This video presents a brief tutorial on how to take a high definition focus-stacked digital picture of an insect specimen on a pin and, using Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, sharpen, remove the pin, eliminate lint and dust, tweak the color, and set the contrast and lightness settings.  Examples of finished specimens are located at http://www.flickr.com/people/usgsbiml/. Many thanks to all the people who have been involved in developing our photographic system.
