Thanks Moose. I have a bad habit of NOT cropping my shots. The helicon focus 
DNG file output shows more on top but bringing it into PS, PS somehow is 
cropping the top. I have seen this happen before. The embedded raw preview is 
also cropped.

I went back to Helicon focus and saved as a Tiff file and the extra on the top 
imported into PS. Helicson Focus automatically crops but it still sees more 
pixels than what PS and camera raw reports? How is HF able to get more pixels 
out of the raw file?

I also noticed a halo effect and Helicon Focus suggest increasing the radius, 
which helped (changed from 2 to 20). But there are still some artifacts - note 
the bottom of the left flower.

Here is the reprocessed file with some camera raw clarity boost. Note that I 
did not add anything extra on the top as Helicon Focus finds those pixels that 
photoshop discards. ??? I am assuming the camera embeds image size and HF is 
just ignoring that. How can one see the raw file the way HF does? And has me 
wondering what I actually saw in the viewfinder.
