colinbm Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Andrea, which stacking software are these tutorials based around please ? Link to comment
dabateman Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 They seem to compare Helicon with Zerene. Zerene seems to be the winner in many images with less noise. Link to comment
dabateman Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Picolay is free, I still need to play more with it. But was recently updated in May 2021: http://www.picolay.de/index.html Link to comment
colinbm Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I had used Helicon in the past & settled on Zerene about 10 years ago/ I do need to revisit this again. Link to comment
dabateman Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 This tutorial video is good and kind of funny in my near sleepy state. Link to comment
