Can anyone tell me if focus stacking can be done in Elements 10? Actually anything anyone could tell me about focus stacking would be very helpful to me :|

Read about Focus Stacking here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_stacking
Focus stacking usually requires a purpose-designed program, such as Helicon Focus (http://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html ), or CombineZP (http://www.hadleyweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CZP/News.htm ), or DeepSkyStacker (http://deepskystacker.free.fr/english/index.html ), or others: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=photo-stack+program&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights=

Zerene is terrific software with equally terrific technical support - - - directly from the software developer. I purchased it after the result achieved in PhotoShop left much to be desired. Zerene not only does better stacking, but makes it infinitely easier to edit the results before saving. It is not inexpensive, but it is well worth the money.

Thank you, Les! I found I could focus stack using PSElements 10, but results were not what I wanted, and the process took a lot of time.
