Master Macro Photography with Advanced Focus Stacking Software

Capturing the intricate details of small objects with a macro lens can be a challenge, as it's impossible to focus on the entire subject in a single shot. This often requires dozens of photos, each focusing on different parts to ensure every tiny detail is sharp.

Recognizing this, we've developed what many consider the best focus stacking software available: our platform seamlessly integrates up to 100 images, automatically blending various depths of field for a perfectly sharp final image. Whether you're working on Mac or Windows, our software makes it easier than ever to achieve professional macro stacking results.

Perfect Clarity with Image Stacker Technology

When you want a crisp landscape you have to use photo stacking software. It combines photos taken at different focal lengths and delivers a razor-sharp image with the foreground, background, and everything in between in focus.

The AI algorithm inside Focus Stacking chooses the crispest parts of all photos and corrects lens and chromatic aberration in raw files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Focus Stacking?

Focus stacking is a technique designed to achieve a deep depth of field by blending (or stacking) several images together. Each stacked shot is focused in a different spot, so the combined depth of field is deeper than the depth of field produced by any of the individual images. Macro and product photographers often use the technique to control which elements are in focus, but it also works well for landscape scenes.

Why do you need Focus Stacking Software?

Software for focus stacking reduces time and efforts that you spend on ordinary focus stacking process. All photos are aligned using the reference photo selected by the artist. The algorithm identifies key points and aligns the image according to those points. The image is divided into small tiles. Then stacking software looks for the most focused and unfocused tiles across different images. After it selects the most focused ones and combines them into one image.

How to do Focus Stacking in Luminar Neo?

Focus Stacking will align, crop, and balance them automatically. The AI algorithm in the core of image stacking software chooses the parts with the best focus across all photos and corrects lens and chromatic aberration in raw files. The result is an image in which every detail pops — in macro shots, still life compositions, or multi-layered landscapes.

How does focus stacking software improve macro and landscape photography?

Focus stacking software enhances images by combining multiple shots taken at different focus distances. In macro photography, it overcomes shallow depth of field limitations, ensuring the entire subject is in sharp focus. In landscape photography, it helps achieve sharpness throughout the scene, from the foreground to the background.

Can I use this focus stacking software for Mac and Windows?

Yes! Many focus stacking software options, including Luminar Neo, are designed for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

What file formats are supported by the photo stacking software, and can I edit RAW files directly?

Photo stacking software typically supports various file formats, including JPEG, TIFF, NG, and PSD files. Editing RAW files directly is a key feature of many focus-stacking applications as well. This allows photographers to work with the highest quality images straight from the camera to ensure the best results.

Can I use focus stacking software for astrophotography or night sky images?

Yes! Focus stacking software can be used for astrophotography and night sky images. It's particularly useful for enhancing the clarity and detail in these types of photos. However, it's important to understand both the photography and software techniques to achieve the best results.
