I am fascinated by the possibilities. Can someone tell me if ON1 Photo Raw will stack focus bracketed images. My camera will create the images, but not do the stacking.

Thanks

Check with On 1. They just announced their 2019 upgrade.

Edit - I Googled it for you. It is a new feature for them.

You can also use Affinity to focus stack.

I use Helicon Focus, and I'm quite satisfied

I would go along with Helicon as well. It is very good.

Helicon works for me, and it does panorama stitching quite well.

I use Helicon Remote for the stacking and Focus for the processing. Very happy with both. BTW, Photoshop will do stacking as well, but side by side with Helicon you can see the difference.

Both Helicon and Zerene have free evaluative periods where you can try the software for free. Both of the are far superior tp Photoshop. Between the two, I prefer Zerene.

In my experience, with my Olympus gear Helicon was creating weird artifacts. Never any issues with photoshop.

Another vote for HeliconFocus and HeliconRemote.
Excellent results and easy to use.

I believe it will be mid November when the 2019 version will be available which will have that capability.
