Programming Tube

Hi-
I have had an FB tube for a few years now. I originally programmed the tube using a Canon 5D mkii and a 100mm f/2.8 macro leans. I now have an EOS R body and the same lens (it is the EF version, not the RF version). I wanted to re program the tube to have more steps, but it doesn’t seem to want ...

Re: Problem with new macro lens

First post- forgive me if this has been answered already. I downloaded a 30 day trial of Helicon Focus yesterday. I was looking at the options for licensing the product, but I don’t know what I downloaded. Was it the lite version, or the pro version? Thanks!
