Hi, I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop since I stepped into this field. Sometimes the finished stacked photo got blurred parts for no reasons or artifacts shown in the photo.
This morning I happened to find this little spood having a snack so I took a series of 53 images, handheld Manual Focus. I tried Helicon Focus and it processed my images to a final stacked one in less than a minute, while Adobe Photoshop took even nearly 7 minutes of my life but it sucks…
The 1st image is from Helicon Focus
The 2nd image is from Adobe Photoshop
You can note the differences right away!
I stop using Adobe Photoshop for focus stacking, now I use Helicon Focus

Hi, unfortunately there are no images in your post, but thank you for sharing your positive experience!
Was there an issue attaching the images? They might have been too large.

Oh, I see my mistake, for some reason I assumed you wanted to actually show the pictures so I thought because there aren't any in your message - something didn't work. Sorry for the confusion. Your description is quite clear on its own.
But if you ever do want to share a picture in the future, you can find the "Attachments" tab just below the reply form and click "Add files".
