Depth Compositing Tool
Depth Compositing Tool is a specialized focus stacking application developed by Canon, designed primarily for photographers working with Canon cameras and lenses. The software automatically combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to create a single photograph with extended depth of field, where everything from foreground to background appears sharp. This technique is particularly valuable for macro photography, product photography, and landscape work where achieving complete sharpness throughout the scene is impossible with a single shot. The tool integrates with Canon's Digital Photo Professional workflow and is commonly used by professional photographers who need precise control over focus stacking operations.

Canon has been actively updating their professional software for Apple Silicon compatibility. You should check Canon's official website for the latest version of Digital Photo Professional (DPP), as newer versions likely include Apple Silicon support for all bundled tools including the Depth Compositing Tool. If Canon hasn't updated this tool, consider Helicon Focus or Adobe Photoshop's focus stacking feature as native Apple Silicon alternatives that provide similar functionality.
