That made it. It's been awhile since I did a focus stack, will see how it goes.

That close image is LOVELY!

Sorry about that. Hopefully this makes it.

    I'm curious to see that I can do with it, but we're missing the

    I tried. The results are not impressive. Here's the link to a
    google drive folder with the input and a few outputs.

    close.tif and .jpg is the up close image.   far.tif and .jpg is
    the far image. I used the tif files.

    simple.tif is the result of just doing the simple interface.
    Given that the camera was on a tripod it sure seemed to have cut
    out a lot.

    advanced.tif is the result of doing the advanced interface. I
    have no idea why it twisted the images, didn't leave me with a
    square image and still cut out a lot.

    try-lens.tif is the result of using the advanced interface to
    load the files and decrease the fov for the near image. I just
    guessed. I then used the simple interface to align and stitch the
    images together with the focus stacking. I did use the panorama
    editor or whatever it's called to get the image square. While
    this is the best version, there are still a lot of shadows around
    the trees from what I assume is the blurry part of the trees from
    the near image getting pulled into the far image. Is there an
    obvious fix for this?

    Clearly, I have no idea how to use the advanced interface but the
    simple one just doesn't work for these photos. Is there something
    that describes what the simple interface does at the advanced
    level, as a way to learn this interface? So maybe I could start
    there and then be able to ask some slightly more intelligent
    questions.

    Thanks

        Hi Matt, yes Hugin will let you use a different angle of view
        for each shot. Then when it aligns the images it will
        calculate this angle of view for you.

        So in the Photos tab, right-click on either of the photos and
        create a 'new lens' (this tells Hugin not to link lens
        settings). Then, also in the Photos tab, Optimise > Positions
        and View, and re-optimise the alignment.

        Fell free to share your photos or results.

            I'm new with using hugin. I'm using 2024.0.1 with the
            simple interface. I have two photos taken with a 85mm
            prime lens. Both photos were of mostly the same thing. In
            the foreground is a bunch of icicles hanging off a roof
            and in the rear a hundred yards away is a grove of aspen
            trees with no leaves. This seems like a really hard
            problem because there's nothing in focus in both images.

            Using the simple interface I loaded the two photos,
            aligned them using the default and created the panorama
            with the focus stacked option. The alignment is partly
            correct in that it figured out that the two images are
            slightly rotated and shifted with respect to each other
            but what it didn't figure out is that this lens creates a
            bit of focus breathing, or the focal length of the lens
            changes a bit based on focal distance. So, the image
            focused on the foreground has a slightly higher focal
            length. The result is that the background is in focus and
            some of the icicles in the center are okay but the ones
            far from the center are pulled from the far image and
            just blurry. I changed the interface to advanced and, the
            best I can tell is that there are no control points. I
            don't know. I tried the advanced option from the start
            and got control points but the result was no better. I
            read the tutorial referenced in the help section under
            focus stacking by Pat David and the result of the
            alignment was "After control points pruning reference
            images has no control points"
