HeliconFocus is a specialized focus-stacking and depth-of-field control tool designed for photographers who need precise control over which parts of their images are in sharp focus. It allows users to combine multiple images taken at different focal distances into a single photograph with extended depth of field, a technique particularly valuable in macro photography, product photography, and detailed landscape work. The app helps overcome the physical limitations of camera lenses by computationally merging the sharp regions from several shots, producing results that would be difficult or impossible to achieve in-camera. It is widely used by professional and enthusiast photographers working in studio, macro, and technical photography disciplines.
