*Helicon Filter offers the basic focus stacking, if you want the advanced solution, then download Helicon Focus - a specialized program for focus stacking from Helicon Soft. The one, both the castle and the branches The castle in the background is in focus. The flowering branches in the front are in On the example below you can see how just two images can give you bigger depth-of-field than ever possible with one shot. Then you open them in Helicon Filter* and merge the sharp parts into one completely sharp image. Now, how does focus stacking works? You prepare a stack of images, each one focused on different part of the scene. So, what to do? Use focus stacking! Focus stacking is a post-processing technique which completely solves the depth-of-field problem. You often face it in macro-photography, and always in micro-photography the bigger magnification you use, the shallower depth-of-field you get.

And all the same, in some cases the small aperture cannot give the needed depth-of-field. But at some point there comes lens difraction and overall loose of sharpness. What do you typically do when you need bigger depth-of-field? You use small apertures. Focus stacking can give you an amazing depth-of-field which can never be achievied with one shot.

Extending the depth-of-fieldīlending several partially-sharp images into the one fully sharp is called "focus stacking".

Why would you do that? To extend the depth-of-field or to reduce noise or to get an interesting artistic effect. With Helicon Filter you can merge several images into one.
