Hi All.
I have recently taken up Macro photography, mainly insects.
I have used my Tamron 90mm f=2,8 on my Nikon D500 with a ring light.
For sometime I have been disappointed with the results because of the very narrow depth of field.
I have now purchased a simple Macro rail and have just taken my first Focus stacking series of a tiny bug, about 2mm long.
Having read about focus stacking I have taken 10 images focused about 0.25mm apart to include the feelers.
I now want to process them using photo stacking.
I am using elements 2018 and I also have the Elements + version.
The process available on Elements is very rudimentary and seems to be limited to three images and then it seems to need a subject like stacked boxes or 3 pencils.
The process using Elements + is much more user friendly but once again seems limited to 3 images in the stack.
I have searched on the web but found little of much help.
Is there a method, using these programs, that will enable me to focus stack my 10 images? I would also like to use it for flowers.
