Helicon focus stacking, anyone use it for landscapes?

I just noticed this software the other day, but was looking at it from a macro perspective. Using it for landscapes does sound interesting. I suppose you could just use a wide angle and stop down a lot if you don't need *everything* in focus.

That's all I've done is notice it...

Why not just download it and give it a try? I intend to give it a try for macro work...

There is an article in the newest Outdoor Photography about this very thing.

There's another focus stacking program by the name of CombineZM that is for PC only...highly regarded and its free as well. The Helicon software is for the Mac OS, and will cost about $80 per year (or thereabouts) for a license. It's downloadable, and has a thirty-day trial period.
