Helicon focus stacking download for lr photoshop

#Helicon focus stacking download for lr photoshop series

I am open to learning and perhaps someone with a better understanding of either program can come up with ways that flip the results or show that they are more equivalent than I found.ДЄlso, I am very aware that the subjects moving in the frame wildly violates the basic assumptions/conditions/expectations of either program, so this is very much an 'unfair' stress test! But (a) this was the point of the test, and (b) these violations are very common in landscape photography. These were the methods for each that performed best out of the box with the default settings - I did not understand (yet) either program to do anything with any of options/parameters (smoothing etc.). )Д«elow are side-by-side images of Helicon Focus Method B depth map with default settings (on the left) and Zerene Stacker PMax (on the right), followed by my observations. For the results with the correct settings, see here. This, of course, makes most of the following invalid. Slight adjustments to the Zerene Stacker default settings: (1) DMap, with Radius = 1/100 to 1/200 of the pixel width and (2) disabling extended dynamic range preservation fixed the ghosting and washed out contrast, respectively, I note below. After a little bit of reading, I found that As I found out, though, these do not work well when there is subject movement AND result in washed out contrast.

( EDIT: The following series of comparisons were made using Zerene Stacker's default settings. I took a series of frames and finally chose two for the stacking, one close and one far. Wind whipping through the scene continuously, and everything that was not a rock or the ground was whipping back and forth. but that might mean waiting forever.ДЄs an example, here is a hillside on Anzo-Borrego. Sure, you can wait for those moments when the wind dies. You can do everything right - tripod, MLU, etc., but on a windy day, things are just going to be moving all over the place. The thing about landscapes that is a major issue and much less so in macro is control over the wind. I am currently evaluating these two for landscape photography. Seen quite a few comparisons of these two, but every one I've found has been focused (so to speak) on macro photography. Helicon Focus Compared to Zerene Stacker for (Windy) Landscapes.I've checked everything that I know of, but obviously something is interfering and I don't know what that is. If someone could let me know what I should check in LR to make sure that it's set up correctly that would be great. I've presented this problem to Helicon as well. I don't have knowledge about how it was set up to coordinate with LR, which seems to be the jest of my personal issue in resolving the problem. I have the Helicon Focus app installed but I haven't recently used it. I sincerely doubt it's an Apple Photos issue. In the past the metadata has transferred as well, exactly as I've specified in LR. jpg files, which I often forward to Apple Photos. LR is set up send Topaz the RAW files with LR updates. My camera (Nikon D500) is set up to collect large, RAW files. Prior to downloading Helicon (and to date, I believe) my set-ups include: It appears to me that I am either no longer capturing RAW files, or I'm capturing the RAW and it's being converted to something else (DNG?) prior to the above. When I use Topaz Denoise, I received a message that stated a particular function can only happen when I start with a RAW file (other functions worked fine). When I export from LR to Apple Photos, existing metadata is not transferred with the photos.Дў. However even when not using the Helicon Focus app, there are two symptoms:ДЎ. I believe Helicon converts all photos *it uses in it's app* to DNG. Perhaps it's a coincidence but I doubt it. I downloaded Helicon Focus and I am now having issues with LR.
