+ | There are a couple of other resources that will help in dealing with motion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First, learn about the differences between PMax and DMap. There's a quick summary at [[:stacker:docs:faqlist#what_is_the_difference_between_pmax_and_dmap|"What is the difference between PMax and DMap?]]. In general, DMap is more tolerant of subject motion, though it may require adjusting a couple of parameters. That aspect is outlined at [[:stacker:docs:faqlist#how_should_i_choose_those_dmap_settings|"How should I choose those DMap settings"]] and in more detail in the tutorial [[:stacker:docs:tutorials:tutorial003|"How To Use DMap"]]. | ||

+ | Second, learn how to detect & confirm subject motion in the first place. See for example [[:stacker:docs:faqlist#how_can_i_detect_movement_in_my_stack|How Can I Detect Movement In My Stack?]]. Similar techniques can be used while you're in the process of retouching, as shown in the video tutorials [[:stacker:docs:videotutorials:retouching001:index|"Introduction to Retouching"]] and [[:stacker:docs:videotutorials:retouching002:index|"Advanced Retouching"]]. | ||

- | Other times it's best to just methodically step focus from foreground to background, or vice versa. In that case, you might like to use a focus-stacking calculator like **FocusStacker**, by [[http://www.georgedouvos.com/douvos/OptimumCS-Pro%3B_TrueDoF-Pro%3B_FocusStacker.html|georgedouvos.com]]. It's an iPad & iPhone app that interactively calculates focus distances based on your lens and scene. Alternatively, you can use the precomputed tables **[[:stacker:docs:tables:landscapes|HERE]]** to do essentially the same thing. | + | Other times it's best to just methodically step focus from foreground to background, or vice versa.
