Re: [APML] Very Deep Seagull Nebula

Matt,

That's very impressive. 

Can you say a bit more about whatever problems you had 
combining them? I'm mostly curious about issues due to 
mixing CCD and scanned film. 

What do you think might improve this method? (not that 
it looks to need much improvement!) 

Was it any more difficult getting good color balance 
with the CCD/film component differences than from LAB or 
RGB film methods?

Any problems getting alignment due to differing pel 
sizing?

Nice work!

Steve...
