Merging/Blending interior pic from focal shift and different exposition pictures

Hi All!

So I thought it woujld be smart to merge 3 pics not only with different sharpnes but also different exposition. So I did - and the easiest way to merge it was to adjust layer opacity and fill to get best results. But in my case - alhou ok, it looks bit hazy. Saw some videos on youtube but didn't really get the jist of how would be the easiest way to merge those 3 pics into one. Objective is - to have sharpnes in every stage of the pics, as much as details, saturation and all. I can send those pics if it's possible here as well if needed. Ps 22.1.1

I did use auto align layers already. But when trying to use auto blend layers - there is no joy. Probably focus breathing or something makes it hard for the right algorithm .

Cheers

Thanks. That looks better then my leyesr approach, less foggy, but still not there yet i think. I still have problem in understanding masking and using masking - as this is what you used there no? Cheers


The Masking for the two similar images is automatic (Edit > Auto-Blend Layers), the Masking for the dark exposure is manual. (plus a Blend If-setting)
