The stack was done using Nikon raw images, allowing Helicon Focus to perform the raw conversion.
When the raw files are converted to TIFFs first by Photoshop and then fed to Helicon Focus as TIFF files the halos all but disappear.
So, in the future I'll convert to tiff first before using HF.

Halo
I've been unable to stack this without a halo appearing. Using method A, radius 3, smoothing 1.
Other methods B,C lead to more halo and some ghosting.
Lighting the images deep in the stack better helped some.
96 images in stack
Any suggestions?
Second image is 100% crop to show halos better

Red triangle on output icon
I assume this is some sort of error indicator but I am unable to find any details. Can you direct me to an explanation?
Thanks

HF upgrade compatible with MacOS 10.5.8?
I'm running HF 4.2.1 under Mac OS 10.5.8. I don't expect to upgrade to 10.6.x or 10.7.x in teh near future because of other software issues unrelated to HF. My question is this: I have put HF on the shelf for about 2 years because of unresolved RAW file issues. Today I decided to try upgrading HF an...

Re: D300 NEF problems
Another observation is that I've now found that some D300 NEF files can be imported at apparently full resolution while other D300 NEFs seem to be imported at thumbnail resolution.
I'll include one of each in the upload.

Re: D300 NEF problems
The page says that "Mac OS X Leopard provides system-level support for digital camera RAW format" and that the Nikon d300 is "Supported by Mac OS X v10.5.2 or later". I don't have problems opening and processing D300 NEF files in Adobe Camera Raw nor in Picasa. So is there someth...

D300 NEF problems
I'm running Helicon Focus 4.2.1 on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8. HF works fine with JPEGs but processing NEF yields an image that is very low resolution and is processed in literally seconds as opposed to the minutes a similar JPEG stack takes. It's as tho HF is processing thumbnails rather than th...
