Re: red triangle on stack?

Thanks.
I visit your forum from my cellphone. I post images from my Windows machine although I've not visited from there for a while.
I don't use VPN for either access.
I've just done a search .....
"Imgur actively blocks access to all users in the UK."
I'll do an access later when I can and see if ...

Re: red triangle on stack?

Hi
Since very recently, occasional posts containing images are redacted by the host software, showing a box labelled that the contents are not available in my area. This thread is one of the current ones.

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2

Have you tried dragging the RAW files in from file management
Let Helicon do the stacking with the option to save the output files as DNG.
Saves involving DNG conversion of the input files then deleting the DNG files.

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2

Ok I understand but it seems strange that the stacked ABC save to the nominated source folder but the newly stacked image goes to the temporary folder

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2

For the purpose of beta testing and for the purpose of this test ..... the source folder contains only the RAF files. They were CTRL-A and dragged into 9.0.2 which was loaded directly (not LightRoom).
The save option for stacked files was a nominated (from the dialogue box) subfolder within the test ...

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2

I think there's a problem with saving a batch of saved images in Save All images
Make an A B and C stack
Select all three images
Right click and choose to make a stacked image
Select all four images and choose to Save All images
The three first stacked images are saved. The fourth image (the stack ...

Re: Helicon Focus 9 not deleting temporary TIFF files (disk fills up)

Does the RAW-in-DNG-out process work in the same way? When are the temporary DNG files prepared in Lightroom deleted after they have been used in Helicon for stacking. Are they temporarily held in RAM? Or written to a scratch file? Where? I have numerous disk drives.

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2


I don't currently see another way to change it, we'll discuss it with the developers. But it's not the last method in the list, it's the last one you clicked when selecting. Click A, then B, then C - you get C. Click A-C-B - you get B, etc.

Work around is easy
Do your stacks
Select the method ...

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2

Having used this new facility I can say how useful it is.
But ..... does your last comment mean that you cannot change the parameters? Or method? Previously I've tended to stick with method C for my stacking of the previous stacks because I work A then B then C so C would be left in place as the ...

Re: Is manual sorting of source pictures possible?

Why not relabel them in your folder?
Make a copy of the folder.
Rename them 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Then import them into HF

Re: Is there hard data on optimal step distance?

Waldenk I’d not doubt your figures or maths or physics. I’m probably at a similar state in the game. However your system is more complex than the one I’m using and might be the source of the miscalculation. I’ve been through my copy of Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, endless calculations and ...
