NO! this is not true. It sounds like a new urban myth is developing around CZ. I developed most of the ideas which CZ is based on myself over several ...
In was about to ask: Which list and what member when Alan answered. But anayway: which US List and what member please? Don On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 11:23 AM, Dr...
I am going to program a few updates to CZP, I have done a few trials and all should be possible. Now is your last chance to request or remind me about...
Hi Alan, Concerning "Image Meta Data: i.e. Exif etc, I will copy this from the first frame of a stack to the output images when possible." It could be...
Alan, I ran a macro on the latest (Nov. 1st.) version of CombineZP, everything went smoothly except that I get an error message saying unable to save [name of...
Hi Alan, Is it possible when a image is cropped or rectangle is made, that size is remembered, or a fixed size, then this area could be moved to where it was...
... An option to correct (slight) rotation would be nice. I'm doing a lot of in the field work and it's not always possible to keep my camera in exactly the...
Alan, I'm using your software again after an extended hiatus. I thought I could 'set rectangle' as shown in the pic posted in Folder 'scitech200' to define a...
Keith, basically any function that is on the Rectangle menu will be limited to the Active Rectangle. There are a few additions to this rule seed filling etc....
Alan, thanks for the input. Now I have to go find my old "experimental" macros and see what I can sort out again. Hmmm, no careful notes... But I suppose a...
Alan: Is there some way in ZP that the frames can be aligned on user specified points within each frame? I seem to remember that your original Combine Z...
Hello Alan, Have just noticed in CZBatch, when you click on (Output Files Type) it says jpg, when it is altered to BMP,bmp, png, it can not be changed back to...
I will add a scroll bar in the update David. As a work around choose any format and use the 'Up Arrow' key to make the top line of the list reappear. Alan ...
I am new to CombineZ and have been using it to stack photos to get large depth of field. It works great most of the time but on some images, the final result...
Hello David, You have hit on one of the most difficult problems to solve when stacking to increase depth of field. The cure all solution is to repair the...
Hi Alan, I don't think rotation is the problem because the stack is all tripod- mounted shots of a static subject. I will be glad to send you the stack images...
David, if your ISP will allow send them as email attachments, either zipped into a single file or as seperate files on more than one email if necessary. My...
The US list is the US Facet Cutters' Guild Forum, a large group of gem faceters (actually international) to which I have been extolling the advantages of...
Great program! Just started using it. I have a question regarding the best way to do the focussing. There are two basic variants: 1. Focussing using a macro...
If you focus using the conventional focusing ring or autofocus you will change the object/image distance relationship and make a small change in magnification....
I have been thinking for some time to come up with exactly the same question. I work with a prime lense, so the focal length is fixed. Autofocus is out of the...
This matter has been discussed before, quite extensively. As far as I remember both methods are useful, each being good for a particular set of conditions or a...
"What do the experts say?" No idea! I'm no expert here but I have tried both and will add a third. The program seems to be able to cope with either but does...
Thanks for all your comments! Perhaps the author of the program could say what his program is doing, or which method is better suited for it: Focusing vial...
It helped me a lot stacking some moon shots <http://www.flickr.com/photos/hhoyer/3273268609> :) So, thank you! [Moon - 2009-02-11 - 300mm - Stacked] ...
Dear Alan, I know this suggestion is a bit behind the deadline, and it's probably a bit outside the ambit of the program, but no harm in asking. When I use my...
