This aphid is a composite of 21 focus planes shot with a Canon MPE-65 Macro lens at 5X with a Canon 7D.

Thanks Stas.

Thanks Stas,
I am uploading a file named _MG_8761_DxO.tif in a folder named Bristol.

Here is a grass seed head. Initially shot at f/11 and had many aberrations. This was shot as a stack of 61 focus planes at f/13 and the aberrations were much reduced. Still getting the hang of the retouching tool, but its ability to identify the proper stack element in the context of the composite i...

My workflow for Helicon Focus has been to: 1. Shoot the stack in Canon raw. 2. Load the raw files onto my computer. 3. Convert the raw files to 16 bit tiffs with DXO Optics Pro. 4. Process the converted 16 bit tiffs in Helicon Focus The Parameters tab displays some info about each image in the stack...

If I remove an item from queue the button to run the queue is grayed out. I have to close and reopen the queue interface box to have an active run button again.

Thanks Stas,
Always went straight to the Canon selection under Shooting. Didn't see the options just under shooting itself. This should work much better.

Thanks Stas, I completely missed it. Will have to give it a try. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I am shooting with a Canon 7D using an external 580EX II flash mounted on the hotshoe. Is there a way to increase the time duration between shots to allow the flash to recharge. Every other shot has a dark frame as the flash is only firing every other time.

Stas, Thank you for your interest in this issue. Adding a folder of images to create a stack took 172 seconds to create a queue task consisting of 155 images. Changing parameters for the same group of images took an additional 172 seconds. There did not seem to be an efficiency gain to simply change...

Thanks Stas, you guys are very responsive. It is appreciated.

Thanks Stas,
This is a fine program. I appreciate that you guys are always improving it.

Would it be possible to add time interval shooting to Remote? One possibility would be just a basic triggering of the shutter at specified intervals, a second possibility would be to repeat a focus stack at specified intervals, and the third would be to run a focus stack with exposure bracketing at ...

I ran across this discussion on the 'AF Calibrator" function that mentions that an automated micro-adjustment feature used to exist in Helicon Remote: http://www.pointsinfocus.com/2010/01/auto-focus-micro-adjustments-using-live-view/ Seems like an incredibly useful feature. Are there any plans ...

Stas, No flash was as used. Fewer exposure bracket shots may have worked but the tree was very bright and I wanted a +/-4 stop bracket to tame the highlights. It may have been overkill, but the Remote program was up to the task. On the +4 stop side I did have to adjust the shadow exposure away from ...
