Here?s my first attempt at focus stacking with large images:

Shot with a Fujifilm GFX100. 50 images show in ?focus bracketing? mode, 
electronic shutter.

I only had a few minutes to work before the breeze came up.

There are issues in a few places but I?ll figure out the software Real Soon 
Now. <grin>

The stacking was done with Helicon Focus. It?s an excellent example of how 
to use the GPU effectively! It allows the output to be saved as a DNG file 
which allows greater latitude in development.

In Lightroom I used the ETERNA color profile. Many of the possible profiles, 
included the default Adobe profile, were simply too vivid compared to the 
flower I actually saw. That seems to be a trend for the handling of this 
camera by Adobe - they must have been needing more vibrancy or something.

Comments and thoughts most welcome.
