-First, learn about the differences between PMax and DMap.  There'​s a quick summary at [[:​stacker:​docs:​faqlist#​what_is_the_difference_between_pmax_and_dmap|"​What is the difference between PMax and DMap?​]]. ​ In general, DMap is more tolerant of subject motion, though it may require adjusting a couple of parameters. ​ That aspect is outlined at [[:​stacker:​docs:​faqlist#​how_should_i_choose_those_dmap_settings|"​How should I choose those DMap settings"​]] and in more detail in the tutorial [[:​stacker:​docs:​tutorials:​tutorial003|"​How To Use DMap"​]].+First, learn about the differences between PMax and DMap.  There'​s a quick summary at [[:​stacker:​docs:​faqlist#​what_is_the_difference_between_pmax_and_dmap|"​What is the difference between PMax and DMap?"]].  In general, DMap is more tolerant of subject motion, though it may require adjusting a couple of parameters. ​ That aspect is outlined at [[:​stacker:​docs:​faqlist#​how_should_i_choose_those_dmap_settings|"​How should I choose those DMap settings"​]] and in more detail in the tutorial [[:​stacker:​docs:​tutorials:​tutorial003|"​How To Use DMap"​]].

-Other times it's best to just methodically step focus from foreground to background, or vice versa. ​ In that case, you might like to use a focus-stacking calculator like **FocusStacker**,​ by [[http://​www.georgedouvos.com/​douvos/​OptimumCS-Pro%3B_TrueDoF-Pro%3B_FocusStacker.html|georgedouvos.com]]. It's an iPhone & iPad app that interactively calculates focus distances based on your lens and scene. ​ Alternatively,​ you can use the precomputed tables **[[:​stacker:​docs:​tables:​landscapes|HERE]]** to do essentially the same thing.+Other times it's best to just methodically step focus from foreground to background, or vice versa. ​ In that case, you might like to use a focus-stacking calculator like **FocusStacker**,​ by [[http://​www.georgedouvos.com/​focus-stacker-overview.html|georgedouvos.com]].
