CombineZM

[eTraxx]

I posted a link to CombineZM in the D.Krakow Auto Repair thread. Rather then hi-jack that thread any further ..

Chuck Doan mentioned - Looks like that Helicon software (or something like it) is the way to go for minature depth of field.

Like I said, I posted a link to download CombineZM which is a free photo stacking program. It is very easy to use .. but .. here's a Tutorial for stacking with CombineZM software

I just did a quick and dirty test of the software. The only glitch I ran into was a small strip at the very bottom and left of the stacked photo that appeared to be a mirror of the 'bit' above it. That was simple enough to strip off the finished photo.

Here's the scene using Auto focus at f29


Here's the same scene created from 9 photos of varying focus distance using Combine ZM


Got no complaints .. as hard to beat 'Easy and Free' as Frederic put it.
