Via Flickr:
Used Photoshop’s Set Stack Order command on a Smart Object created from all the iPhone snapshots I took in May 2010. I left out the stack orders that left a white screen. Images posted are titled with the stack order that produced the result.

This began with me wanting to learn how timmmmyboy did that Averaging Concepts Using Flickr assignment over at the ds106.us web site. So I completed his tutorial and realized that in addition to mean there were a host of other statistical concepts Photoshop can apply to a stack of photos.

I wanted to remember what the different choices looked like when I go to try this again so I created this as a visual reference for comparison.

The video script with a bibliography is available in PDF and Word Document formats. I also posted a Barringer Meteorite Crater photo set on Flickr from my visit to the crater.

For documentation’s sake so I can find all this if I need it again, here’s what fixed it. I found XMLRPC Error with WordPress (SOLUTION) in the Dreamhost support forum. The post said to add this code block to your xmlrpc.php file:

if (phpversion()=="5.2.2") $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] =
file_get_contents("php://input");

I had already tried adding this, but to no avail. With or without it, my installation of WordPress was not taking posts from Flickr or Blip.tv. But the poster went on to add that the beginning of his xmlrpc.php file looked like this:

<?php

define ('XMLRPC_REQUEST', TRUE);

// Some browser-embedded clients send cookies. We don't want them.
$_COOKIE = array();

if (phpversion()=="5.2.2") $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] =
file_get_contents("php://input");

That’s when I realized that my own xmlrpc.php file did not have the

define ('XMLRPC_REQUEST', TRUE);

line. That was the key to the kingdom. Posting from Flickr and Blip.tv is working again for this bird. Hooray!
