Face of a yellow fly.

Post by Walter Piorkowski »

Image

Canon 10D
Canon 20mm macro lens @ f/5.6
Extension tube
46 image stack at .002 inch increments
Photoshop, Maxim DL

Although not retaining as much of the sharpness of the original images I submit this stacked image. It is my first with a really good macro lens on loan from a friend. I think it is time to try a different software package on this kind of subject.

I agree. The upper portions of this image show the sort of radial smearing that I would expect from software that did not adjust images to compensate for scale changes from one image to the next. If that's really what's going on, both Helicon Focus and CombineZ5 (CombineZM) should take care of this for you.

What you have here is a very promising start, though.
