Problems with <strong>Focus</strong> <strong>Stacking</strong><br />

Photoshops’s crop marks<br />

Normal Align Marks<br />

Notice the marks on all four edges <strong>of</strong><br />

this photo. <strong>The</strong>y look like indentations.<br />

You will find these on almost every<br />

stacked photo from Photoshop and they<br />

are the result <strong>of</strong> the program’s aligning<br />

function as it positions layer over layer<br />

and forces them to line up.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y can take many forms and aside<br />

from the indentation-like marks, you <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

will also have blurred or out-<strong>of</strong>-focus<br />

areas running along the border. Totally<br />

normal. You just have to crop them out.<br />
