thats a very good point, dunno, in my case is was a dark grey, which seemed to work upon first impression.

PS: just thought you had gone fishing
righto, that sounds good, see the version down below, i think that actually does work better, in my reworked version I reckon I still need even thinner border lines.
I wish I was fishing

I think you already have the answer to this now, in
PS its a piece of cake albeit I would not like to have to do it all the time. Heres what I do, bearing in mind i very rarely use
PS. Make a new file big enough and copy the 3 images onto it, move and adjust to the grid (set grid to something small in Preferences) make BG black or white, then if you want the extra thin borders just draw black boxes (on new layer) around the images snapping to the grid, make sure that layer is below the images and done.

Nice series Gerry.
ta, Matt you make a good point that the first is more logical with the a/c coming down etc.
With regard to the tilt, man ya busting me nuts
check out that second image in the first series, that is about as symmetrical as ya can get on a plane view
Strangely enough I did not even have to correct any tilt on these ones..

module which can automatically create these multi image layouts (tryptych's, etc) and you can also save templates for future use where you just drag images from your filmstrip into the spots and voila.
yeah did it in LR3 also
LR3 option for this is pretty neat and very quick, is there a option to print to tiff rather than jpeg in the print
mod?

see below, cheers guys.

Another vote for #1 is you use them as is.
How about keeping the same thickness of borders but slighly tilting each image to make it more whimsical.... I guess this way it won't be a triptych per-se but three connected images...
crabbing is simply referring to the aircraft coming into approach with a yawed (directional, forward-rear) heading to counteract the cross wind (if you fly a straight path with wind coming from the left you get blown off course). Some aircraft and some pilots fly this approach 'crabbed' (nose pointing to the left (wind direction) all the way down until metres off the deck whereby the straighten it up and then drop it on the tarmac - others just crab in then plonk it down and the aircraft straightens up for them when on the tarmac.
so in the images posted, you can see it very clearly on the second series, where teh 747-400 has its nose clearly pointed to the left until a few metres off teh deck where it is now almost striaght down the centreline.
Check out youtube and do a search or crosswind landings, make sure you look at the 777 test flights and the famous 747 landings at the old Kai Tak Airport
enough babble...
alright version 2
and just for kicks and giggles the LR3 one
