As with everything in photography there was a difference of opinion about which one people like better just because art is very subjective and what one person likes better is not what someone else likes better. I got quite a few responses and some good comments. No sharpening, no color adjustments, no anything in order for it to be a true test of what the two programs would produce.Īfter creating the two images of this first test I posted them on my two Facebook pages and asked people which program they think did a better job with the stack. For the test, I did no processing work to any of the files either before processing or after creating the composite. After getting copies of two different focus stacking programs - Zerene Stacker and Helicon Focus - I put both of them to the test to see how they compared with each other on the same image. With having an outlet to let others know of the different programs out there, I'm able to get comp copies to then test, compare and let people know what I think of the programs.Ĭase in point here being depth of field focus stacking. As much as I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to photography - I wish we were still with film - I continue to explore some of the different options out there and how it can expand the possibilities of the world of photography to the point that shots that were only a dream a few years ago are easily doable today. These plus all of the different plug-ins and filters available have made post production work a key component of photography. The numbers of and advancements in specialty software programs for working on digital files has exploded in the last several years.
