- Welcome to another gimp tutorial.
In this tutorial I am going to demonstrate how to focus stack images in Gimp.
If you don't know, focus stacking is a post-production technique where photos captured at slightly different focus distances are merged together to create a final image that’s completely sharp.
Thanks

Great explanation for focus stacking but what I don't understand is how you get three perfectly registered images of a live animal at different focus points 🤔
There is a free plug-in called G'MIC-Qt that automatically aligns layered imaged. Also you could use the free program Hugin.
And most lenses also have focus breathing where the images go out of register.
At first, I didn't like your video but a second watching showed me I was wrong! I now appreciate it and thank you for its excellence! 👍👍👍❤
Simple, rather quick and effective. NICE.
Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
So focus stacking is basically just exposing focused parts of different images? Correct me if I have misunderstood please
That's right. When we mainly take photos using auto focus and also shoot in continues mood then we don't always have control on focus. But we can fix that issue in post using focus stacking technic. Thanks
@@LivingImage this is great! Thank you for your effort to teach us newbies :)
@@HamsterLoad you are you welcome. I'm glad to help.
Thank You!
You are welcome
I already knew how to do this, but well-done video, but this does not take into account the different zoom, different focus usually means different zoom. I've not seen anything about an add on that does this automatically, I know photoshop has a focus stacking feature that does this if I am not mistaken.
Thank you for your feedback. You are right, I haven’t done anything advanced in this tutorial, but I shall try to do in the future. Yes, photoshop has the focus stacking features.
If you want to combine two images shot at different focal lengths you can use the same layer mask principles shown here
Good video, but can you explain how to make the layers into one image that we could then edit/print/post etc?
Thank you. I'm not totally clear what you have mentioned. Could you please explain it further? I would be happy to create a separate tutorial.
@@LivingImage Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm new to Gimp. When you finished editing your photo, you didn't explain how to save the image in a format that is usable. So that you can post it or have it printed etc. I realize now that one just needs to export the image as jpeg or other format. Thx!
@@ryancrosbie6270 you can right click on the topmost layer and select 'merge visible' or 'flatten image'. Then process as needed and export.
@@ryancrosbie6270 The easiest way is to choose file>export and export as a JPEG (just choose the jpg file extension). Gimp will automatically combine all layers and masks.
Layer>Merge down
Thanks a lot brother
You are welcome!
I'm a beginner and was having the hardest time trying to figure out why my brush wasn't revealing the bottom layer. Turns out that I had the background and foreground colors reversed (not sure if this is the correct terminology), but as soon as I flipped them, voila! Just putting it out there in case anyone else ran into the same issue.
I dont get the idea about brushing different layers, you brushed mouth on on first amd third pictures, 2 times.. It doesnt make sense, can you explain more detailed what you do while brushing, and at the end can you show how to save a picture?
Uncheck the box that inverts the layer mask.
Very difficult with 20 images...
Sorry, but the photos do not show a good example of focus stacking. So very little difference as to be almost imperceptible. I would suggest more images with different focus points that actually permit one to see clearly the differences.😐
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the images may not be ideal for focus stacking, but I wanted to show the process. I'll keep it in mind for future videos. Thanks again! 😊
Distracting Music!
Thank you for your feedback.
Can't concentrate your voice with that terrible audio you used so stopped watching ! Shame
Thank you for your feedback. Will try to improve the audio and avoid background music.
Thanks for making this. Please start sooner, its 1:18 where the video finally starts, also you did not show us the results next to the old image.
