Overview
Helicon Focus can be used to increase DOF in any situation, though its primary uses are in macro photography, landscape photography and photo-microscopy. Macro photography is close-up Photography; the classical definition is that the Image projected on the "film plane" (i Nature photography refers to a wide range of Photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as Landscapes Wildlife, In macro photography, the DOF is often very small. In order to increase it, Helicon Focus is capable of merging several differently focused images together in order to create one image where the subject is entirely in focus. In landscape photography, where the entire frame is often preferred to be in focus (such as distant clouds and an object of interest in the foreground), Focus can be used to blend photos together in order to create a desired result.
