i have been messing about with a few tutorials and some of the stuff i have needs compositing so i can finsh them off.

obviously im not heavily into this side of 3d stuff, (well not yet anyway) so after effects or whatever is out of question. Anyone know a good program i could mess about with?

Who said "individually"? user added image

Might want to check upon Photoshop´s docs for info on batch editing (With their ActionScripts). That way You just click and he does the rest ..

Sometimes they even use it to blur (Depth of Field) some rendered layers just in case the renderer didn´t do a good job ...

Now Of course Combustion or AfterEffects are better .. just saying it CAN be done in Photoshop. user added image

Great huh? user added image
