PESO: Focus stack

[Bill]

This is a 39 image focus stack using the X-T5.
Technical crap:
X-T5, 60mm Macro @ f/8, ISO 125, 1/3 second per frame.
My TV room has the best light ever for this sort of stuff.

They can't make me want the camera any more than I already do; they can
only increase my level of pain & frustration that I can't buy one yet.

Just have to grit my teeth & endure until then.

Amazing detail. It would be interesting to see a comparison to a 645Z frame. 
Hard to think that the medium format camera can top that. Well done!

Your wish is my command.
You will note in the larger image that there is a bit of a technical 
flaw where I didn't quite get everything in focus.

So it goes.

I think it's a 12mb jpeg. I saved it at quality 11. Quality 12 gave a

 Hmm, anything special? Does Photoshop directly support focus-stacking somehow?

Yes, Jan, it does and has for several versions now. It includes auto
aligning and creates layer masks so you can manually tweak the results
to your liking. I've used it in food photography to get a large cake
in complete focus.

In Camera Raw, select all the images you want to work with and open 
them. Do whatever adjustments you want, but don't import them into 
Photoshop, just click done. This locks the adjustments.

Again in Camera Raw, go to tools/ photoshop/ open as layers .
The files will all be opened as layers of a single image, rather than as 
discreet images.
Select all the layers, and Edit/auto align. Depending on the number of 
layers, how big the open file is and how fast your computer is, this 
might take a while.
After the machine has chewed through that, Edit/auto blend layers. 
Again, you will get to sit and watch your machine churn through the 
images, and then, like magic, you have one layer on top that has 
everything in focus.

Flatten image and your done.




I missed the focus in a couple of areas anyway, so I decided to run it through 
Portraiture/ Glamour for kicks. See if I could make it into art.

Looks quite good to me!



Thank you. I'm not 100% happy with it, but this is technical photography 
first, so I won't be happy until I have it right.

PESO: Focus Stack

[Bill]

This stuff is fun.
I put the bellows and the hundred macro onto the K3, and mounted the 
whole thing to a Chinese focusing stage. I then shot 16 images (I don't 
know where 36 came from) and loaded them as Photoshop Layers.
A couple of quick commands and voila. I missed the focus in a couple of 
areas anyway, so I decided to run it through Portraiture/ Glamour for 
kicks. See if I could make it into art.

Very nice!

So, you moved the camera with the focusing stage rather than changing focus of 
the lens. I've wondered how well that would work.

RE file size: I've used Helicon Focus for my stacking; whether 5 image layers 
or 11 image layers (my max so far), the resulting TIFF file on my Mac is 
144.4MB.

I actually changed focus. I should probably have moved the stage, since 
that causes less size change. Photoshop handles the layer resizing quite 
well. It's something I will keep playing with.

image layers or 11 image layers (my max so far), the resulting TIFF

When I started the process, I had 2.15 gb, when it was done processing 
but before I flattened it, it was double that.


Thanks
