Once again, focus stack
Oct 5, 2015 01:41:36 #
This is the first try at getting everything in focus. Didn't quite make it, so it looks like focus stacking is the solution to the problem. I have found lots of ways to do it with programs, and with PhotoShop. But, I have Photo Shop Elements 12, and cannot find a way to do the focus stacking.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Elements can't do focus stacking. You'll have to upgrade to photoshop cc or use a program like Helicon Focus or Zerene. Helicon Focus and Zerene have more options/capability than CC. I'm sure there are other programs that I don't know about.
I have a lot of fun with focus stacking.

All good advice. The problem is lack of money due to HUGE medical expenses. Right now things must be free, or at no additional cost.
Next year when money is less critical, an investment in new software will be at the top of the list.

I agree that Helicon or Zerene are the way to go. I have been using Helicon Focus and the results are extraordinary,
