We are back though and everything should run smoothly now. New servers. Updated domains. And new owners. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
Zerene Stacker is “focus stacking” software designed specifically for challenging macro subjects and discerning photographers. Of course it works great with simpler subjects, close-ups, and landscapes also!
Zerene Stacker has several advantages over other commonly used stacking programs:
• 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
• Retouching supported by all versions, even at the lowest price
• 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.
• Fully utilizes modern multi-core processors and multi-processor computers
Used by:
• Professional photographers
• Individual enthusiasts
• Government & industrial research labs
• Universities
• Museums
• Schools
• People like you!
For these subjects:
• Landscapes
• Architecture
