Stacking - poorly aligned result


Recommended Posts

I have been trying out various AP features this morning. Long term, I'm intrigued by stacking so I took 3 awful photos of the fireplace with my phone and stacked them. The result is horribly misaligned. Curiously if I feed the same 3 photos into "File, New Panorama" or "File HDR Merge" they align well so AP seems to be capable of lining them up. I have tried "Perspective" and "Scale, rotate and translate" options so - what am I doing wrong please?

 

Thanks,

John

I tried using the Focus Merge in the first release of APW. It stacked OK, but took ten minutes for six images. I downloaded the latest version, and it now stacks in 90 seconds!

 

The output looks pretty good, and the editing from the source images seems to work well. The output looks to be on a par with that from Zerene Stacker.

Actually i just did a 240 pic focus stack and the result is quiet good. The time needed for processing was about 45 min (with an onbord graphic card (intel HD 530), my "big" one is in RMA).

What I would like is having a bit more controll about the settings and parameters like Zeren or Helicon, but that can wait.

Shortly after the export i got this error message.

Ii tried with some more photographs and a more realistic situation. I took, I think 9, photos. They stacked beautifully.

 

 

It's just s a little odd that the first three lined up well in HDR & Panorama but not Stack. Ah well, not important.
