FOCUS STACKING Images using Focus Peaking - with Photoshop Edit

[@derrickkelly4745]

Nice one Matt. I’d never thought of using focus peaking for focus stacking and it’s a cool idea

Thanks… Yea makes it really quick and simple. Especially for shots like this. I think Nikon has this feature as well and Canon is yet to offer it in their cameras.

Excellent tutorial Matt and superb Image, it just goes to show that focus stacking isn't as simple as its made out.

Thanks David, yes it isn't as straight forward as it looks. Especially with a moving fern in each frame and even Photoshop still wanting to use a blurred depth of field image for the foreground detail. But there is always a way in Photoshop, just got to think about how to do it and take a few goes. Took me an hour of playing around to come up with that solution and it paid off. I forgot to say in the tutorial that if you can focus stack a moving fern image you can focus stack anything lol

Thank you for sharing Matt. I reckon I'll be watching this one again. 👍

It’s a great technique that’s worth the effort. Any problems or questions feel free to ask and I’ll help where I can.

Top quality tutorial. Great seeing your thorough workflow.

Thanks… telling people how to do it and then say it’s a three image stack isn’t fair without showing the edit as well and the problems. Lol
