Are we tired of my attempts at triptych's yet?

whilst this one does have similar images, i did (which is not immediately obvious) achieve one thing, i got the compositions and frame correct straight out of the camera - no croppage required.

thoughts?

OK - so my lame comments as it were...

- to me the image almost has a pano feel (like you're chopping a single image into thirds - rather than three separate images) - with that in mind...
- the left and middle parts match up quite well except the rock jutting in on the left of the middle image has a different tone/feel to the bit it matches to it's left - but could be made to blend better (lightening perhaps?)
- the horizon on the right image doesn't match the other two and could come down a fraction
- the blue of the sky in the middle image (and the right side of the left) could be lightened a fraction to better match

... what does it look like with left and right images swapped?

I reckon this is the best effort you have shown us so far and I like it. As Rodney has already stated the horizon in the RH image needs to be a fraction lower. I reckon you need to remove the watermark from all of images and have it on just one or on the border.

These are a great sequence. They fit together very well.

the lightening of teh rock would be a good idea.

I swapped the left and right images and flipped them, adjusted the now RHS to remove the outcrop rock and got all the horizons aligned.

It looks good, i am indifferent on whether it is better than the original, i will have to mull it for a while.

horizon corrected and watermarked removed - alrighty LR experts how do you put a single watermark on a triptych sequence?

cheers Daniel..note its all your fault btw.

... actually I was thinking swapped but not flipped (so the edges went outwards and not inwards - so a large X and not an o). I wasn't really suggesting it would definitely be better just wondering what it might look like and if it was

You've got two options - either in the print module (where you setup the triptych?) you can add a single watermark (using the Identity plate function in the right column & make yourself a suitable identity plate to use) - often onto the border area rather than the image. Or "print" the image to a file without any watermarks as a jpeg highest res and then import back into lightroom and add watermark on export. NB: I reckon the first gives you more control over placement, etc.

where is my 100% guarantee?

can you position the identity plate? i found you could only rotate it when on teh RHS of teh image.

It's in the mail - trust me

Yes - when I've used it I can move, resize, whatever - just click on it wherever it appears on the layout and drag/rezise/stretch/ it wherever.
