[QUOTE="nickt, post: 705117, member: 4923"] Yeh, you should get LR and PS as part of the $10/month photography package. Adobe plays some marketing games and doesn't always show everybody the same offerings. Sometimes you have to dig. How big are the objects and how much detail do you need? Before you get too involved with the stacking, try a high aperture and back up a couple of feet. You will need more shutter time and/or more light. As you back up, dof increases. You should have plenty of mp to do some cropping to get back to a close view. If you are not using a tripod, then you will need flash or more light. Keep your iso low though. I like somewhere between 100-400. Try to focus on a midpoint front to rear, not the front face of the object. Here are a couple of quick shots. Handheld with flash and I used single point autofocus. With a tripod and manual focus you can do better. Find your sweet spot for backing up but still having enough detail after cropping. Some like to use live view to manually focus, you can zoom and really get it perfect.
