The rotation was done by guesswork and it is a wonder that it works at all – but it does and that is encouraging where future experimentation is concerned.

Unfortunately, WordPress won’t let me embed the movie on this page but here is one picture produced using Helicon along with a Helicon parallel stereo and and a red/green anaglyph.The last two photos are an first attempt at creating a true stereo pair by creating two stacks, one head on and the other after rotating the object through a few degrees. Since one of my aims is to produce some 3D macro shots, I used the Helicon 3D option to create a 3D movie. The one difference I noticed in the image quality was that with CombineZP, all the methods produce an edge region that is distorted and you have to crop away – that doesn’t happen with Helicon.

The 3D output could be seen as a bit gimmicky but it is interesting and fun. The images it produces are of much the same quality but the options to ‘fix’ them using the tools Helicon provides appear useful. There are options to create and export a 3D model, and produce an animated movie of the stack.īy comparison with CombineZP, Helicon is fast and easy to use. You can press F9 and up pops that image – copy, clone and erase brushes let you fix errors that result from the stacking process.

The opportunity to play are legion and playing is encouraged by the speed at which Helicon processes the images – a fifty stack image at full resolution (12MP) was parsed in about 60 seconds on my Dell XPS 13 core i7! There are tools that allow you to identify the image in the stack from which the pixels that make up the output come from. You can play with ‘radius’ and ‘smoothing’ to improve the output. It quickly parses your images and produces a result which you can view side-by-side with any of the images in the stack that it was made from. You load a stack, choose one of three methods of combining the images, and press ‘render’. I note that there is an option to pay $30 for a year’s use of the basic version – not too expensive then but still a lot more than CombineZP. Playing with 3D was my primary reason for downloading it. For example, it is has a very user friendly interface, it is fast and makes use of the multiple core processors, and it has some options for 3D output. However, thanks perhaps to a new portable, it turned out to be OK and I now have Helicon Focus installed. Helicon has several interesting features.

When I remembered my experiments of a year or two ago, I guessed that it might not be possible to download another month’s free trial.

I had forgotten that you can get a month’s free trial of Helicon.

64 bit mode - get advantages of all available physical memory, significantly improves performance on machines with more than 2Gb of RAM.This function is especially important for macrophotography. Helicon Focus also aligns images as objects often change their size and position from shot to shot. The program is designed for macrophotography, microphotography and hyperfocal landscape photography to cope with the shallow depth-of-field problem.

In other words, it creates one focused image from the set of several partially focused photographs by combining the focused areas. Helicon Focus is designed to blend the focused areas of several partially focused digital photographs to increase the depth of field.
