Hi all,

Got a weird shot of the moon this evening with a big circle round it (looked much better in person than in this pic) but had to take 2 shots to get it all in.

I have joined the two RAW files in PS and spent ages messing with the levels but they just won't match up. I have been trying all eve and got close (the large raw looks better than the jpg btw) but you can still see the line across the join.

I don't have much experience with RAW but shot it in RAW to ensure I could get the closest match. Can someone please advise how I can get these to blend? Is there a better way than levels?

Many thanks!

If you bring both images into a file as layers, does the auto blend facility in the edit menu help? (Assuming CS4 or CS5 - can't remember if CS3 or earlier has this capability).)

That's almost perfect - thank you so much!
I just need to tinker ever so slightly now. So much easier than messing manually.
Thank you!:thumbs:
 
You could try turning the top layer blend mode to screen, that'll make the black in that layer vanish.
