As I said in the OP I don't do a lot of Focus Stacking and I thought that although I liked Helicon Focus the idea of having to pay every year kind of put me off that one.

Quote:Hi, Many thanks Phil, I actually already own Affinity Photo (replaced Photoshop) and never gave that a thought, since posting the question have looked at CombineZP and will have a look at that although it does seem to be quite an old software and not supported anymore (maybe wrong there but cannot see anything on updates). I keep meaning to try out the stacking in Affinity but every time I seem to get side tracked and put the image through Helicon, I need to get organised and run a proper comparison. With Helicon I often find that one method will render parts of an image better than another and then you simply combine the two.

I believe you are right in that Alan Hadley is no longer supporting CombineZP, somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember him making an announcement to that effect, I would still download it, you could well find that certain subjects will render better in either Affinity or CombineZ.

Quote:CombineZP may not have been updated for a while but it works well, produces results better than Photoshop and best of all it is a free download, we used to use the slightly earlier CombineZM with no major problems, the only minor niggle was that on the very odd occasion there would be a slight colour shift in the centre of the image. Hi, Many thanks Phil, I actually already own Affinity Photo (replaced Photoshop) and never gave that a thought, since posting the question have looked at CombineZP and will have a look at that although it does seem to be quite an old software and not supported anymore (maybe wrong there but cannot see anything on updates). for best results with any of them you still rely on good steady support and consistent and correct spacing of each stack image. Helicon (which I use and was a beta tester for) and Zerene, both options are very good indeed but quite costly.ДЇinally there is a newcomer on the block in Affinity Photo, although I have yet to try it I have heard nothing but good about the program itself and no bad reports on the stacking, the price is good too.ДЇor occasional use I would try out CombineZP, after all you have nothing to loose, if you find you are doing a little more then look at one of the other options.

The better options are the paid for ones. you also have Hugin alongside Enfuse (That option seems to be complicated to me, I like simple) There is another free option called Picolay, but I have no experience of it so cannot comment although I have not seen much praise for it. But it does not matter what you shoot вЂ“ landscapes or flowers, animals or still-life вЂ“ Helicon Focus will make your images stand out.CombineZP may not have been updated for a while but it works well, produces results better than Photoshop and best of all it is a free download, we used to use the slightly earlier CombineZM with no major problems, the only minor niggle was that on the very odd occasion there would be a slight colour shift in the centre of the image. Nowadays micro photography, close-ups, jewelry and product photography became truly dependent on focus stacking. Take several shots at different focus distances instead of just one, and Helicon Focus will quickly and smartly combine the stack into a fully focused image. With focus stacking software you can make your usual camera render results that could not be achieved even with a classic tilt-shift lens.

Professional photographers and enthusiasts seeking to keep up with the trend take advantage of focus stacking to create eye-catching images. Today it's hard to imagine macro or micro photography without focus stacking technique. Plain single shots are bit by bit giving place to improved and more sophisticated technologies like HDR and EDoF.

Now it's the advanced technology that makes the difference. The digital revolution of the last few years made professional photo hardware widely available and affordable. Adjust settings, hold down the shutter button to shoot a stack and process it in Helicon Focus to achieve a perfectly sharp image. Mounted on the camera as a conventional extension tube, Helicon FB Tube automates focus bracketing in single shot and continuous shooting modes. We are happy to introduce our new product that has no analogues on the modern photography accessories market - Helicon FB Tube.
