50 percent or whatever it needs. Same with the day after that.

I need to do layers more as I don't as most good photo shoppers do.. I wish
I had them in my day to day life.
Like grocery shopping and dating.
