Focus stacking?

[HiGhGuY]

Just wondering if Paint Shop Photo Pro x3 is capable of Focus Stacking (for macro photography) either natively or with a 3rd party plugin?

There is no built-in function for it. And I don't know of any plugin that works with PSP that will do it either. Of course if it needs access to the EXIF information, which I imagine it would to get the focus levels, from what I hear plugins in PSP can't access that information. So a script would be the best option for this inside of PSP.

You can do it manually or you can use any free third-party software like CombineZP or PICOLAY to do it. Which before CS4 was the recommended method, above manually doing it, for quite a while. I think the software ImageJ has a plugin for it. Funny thing, in CS4 you also had to align the images yourself before the option would work. Not that that's a big thing, they have an automated option for that as well.

Sadly that's all I can offer.
