Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.2




The request to add an option in the substack-function to render the substacks with another method / another setting is on your "to do"?

Yes

Can you provide a timeline when (if ?) this feature might be implemented?
Rendering substacks in 9.0.3 works flawless, but still there is no option to ...

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.1

Thanks for the quick answers, Catherine!
I did some more tests with version 9, of importance might be the specifics of my system:
Mac M1 desktop, 16GB
non-Apple two-button mouse
Mac OS Tahoe 26.4

With regards to performance-improvements:
I did the same stack of 139images in JPEG with version 8.3.10 ...

Re: Helicon Focus 9.0.1 - issues ...

First - congrats to this new version of Helicon and Happy Easter!
It seems to be much faster than the 8.x with method B... still testing, but so far:
stack with 139 images: 1min in 8.3.10, 17secs in 9.0.1, method B on Mac M1 = 3 times faster
BUT - a stack with 90images and with method C: 12 secs in ...

feature request: adding a 'real' scale to show FOV of image

Hello,

for some use cases like minerals adding a scale helps a lot to understand how large (or small) a crystal is.

Currently the "Text/Scale" function in Helicon only adds a scale with no real measurement (scale width only determined by percentage of image x-size).

Idea is, to have a scale that ...

Thanks Catherine!

Re: Blurring around complex shapes

Hello Phil,

I might miss a a point but I think this is a wrong assumption:

"Paraphrasing what I wrote in 2022:
As you move the lens closer to the object -- as when you focus on a near point -- the magnification increases. As you move the lens away from the object towards the sensor -- as when you ...
