How To Focus Stack In Photoshop For Beginners.
In this video I show an easy way to focus stack your images so you can get a sharp image from the foreground to the background.
I will use Lightroom to organise my photos then export to Photoshop.
Don't be daunted by Photoshop as I was at first, this isn’t too complicated, so give it a go. 😊😊

This deserves more views and likes, Stephen. Very simple, clear instructions, and exactly the same method I use.
Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to watch 👍
lovely tutorial mate, very informative 👏
Thank you mate, 👍😊
Nice n easy. Thanks Steve. The only additional steps I take are: a) do any basic editing (no masks) and de-noising, applying edits across the 3 images before sending them to Photoshop, and b) to flatten the layers in Photoshop before saving the merged photo. Depending on the number of stacked images you have, the resulting TIFF file could be absolutely massive without layers flattened.
Thanks for watching Tim, really appreciate it 👍 thank you for the extra tips too, very helpful 👍👍
Great tutorial Stephen!
Thank you mate, really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment, hope you’re keeping well 👍
This was excellent, i'm a relative newbie to photography and whilst i've got my head round lightroom I find photoshop a bit more daunting. Focus stacking is something i've wanted to learn and this is the best video i've come across on the subject.
Thanks Jon,really appreciate it. I’m pleased it was helpful 😊 I stayed away from Photoshop for a while too when I first started but with a bit of practice it got easier 😅 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment mate 👍👍👍
Steve that was great mate. Sadly I only have Lightroom mobile which doesn’t do the stacking 😢
Thanks mate, you need to treat yourself then 😂
