Hi folks
I'm currently taking sharp wide feild pics with my canon350eos, using my eye to focus. Will dslrfocus give me better focus? and is there another software program that can focus assist as well as image processing?

Thats what i dont get as well. How do you focus with DSLR Focus? is there a live screen? or does it constantly take a few second shots and you focus it that way?

DSLR focus advantage is that it takes short exposures of a time frame nominated by yourself EG... 2 second exposures...but what it does it gives you some stats and graphs to give you precise focus...something that is impossible to do visualy no mater how good you think you may be.

So yes you still take some short exposure's which you could just do manualy but you get specs to back that information up.

I should take a screeny next time.

If by "using my eye to focus" you mean looking through the view finder, then a distinct advantage of something like DSLRFocus is when you deal with faint objects that are hard to view through the view finder, and moving back and forth between a bright star and it is impractical.

I find I only rarely get a perfect focus by looking through the viewfinder, I need DSLR to get the last little bit.
