I didn't find the learning curve for Zerene Stacker to be steep, particularly given the excellent tutorials that Rik linked you to. I've been happy with it ever since, though I can't fairly comment on current versions of its competitors. (Standard disclaimer: I wrote that one so I'm biased.)Ī few years ago, I tried then-current versions of all the stacking applications I could find, and chose Zerene Stacker. It works much less well for complex geometries like bristly bugs, so I don't use it much.īy the way, if you're asking in general about focus stacking software, then I'll suggest taking a look also at Zerene Stacker. The 3D function of Helicon Focus works well for simple smooth geometries like the faces of Ray's coins. For me recovery has been a simple matter of just re-registering on the same computer, using the same activation code they sent me at purchase back in 2008. I too have had a bit of trouble lately with Helicon Focus losing track of its license key, resulting in watermarks and eventual expiration. If high quality is your goal, stay away from that version. HF Lite is attractive because of its low price, but it's crippled by the absence of retouching tools. My license is effectively Premium, because I purchased separately Helicon Focus Pro and Helicon Remote.
