And it also came with a recommendation from another well known photographer working in same genre of photography as myself.įor a piece of software to be successful for me it not only has work well but also adapt and fit into my workflow. Although it is standalone it can export and import images from Lightroom with ease, a feature I have not tested as I am not a Lightroom user. Helicon Focus is a standalone piece of software dedicated to focus stacking and as such it has a better refined algorithm for blending the images, and some very useful features. And I didn't bother trying with any of the others. So at the time I abandoned the process and settled for the best I could from an image shot at F16, I ditched some of the foreground. CS6 did a great job, but on close inspection there were small issues areas that were not sharp, and strange effects where bits of sand and grit had been duplicated. I had taken a number of frames all gradually moving the focus point in each image then blending them together to create one sharp image containing all the detail that I wanted to capture. The two portrait photographs in this article (above) were first attempted in Photoshop CS6. And as I sat and listened to the presentation I realised that this beautiful and simple piece of software could provide the answer to some problems I had recently had with some images I was working on. Helicon Focus is produced by HeliconSoft, a company that I had not heard of until a few months ago.
