You will need to tweak the settings slightly to really take advantage of this, but when you do that, I think that for the majority of images, the majority of the time it gives you the best quality. In other words, it is generally more difficult to create a high-quality focus stack than it is to create a high-quality HDR image. In my opinion, Capture One, especially Capture One 20 produces the best all-round quality image. The reason for this is that in general I find focus stacking to be a process that is much less tolerant of small errors. Windows The built-in focus stacking feature of Phase One XF Camera System combined with this plugin provides a simple and easy workflow for creation of stunning images with infinite depth of field. However, I would favor creating the focus stacked images before assembling the HDR. Helicon Focus plugin for Capture One provides a fully automatic roundtrip workflow to Helicon Focus from within Capture One. In other words, you could create the HDR images for each bracketed shot in the stack, or focus stack the images for each exposure of the HDR. More Detail: It is generally possible to create an HDR with focus-stacking in either order. Tim’s Quick Answer: When you both bracket the exposures and capture for focus stacking at the same time, I recommend creating the focus-stacked images first, and then combine the results in to the final HDR (high dynamic range) images. Today’s Question: If I manually bracket three images using Exposure Compensation (such as meter, +2 stops, -2 stops) and I also adjust the focus point to a different position in the frame for each set of bracketed exposures to achieve a focus stack, how can I successfully blend the images in Lightroom or Photoshop or with DxO plugins to achieve both purposes?
