Hi Folks,
Recently, I tried a stacking program by Zerene hoping it might be easier than what I do in CS6 for stacking. But after using the program a few times it just didn't hold up well under the 100% zoom mode- wouldn't pass the reviewers.
Anyone else try this program? If so, your thoughts as well?

I looked into it a couple of years ago but it didn't process DNG's....had to run either Tiffs or jpegs through it....if that has changed I may take another look.
However, I've been using Helicon for the past few years and am very happy with the results.....they even pass SS inspections.....

Nope, they still require TIF or Jpeg. I will look into the Helicon program. Thanks

I have tried multiple softwares, and I think Zerene is the best.

When I was looking I tried Zerene and Helicon. I couldn't get the trial version of Zerene to work on my Mac so went with Helicon Focus and it mostly works great. Almost all of my isolations are stacks and they get through (most of the) SS reviewers with no problem.

I did a few with Zerene a while ago. Usually there were a few spots that needed fixing afterwards, but they did pass inspection after some clean up. I never really got to a workflow that I liked or seemed worth the trouble for microstock though.
My understanding was that it is really optimized for large stacks (10's to over 100 images) of truly tiny things.
