I agree with Astrophytum,

In general, I have between 50 to 300 images in each stack to process. I create substacks of about 5–10 photos each using Method B, then reopen the substacks in Helicon and compile the final image using Method C.

A streamlined workflow could be really helpful.

I see that the right click "Stack output" from the lower bar use by default the Method B. Is it possible to have the possibility to switch to Method C too?

I've noticed that when retouching in version 9.0.2, unlike in version 8.3.11 (and previous), clicking the right button no longer allows you to temporarily visualize the image before editing.
Is it possible to restore this very useful feature?
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this request is feasible, but I find it interesting in relation to my work.

It is common to work with subjects that have very dark (or very light) areas, and during the retouching phase using substacks, it can be difficult to determine whether there are features worth highlighting ...

I'm testing the new release by creating sub-stacks with the batch process (splitting 150 images into sub-stacks of 6 images using Method B), then importing and stacking again with Method C.
It happens (though this also occurred a long time ago with a previous version) that when I retouch the image ...

I agree with the two previous posts; this is a function that is interesting for me as well, especially when working with very dark subjects, such as flower inclusions in amber.
Any sneak peek about the next major release? 🙂


I have the same issue now. I would like to see brighter RAW file when ...

If remember well, time ago you said that you are working for a new release, (v.3?) with improvement in sub-stacking and other functionalities.
Is it always planned?

Here is a small pollen grain carefully placed on a entomological needle.

The software make a kind of sound, freeze, then after 10-15 seconds automatically it close without any message.

I've updated my laptop with Windows 11, and when I import the images using the batch option (F7), the software randomly crashes, either reading the data from the SSD card or with the images (ARW SONY format) copied in the internal HD.
Once imported the software works correctly.

Have you observed ...

I've added a new chapter into my site web, concerning these lines. I hope that can help in future other Helicon users: https://enrico-bonino.eu/tech-side/remo ... ing-lines/

Kharkiv today again heavily bombed by russian army.
Kharkiv, the town where is located the HeliconSoft headquarter.
I hope that all the Helicon team is safe somewhere else, far away from this nightmare.

Hello,
Where is it possible to find information about the latest installed versions or available patches?
I mean, I've installed the release 8.0.2 to replace the previous version, and I'm wondering if it is available a document in .txt format that describes in how the latest version has improved ...
