Macro and Focus Stacking
Working with Sony A7rIII and 90mm macro oss. On small subjects, even at high f-stops, depth of field is very apparent. Would focus stacking help? And if so should I just let RC sort the raws straight from camera, or use focus stacking software?
Using software, to me, seems like it would distort the image to an untrue form, much like sharping or noise reduction would.
Googling the subject, seems most use stacking software, but shouldn't RC be able to just use the best parts from each image?

I've uploaded my first test with Focus Stacking to sketchfab. I had to get the file under 50mb to uplaod, so it's quite decimated.

Also attached is one of the stacked photos. Not original size, I scaled it down to upload.

The results are far better. It's more work, but can be automated, though not cheap. I bought a rail from www.wemacro and was still able to use the orangemonkie foldio 360 in turntable mode to incrementally rotate at a specified degree.
I think the results make it worthwhile, and moreso, for objects less than 30mm, it's probably essential to get the best results.
