[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 525908, member: 7240"] I haven't used PSE, but Photoshop CC for stacking, yes. Your approach is the correct one, IMHO. If you shoot landscape using a moderate aperture (f/8 ish) you don't lose small details and sharpness for diffraction, and you can achieve deeper DOF than possible in any other way without tilt/shift lenses. Have you had a look at the specialized stacking tools like Zerene Stacker (free, IIRC) and PhotoAcute (also free, if you supply one lens/camera profile per their instructions. I did that some years ago, wasn't a big deal). PhotoAcute can also do Superresolution, but that feature too is now built in Photoshop CC. PA's results are better than PS's if you have a supported lens/camera combo, but then again you can make the profile yourself! My D3X routinely delivers 48 or 96 megapixel superresolution images without panorama stitching, and that makes shooting and processing faster and more streamlined. [/QUOTE]
