Jewels - 2 rings
Posted: 01.04.2020 00:40
Canon EOS R, 1/60 sec. f./8 @ 100 ISO, L-JPEG, EF 100 macro 1:1. Light by a single studio flash w/honeycomb over a tube light diffuser, 135 slices stack, done semi manually, using Canon Camera Connect and it's manual microfocus control. Post-production on MAC & PS 2020.
I test a blend of the same stack sequence on PS 2020 and Canon DPP4. Helicon Focus come out as clear winner, with awersome super fast process time and better blend precision, especially on rings overlay parts, very difficult to blend properly, even manually. Editing to fix those little imperfections was quite fast on Helicon, not more then 10/15 min. The only negative point, Helicon do not support RAW cr3 format. For very high quality images or big formats, is a real problem. The only walkaround is via DNG, but process time and workflow speed suffer.
