I had this one ready before yours so I might as well post it. I'll go through my workflow which may be of help.
There is nothing done to this shot at all apart from downsizing and sharpen for web.
Arrage subject or choose shooting angle to best for BG etc. Camera on tripod
Line up camera on subject- check for stray leaves/ objects in back etc. Compose shot finally
Set Camera on 1 sop down. Set metering to centre single point average. Use remote cable release.
Focus to just in front of subject so nothing in focus.
Move lens focus ring a small amount and end up focused behind subject.
Load files into a holding folder on computer.
Check first frame and delete until you come to first one with nearest point in focus.
Go to last shotb in sequence and decide if you want the rear stuff in focus or if youb want some OOF stuff at the back. Delete files accordingly.
Make note of first to last frame. Say 1 to 9
Open combine ZP- click on NEW - to left.
Insert files 1- 9
It will come up with a full frame picture
The top panel will say "Align frames"
Click OK
When another still pic come up- click on "do stack" - and click OK
The final finished shot will appear shortly.
As a matter of interest I have my camera set to medium quality. This is because my PC in this programme takes a long time with the 24 mp,s of the full quality D7001 files.
Note
This shot is straight outb of camera. Nothing done at all. This is my simple method which seems to work, but vI'm affraid I have no knowledge of the PS method.
Hope this helps
