Zerene Stacker is “focus stacking” software designed specifically for challenging macro subjects and discerning photographers. Of course it works great with simpler subjects, close-ups, and landscapes also!







Zerene Stacker has several advantages over other commonly used stacking programs:

• Highest quality output images, especially in difficult cases

• Accurate and robust alignment and interpolation

• Advanced stacking algorithms

• Clean handling of hairs and bristles – no halos or contour lines

• Preserves low contrast detail and avoids “stacking mush” with deep stacks

• Fast and flexible retouching makes it easy to combine the best features of multiple algorithms as well as original frames

• Retouching supported by all versions, even at the lowest price

• Supports 8- and 16-bit input and output files

• Can generate stereo and 3-D rocking animations from a single stack, even for difficult subjects with structural overlaps and bristles.

• Fully utilizes modern multi-core processors and multi-processor computers
