Another FSM article

Feb 16, 2009 10 Replies

There's another FSM article (?) about using software to combine a series of images taken at different focus ranges into one in-focus image. Good for model close-ups. Anybody remember what issue that's in? Relatively recent I think.


I think it was in Model Railroader magazine. I don't have link to the article but I use the software:

There are also several other similar applications and it seems that the big players liek Adobe are finally coming out with their own versions of this type of stacking software.

Thanks for the link. What I saw wasn't in Model Railroader. It was in something I bought, (scale stuff), and have since lost in the archive. archive=piles of magazines

On second thought I think that I did see a similar article in FSM. I subscribe to both and I suppose that I just got confused. So, it seems that both magazines had a feature article on the same subject.

Oh well....... It's tax time which equates to a general organize, file/toss operation. With luck I'll come across it.

To narrow your search I'm pretty sure it was published within the last

12 months.

FSM has searchable index online...

I know - in this case I tried it but it was totally useless (at least using my search terms). I tried "focus", "depth of field", "Helicon" and several other terms with no luck. See if you can find that article...

What he said...... FSM's heart is in the right place but the archive search is pretty fuzzy...

Could the article you're looking for be "Photography: Get focused! See how software can clarify your model photos" in the November 2008 issue? (I don't have that issue, and the article isn't online, so I don't know whether it says anything about combining photos.)

I think the reason FSM's online search is less than helpful is that most of the articles aren't online, so they're only indexed by title, author, one-line description, and general category.

Bet you that's it. Now I have a target at least. Thanks for the pointer.
