Hello![Waving hand: light skin tone :wave_tone1: 👋🏻](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f44b-1f3fb.png)
This is a 40 shot stack at f/5.6 1/50s ISO200
Taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1X and M.Zuiko 60mm 2.8 macro lens.
How did my workflow looked like?
Well, after i take my pictures, I use Helicon Focus to stack the images, I stack them twice. Once in the B method and once in the C method, then I stack those 2 together...
When that is done, i import that photo into Photoshop to clean it up and remove any so called "ghosting" due to the stacking software.
I remove unwanted artifacts from the image using the healing tool.
After this procces i import the image to Lightroom, where i do my cropping, sharpening, color and light adjustments... I slap my watermark on the image and adjust the size and resolution if I post it on socials so their scaling software doesn't mess with my image too much...
I am just getting started with focus stacking and I know I still have many improvements to make.
Let me know what you think about both my workflow and final result.
Thank you for listening![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
Kind regards, Randy
