This picture is a study in perseverance. A few weeks ago I shot some focus brackets using the Helicon Tube. After I finished shooting, I realized that I had been shooting raw. I went ahead and shot one more set using JPeg Fine because I stack with Zerene and Zerene doesn't work with raw files. The last set was OK but I didn't like the perspective as well as some of the raw shots and I didn't have time to shoot more.
I didn't get around to stacking until this morning. It's very hot and I'll admit to being a bit bored. I seldom do batch processing but I quickly figured out that I could use Capture NXD to convert all my raw bracket shots to tiff using batch processing. So easy and Zerene was happy! The stack came out well with only minimal touch-up required. I decided to use the touch up tools and some of the source files to selectively soften the background foliage. I ended up with a file that only needed a slight crop in regular post, no other adjustments. The final result of a morning's work is just this one!
