It is the possibility of making corrections from the single image stacks that allow you to get a better result. If you compile the image, based only on the substacks, the result without the operation of editing, is not particularly different from the one you get by compiling the whole set of images in one single step. The fact of using packages of substacks created from the fusion of about ten-twenty images (the number of images is user-defined, there is no common rule), makes editing easier, less “time-consuming”, and the final result is a clean and correctly displayed image. With this low DOF, the process of image correction based on individual frames (sometimes more than a hundred) is particularly tedious. This is particularly useful when you have hairs, bristles, legs or antennae that are in the foreground, and overlap with complex parts that are in the background.įor example, an image acquired with a Mitutoyo 10x lens and with a 2.5µm step originates a very important number of frames. Once you have created the image from the merged computed substacks, you select the intermediate images (substacks) and work with the editing tools to replace the incorrectly compiled parts. The substacking process is used to remove in the editing phase those horrible phenomena of transparency and halos present between the subjects in the foreground and those in the background. This new release includes, among other new features, a function that allows you to create substacks in an intuitive and functional way.

This function (also called slabbing operation) is present in the versions of the competing software Zerene Stacker, but now is available on Helicon Focus (version 8, currently in BETA release – ).
