Focus Stacking – A Guide to Creating Amazingly Sharp Images - Sat Mar 29, 2025 9:00 AM (New York time zone) Registration is only $24.95 |
Focus Stacking is a technique which allows you to create the precise depth of field that you want. When you focus-stack, you get extended depth of field in perfect focus and sharpness, while maintaining a blurred background if desired. It is the perfect technique for macro, landscape and product photography.
As a photographer who's been focus stacking for over 15 years, I teach everything a photographer needs to know to start focus stacking, including lighting, how to take the images and how to process your images using Lightroom & Photoshop, Photoshop, or Helicon Focus software. The workshop includes a PowerPoint presentation along with demonstrations showing how to shoot and process stacked images.
Participants are provided with a copy of the PowerPoint slides and the presentation will be recorded. Attendees are provided with a private link of the recording to review as often as they like.
