    Focus stacking

    Hi.

    I've been wanting to try some focus stacking software, who has used what whether it be free or paid?

    I don't really want to go down the paid subscription with PS so I was thinking Helicon Focus.

    Thoughts?

    I've used ON1 Photo Raw 2019.6 focus stacking facility with great success. Not free though.

    See if CombineZP is still around it was a freebie I used to play around with it a few years back.

    I shoot with Olympus Cameras.. Sometimes Canon and My iPhone SE 2020

    I have used Helicon Focus although I have purchased a licence so it probably has more functionality than a free version.

    I have found it works extremely well, but I have always used it tripod mounted with a focusing rail so the input frames have been aligned in the field as it were.

    Cheers

    Purely as another method, there's photo-stacking in GIMP. I can't even remember if I ever tried it...
    This video shows how. Note that GIMP is now at version 2.10.12.
    CC, Image editing OK.
