Focus Stacking?

[scorpion_tyr]

So I wasn't planning on it, but I accidentally KO'd a grasshopper just a little while ago so he was pretty still for a while so I got some macro shots that should work for focus stacking... only problem is I've never done it before.

I've got Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 and Gimp. What's the quickest and easiest way to do this?

Thanks!
