I take 3 or 4 ARW shots of each subject, manual focus, from a tripod, using 4 different f-stops, and 4 different shutter speeds. Combine in Elements or (my favorite) Photomatix.

that's great for HDR but I don't think it's the same for focus stacking. Thanks

This is going to be more challenging than I anticipated. I was hoping for advice on camera settings. I have done Milky Way photography with success using multiple exposures and stacking software. I use ACR for most editing. Will check out focus bracketing. Thanks for the articles.

Focus stacking Sony A7iii

What is the easiest way to do focus stacking with Sony A7iii? I am going to Yellowstone next week and hopefully will do a lot of landscape photography. Do I have to use manual focus? Can I use "Flexible spot:L" with autofocus? One YouTube video suggested Manual focus and use peaking to move from foreground to background. Also, f stop advice is from 5.6 to f8. I will be using Tamron 28-200 lens. I was not going to pack my wide angle due to weight.
Thanks for all the advice.

Looking for company to print calendars

I have been using Bay Photo to print wildlife calendars but it’s the second time I have had mishaps with my order. Instead of getting 50 calendars, I got someone’s wedding album. The calendars are on heavy stock, spiral binding and printed with 6 colors. If anybody can make a recommendation, I would appreciate it. On a side note, someone received my calendars but Bay Photo doesn’t know who got them. Thanks, Fran

I have used Picaboo for several years for calendars. Very consistent and good results!

How to revert edited raw pic to original with bridge.

Linda From Maine wrote:

In Bridge:
"To clear Camera Raw adjustments from your photo, go to Adobe Bridge, Control-click on the photo's thumbnail and choose Clear Settings, under Develop Settings."

In ACR:
"If you want to remove edits, and return the image to the original unedited version, Control-click on the thumbnail and choose Clear Camera Raw Settings."

(works for those with PS Elements' version of ACR also)

Thanks. It worked.

How to revert edited raw pic to original with bridge.

I always shoot in raw and am unfamiliar with those terms. If I want to save a file as jpg I will save ad srgb.....etc

How to revert edited raw pic to original with bridge.

I use bridge, ACR and PS. I have discovered that when I edit a pic in ACR, not saving it as psd, tiff or jpg, and even if I hit cancel, the raw image shows the edit. See screenshot. I want to change it back to show original data. I am doing a workshop and have to present a before and after rendition of a pic. I have noticed this repeatedly and cannot find the remedy so far online. I hope you all can help. I use MacBook Pro.

Time to upgrade mac OS

I upgraded from 13.5 Ventura to 13.6 for photography reasons. Was told to wait for jump to Sonoma? There are still bugs here. No need to take that leap.
