Focus stacking of four images: In Lightroom, process all images in RAW, crop and align identically as close as reasonable (to compensate for misalignment due to breeze movement). With all images selected in Lightroom Library Grid View (G), right-click "Edit in" and choose "Open as Layers in Photoshop...".
In Photoshop, highlight all layers and from the Edit menu select "Auto-Align Layers" (default "Auto" for Projection) and click "OK". from the Edit menu select "Auto Blend Layers...", choose "Stack Images" (default "Seamless Tones and Colors" and "Content Aware Fill Transparent Areas" checkboxes selected).
The more layers you do, the more patience required for each step. It can take a few seconds to several minutes depending on your processor and memory.
