I recently have been using a photo processing technique called focus stacking. It is difficult to get the entire subject in focus when doing macro photography. The solution is to take multiple photos and then merge all the focused parts of every image. The image editing software, Photoshop, has tools to do this. My camera has an auto focus stacking mode that takes a series of pictures at different focus distances. Later I import all these images into Photoshop to merge them into one in focus image after doing the focus stacking procedure. Here are a few examples of Images that I focus stacked. I plan to do a lot more focus stacking in my future photos.
