Enabled is a few seconds faster.

Processed on a Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB.

I use Nikon Z8 and Z9.

If I shoot in Helicon Remote and stack in Helicon Focus then the rendering times for 50 photos are:

RAW - 2 minutes and 10 seconds

JPG (Fine) - 18 seconds

Why is there this big difference?

Tks for your answer.

On Nikon Z9 I turn it off in Play Back Menu - Auto Image rotation.

Nothing happens when I tirn off the auto-rotation.

If I do the same in Lightroom Classic Tethering Shooting the image changes rotation.

Per

I have taken a lot of macro photos earlier where I use a tripod and the subject is on a horizontal surface.
I have photographed in wide format and the photo has entered in wide format on the Mac via Helicon Remote.
Now the photo suddenly is in portrait format and as soon as I move the camera away ...

Just to let you know, that nothing has changed.
The processtime is still veeeery long.

Catherine - who are you asking - Shutterbug or me?

I am trying to connect Nikon Z9 to Helicon Remote via wifi and I can't figure out how to set it up.

Can anybody give me a step by step guide how to set it up?

Tks in advance.

Upgrading to 8.2.15 has NOT solved the problem.

Have today tried with Nikon Z6( RAW) - same problem.

When shooting in JPEG Fine Large 6048x4024 or TIFF Large 6048x4024 the process time is very few seconds.

It is Raw (NEF) files from Nikon Z9. The size of a file is 30,6 MB.
I use Helicon Remote to capture the photos and then automatically starts HF.
If I open the files directly in HF the process time is the same.

NB: Does HF run in Rosetta-mode - see attached screendump?

Yes, 7 minutes for the stack, and OpenCL enabled.

Reinstalled 8.2.13 and now the rendering time is 7 minutes!

I think HF has become very slow after upgrade to 8.2.14.

Rendering 68 photos (Method B) each photo 45 MP takes more than 18 minutes!
