Photoshop.

CS3 allegedly has a function whereby you take lots of photos of the same object with a different point of focus. CS3 will then merge them for you into one photo which is all in focus.

Can CS2 or GIMP do something similar? And I don't know anyone who uses GIMP, so is GIMP any good at what it does?

Unrelated photo I took.

Same can be achieved by shooting stopped down to f/8 or smaller. What Adobe meant for that option is to be able to select where to be focused in PS if you used this camera. I know it's a useful feature though for macro photography because of the limited DOF. Look for focus bracketing.

There is a pretty decent freeware program to do this, its called focus stacking. Generally used for macro work as stated above. Prog is called CombineZM, havn't used it personally but it came recommended by Lord V. on POTN I think, whos a bit of a macrofag.

Cheers, I've been looking at the canon MP-E 65 so it could become very relevant at some point.
