[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 21872, member: 3903"] Hi Chris, As others have said, depth of field is difficult with close-up shots. But one thing that I noticed with your flower shots is that they seem to be a little on the overexposed side. Since the petals are mostly washed out, it looks like they are not in focus, but in reality they could show more detail if they were more on the darker side. But it's possible to make it look better by just making a copy of the background layer and applying a blur filter to the copy, then create a mask and paint the area you want to keep sharp. Then just sharpen for the output with "unsharp" filter. Here's what I was able to get out of your middle shot. [ATTACH]3073._xfImport[/ATTACH] It's not perfect because I wasn't able to get all the white detail back, but it might help you I hope. [/QUOTE]
