Hi Alan When you export rectangles they go into the (rectangles folder), but when you export more to the same folder the ones already there are missing have...
Hello David, your supposition is correct but only because the original files are replaced with some with the same names. If you have used 'Export Rectangles'...
Alan, Thanks you very much for the procedures. What might be very useful to someone starting in with the CombineZ program is a 'standard' set of input images...
Alan - notice on the site you say it sometimes works with win2k (but not picture capture). Any ideas on what is necessary to get it to just do the stacking...
Hello Brian, I had one corrispondant who was having trouble getting CZM to work on Windows 2000. After some experimenting he found that installing the...
Yes Keith my intention has always been to do more step by step guides, the trouble has been I have still been adding things to the program. In this department...
OK Michael, and other readers, suppose you are doing a stack in which there is a large patch that has very little detail or the detail is spread out i.e. there...
... a limiting factor to a point, I beleive the Windows OS imposes a limit of 2GB per application (I don't know if this still applies to Vista). CZ needs to...
P.S. I forgot to mention in my last post, you should remove preprocessing functions from the Do Stack macro before running it on a stack with fixed pixels....
Hello Alan, You have developed super software, my compliments. I make lots a mineral pictures every month. Both with Helicon and Combine. Helicon is much...
Hello Fred, CZ starts by looking for definite edges or other details, so if these are weak, or at the same level as the background noise in the picture CZ...
Hello everyone No major problems have had to be fixed this time so you only need to download and replace CombineZM.exe if you think anything below is important...
I thought I would do a hurried example to show off some newer functions of CZM (you will need today's release to make this example work), this is not a pritty...
The problem I'm having is that I can't make it work. I loaded three images, pressed 'Do Stack' and what came out at the end was an image split into three with...
Hello, I installed the program a few days ago, but I'm having some problems with it. I can't seem to load any images, regadless to their size and file format....
Gil you are probably correct, 256 MB of memory may be your problem. I would 512 MB is a minimum for small pictures and 1 GB for most digital camera pictures....
Hi Alan, I've just upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) and some of the outputs are showing artefacts I haven't seen before. The most common is ...
Michael: I am just chiming in here because I don't see the bubbles in the second image. I do see some out of focus lighter areas behind the mushroom, is that...

Hi Mel, I've posted the *.jpgs in the files folder. The problems will be much clearer there. The bubbles are indeed the lighter areas, and the one on the...
Neat little black tick on the brown mushroom. Yes, I do see the problem with the bubbles. ... From: Michael Pilkington To: combinez@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Michael: I see the light scratch-like pattern on the right center of the image. Weird. Mel ... From: M POLLINGER To: combinez@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
Hello Michael and all, sorry not to have replied sooner. The 'bubbles' appear to be bright spots that are out of focus, could be a drop of water or light...
This might be off topic, but I'm surprised at how many people are blindly upgrading to Microsoft Windows Vista. Would you go out and buy a radical new car...
Hi Dave, I'm not usually an 'early adopter.' My new memory wouldn't run under my old operating system. But apart from a few unavailable drivers and a couple...
Alan, I've uploaded another shot of a bubble from the edge of a Do Stack output. It doesn't occur when I do the weighted average, or the Average and filter. ...
Alan, I took a look at the polypore. I posted my 'yellow thing' <http://liveforum.h711818.serverkompetenz.net/album_showpage.php?full=tr\ ue&pic_id=9546>...
Thank's for your detailed analysis of the problems Michael, something for me to work on there. Enjoy your trip and remember to bring us a present back with...
