I have seen at least a couple of others that apparently did use photoshop. That seems like much more work though. In Oregon last year I happened upon a gallery where a guy had done this with some irises, with a black background. Evidently it was 150 shots. The result was just beyond belief. Like Avatar, but still life. Thanks for this great writeup. I hope to make time one of these days to try this out. This seems like a neat way to create unique images.

For close in subjects like this flower, Helicon Focus seems to handle the change in magnification at different focus distances while Photoshop does not.
