You don't need 14 images: you could have done the same with 5-6. And your website isn't running very well: the video wouldnt load so I cant comment on that.

I hope it was just using the automated focus stacking option in Photoshop. Otherwise you wasted time.

Thanks for the comments I know I didn't need 14 images, but once you see the video that will make more sense.

Sorry the movie wouldn't load, not sure what that is about? It happened to me once, but not today.

Best,

My question is why don't you use the built-in stacking option in Lightroom? I've never used either option before, but I assume it's roughly the same as PhotoShops version

Thanks for the tut though, video works good for me

There is no focus stacking otion in Lightroom. I think your mistaking the way you can group photos into "stacks" in lightroom. Not the same thing as Focus Stacking.

Yes, I was. I saw it in your video but had never used the feature. I tried when I got done and found out it's not the same


BTW, I used your tutorial and got these results:
