| HeliconFocus is a program that creates
one completely focused image from several partially focused images by
combining the focused areas. The program is designed for macrophotography and optical microscope image processing to cope with the shallow depth-of-field problem. Helicon Focus also aligns images as objects often change their size and position from shot to shot. This function is especially important for macrophotography.
