Im curious how exactly I’d photostack with a canon t5?

It could be useful to combine photos in general.

If you google "focus stacking," there's tons of info out there on techniques and software.

For macro, what I usually do is lock focus and shoot bursts while I gently sway away from the subject.  This gives you nice slices of the subject.

You can then either combine them using software, or you can just select an individual frame to use (that has the best focal point).

At the most basic level, you can simply use the (Photoshop, or other) Clone Stamp tool to copy over something like a critter's eye, like I did with this image...

Cloned only the (in-focus) eye from one frame into the other.

Sometimes this is all you need.
