Challenge macro subjects for photographic images by zooming, creating close-up shots and adjusting the view of landscapes. The utility works with standard formats of image files and features settings for the depth of field by processing multiple pictures of the same object.
Zerene Stacker is a “focus stacking” program designed specifically for challenging macro subjects and discerning photographers.
Of course it works great with simpler subjects, close-ups, and landscapes also!
This subject is a common fruit fly, as seen through a 100X microscope. Individual image on the left, stacked result on the right.
Main features:
- Highest quality output images, especially in difficult cases
- Accurate and robust alignment and interpolation
- Advanced stacking algorithms
- Clean handling of hairs and bristles -- no halos or contour lines
- Preserves low contrast detail and avoids "stacking mush" with deep stacks
- Fast and flexible retouching makes it easy to combine the best features of multiple algorithms as well as original frames
- Supports 8- and 16-bit input and output files
- Can generate stereo and 3-D rocking animations from a single stack, even for difficult subjects with structural overlaps and bristles.
- Designed to fully utilize modern multi-core processors and multi-processor computers
- Runs on all major computer systems: Microsoft Windows®, Macintosh OS X®, Linux®.
