Just wondering what software to use to produce sequence shots (multiple images overlaid over the same background)?
Oh yeah I have a Mac aswell.

Photoshop is the best. You can download a 30 day trial of Photoshop CS5. Just get the photoshop component, you won't need the rest of the items and it will reduce the download size.

You can find tutorials on how to do it on youtube.

Heres one from the infamous Safety Bay pond last week. Photoshop is your friend for this.

been trying to do a sequence of the rider and the kite with photoshop but can only seem to get the rider overlaid. Is there a way of doing both with photoshop?

Roughly, this is the process I use

Use Photoshop
Use first pic as layer one
Cut portion of pic 2 you need and place it in the apprpriate spot as layer 2
repeat for subsequent pics.
Use eraser and clone stamp to clean it up

If a layer is obscuring the kite just use the eraser to reveal it.

The real difficult part is replicating it in videos, With moving background, only two programs get you out of this pickle, avid/afterfx.

GIMP

It's is a powerful tool just as good a photo shop. And best of all it's free.
