skip_wilson Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 <p>What is the current version of CombineZP by Alan Hadley and, being free, what are it's limitations and shortcomings compared to Helicon Focus or Zerene? Does it do a respectable job in focus stacking eg flowers, can it work with RAW files? Some people have said the interface is clunky and old. I'm not sure what the issues are? It would be a program I would only occasionally use. Am I giving up too much by not going with Helicon or Zerene? Thank you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosvanEekelen Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 <p>There seems to be little activity on a CZP update. AFAIK it does not support 16 bit files. I tried it af few years back, the program is not intuitive but the results were quite good, better than CS4 or Helicon Focus. Mind you, in my opinion there is no best stacking software, some programs handle certain files better than others. So in one case CZP may be best, in another one CS4 or program x will give the best results. <br> Other software to look into: Lightroom/Enfuse, Enfuse (GUI), Affinity Photo, others.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
