Seed Star

I wanted to learn about Focus Stacking (combining multiple images to get a greater DOF), but after much searching, concluded neither Lightroom 4 nor Elements 10 have focus stacking capabilities..? I downloaded a free trial of Helicon Focus and was able to get some success even with my handheld macro shots. I'll have to try again with my tripod...
Great shot Kristin, it looks like it has worked for you. I haven't tried that either but I would love to give it a go.

Nice pov! I know nothing about focus stacking but it sounds very interesting....although perhaps a bit of work? Elements 10 is pretty powerful. How about running it thru a panoramic merge in Elements. It would place the seed in the same place in all the photos.

@cortens - I'll look at panoramic merge - haven't used that before. The stacking was super easy once I found the Helicon software. Just import the photos then hit the render button. Even I can handle that. :)

Looks good to me I think elements 12 does stacking:)

I love the texture in this! and I love that the background is so white! It is very effective!
