In Making Sharp Images, I show the benefits of focus stacking using three different algorithms of Helicon Focus versus a single frame with obvious depth of field deficiency. Focus stacking is one more tool available for increasing depth of field, and it can even be used in combination with a tilt/shift lens.

Example: Focus Stacking For Infinite DOF (Wagon)

Images presented in HD and UltraHD sizes along with four large crops showing the results in four areas of the frame.
