Description

Stay Focused provides amazing, ground-breaking photography capabilities that allow photographers to express themselves in ways never before possible.

With Stay Focused, photographers can precisely control what is in and out of focus in their images. This is possible through a technique that is known as "focus stacking" or "depth of field merging" where multiple images are captured with different focus distances. Stay Focused automatically takes the photographs, known as a stacks, which can then be shared or processed using traditional image editing or focus stacking software on desktop or laptop computers. During processing, the areas that are in-focus in each image can be merged into a single image with a greater focal range than would otherwise be possible.

Stay Focused also provides access to automated focus stacking services over the network, securely sending the stacks to our servers for processing (available via In-App Purchase). With automated processing, stacks are merged in a matter of minutes into a single image that combines the best, in-focus regions of each of the individual images.

Tips
• Stabilizing the iPhone either by a tripod or other means will provide the best results
• The focus-stacking technique is best suited for stationary subjects (or subjects with minimal movement)
• Network access is required to process any focus stacks
• Automated focus stacking services are available via In-App Purchase
• Automated focus stacking takes several minutes to complete
