Looks pretty good but I'm not sure about that last step...the color one. I think it looked better before, just my opinion.
Great way to show what image editing can do though

well - if you saw it printed out you'd see why. the first 3 are waaay too yellow. the last one looks like lush green grass. remember - GIFs are limited to 256 colors. so it looks a little weird but the final output was actually nice imho. the client wanted that 'picture-perfect postcard look'.

Have you thought about trying it in Flash? You could get a nice smooth transition between the images and more than 256 colors.....

Is this program top secret aor am I being ignored??? :arggg:
sorry enigma. been out of the house (trying to move). uhh - i guess i don't quite know what program you are referring to so here is everything i used (and i work on a Mac G5):
- imported RAW files into Adobe Photoshop CS2 (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/), corrected and saved as TIFF
- repaired sky in Photoshop CS2
- repaired perspective in LensFixCI (http://www.kekus.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=676&d=1154528173) by Kekus (new stand-alone beta version of the LensFix tools only available for Mac OSX 10.4+ users)
- repaired grass and stuff with Adobe Photoshop CS2
- took some screenshots of my project, saved them as GIFs, and made a GIF animation with GIFfun (http://www.stone.com/GIFfun/GIFfun_by_Stone_Design.html)

i should maybe make it as a Flash file. i appreciate the heads up on that :)
i only posted it to show curious people that 'image overhauling' sometimes needs to be done to make a picture worthwhile.

Wow, I thought it was one program you did it all with. How long did it take you? The realtor I'm working with has asked about inserting "grass" in pics. Thanks for the info-
8+ hours Photoshop time :(
