We discuss a simple method for focus stacking photos in Adobe Photoshop. Focus stacking is an important technique to learn, particularly when shooting with wide angle lenses. Visit my website to see more of my work: www.kylegoetsch.com
Very well done. I noticed your comment about creating a TIFF in LR and that you do most of your editing there. When are you making your color adjustments before exporting into PS? After the stacking, but before saving the file as a TIFF, or once the TIFF is back in LR? Thanks - Joe
Thank you for the simplicity explanation and easy to follow PS tutorial. I'm going to try this for my next wide angle landscape macro photography shots.
When doing stacking like this, what format do you Dave the final resulting photo. I am mainly interested if it can be sent to Lightroom possibly as an HDR
Great question. If you are far away from the water like I am in this video it works fine. If you are close to the water it’s a lot harder to match up and you may have to manually brush in the layers. I do a quick edit before and then the bulk of my editing post blending
Yes it is. You can, but it’s much faster to just click and shoot for the 2 or 3 photos you need. The shift focusing is ideal for macro where many layers are needed
