not sure if this should go in macro or here. Been trying out image stacking, using helicon focus. Took some flowers using 30 shots. I found it doesn't work tho when the flower has bits sticking out. ie it's not a smooth transition from one side to another, but pics of the stamen side on so that you have huge variations of depth.

Is it just impossible to do this?

not at all... admittedly i dont use helcion, i use combine zm which to me works very well. the trick is to take pics that overlap in focus to get a smooth transition :)

here is one of them, see there are areas that are never in focus I suspect due to the range, so it can't fix them? I don't mean the halos, but where one stalk is in front of another, that overlapping area
