A major bug in Helicon version 7.6.0 Windows?

Post by TheDocAUS »

There seems to be a major bug in Helicon version 7.6.0 Windows. It impacts Method C.

I downloaded the Helicon 7.6.0 installation file and reinstalled it again. But the bug still remains.

When you use Method C the stack is defective. For example, I can stack it 3 times using Method C and get materially different results each time – without changing any setting or source files. It looks like the bug impacts the setting of the white or black points or something else to do with colour, as the Histogram of each stack varies widely. Examples being uploaded to the Help Desk.

Does 7.6.1 solve this issue?

Used all methods … no problems found! And astonishingly fast, especially after the first run!

I was getting errors with Method C every 2 or 3 images. Nil so far after a dozen stacks. Looks promising.

I have done over 50 stacks and no issues so far. Bug has been squashed!
