Pixel Shifted Images

Lots of nice images here! I've been trying to shoot some landscapes using Pixel Shift and have generally been having good results just developing in LR6 which has gotten better the last couple of updates.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to ID your images as Pixel Shift images in Lightroom? I forget which shots were shifted and have to look at file sizes which is a little cumbersome.

Here are a couple from last night.

K-1 & ff mod 60-250

The first image has some artifacts where there was movement from the breeze but it's not too bad IMO.

Lightroom 3.6 Import has two ways to do this. I assume you can do the same in version 6. You could use the "rename files" to add something like "_PS" to the end of the filename, or add "Pixel Shift" as a keyword to your PS files and use it to sort images later. I would also try and look at the metadata of a PS file in LR6 and see if there is anything in the data you can use to sort. Since I don't have LR6 installed, that's about all I can do for suggestions. Good luck!

Nice images, Matt! I especially like #1 with the blue of Venus belt rising up from that rock notch.

I'm just starting to play with PS -- did my first test shots from a local peak recently.

At first, I was amazed at the overall sharpness -- much sharper than a normal shot. Then I was horrified to see various checkerboard and zipper-edge artifacts where distant cars, not-so-distant foreground veg moved, and perhaps the camera shifted the tiniest amount. But finally I realized it's only visible at pixelpeeper resolutions and that the artifacts will disappear like a dither or halftone at a modest dpi.

Quality.

Lloyd Chambers loved the 50 macro on the K-1.

Great pic

Although it doesn't look very "Roaring"
