HeliconFocus
HeliconFocus is a specialized photography software designed for focus stacking - a technique that combines multiple images taken at different focus points to create a single image with extended depth of field. The software is popular among macro photographers, scientific researchers, and product photographers who need sharp detail throughout their entire subject. HeliconFocus uses advanced algorithms to align and blend the focused areas from each source image, creating results that would be impossible to achieve with a single photograph. It's particularly valuable for close-up work where achieving sufficient depth of field optically is challenging or impossible.
