I don't think I've ever used Photoshop for focus stacking but, after
looking at the price of Zerene stacker I think I'll learn the Photoshop way.
ps: I think the first image in the first link could be done full frame
with a single shot at f/11. Or, if I'm misjudging the distance to the
tree trunk then certainly one shot with f/16. But it does require that
you know where to focus to make full use of the hyperfocal distance.

suitable for macro shots where total depth of field would be measured in inches. Landscape
is a different kettle of fish.
Same kettle, just slightly different but closely related genus of fish. I've done it a
few times but can be a pain if wind is blowing w/o zerene stacker to easily remove
artifacts---can pick sharpest image and "erase"
the one chosen by the software with very little work. Can so the same in PS of
course. Even stacked a few tilted first with my OM Mirex T-S adapter for Mamiya.
