I am using Olympus in camera stacking, Have used photoshop.Allan, I know it's annoying and can take forever
are you using PS?
maybe try Zerene - they do, or did, a free trial
it allows you to choose to ignore certain bits - so where you have a "movement conflict" you can just choose just one or more or whatever
I am using Olympus in camera stacking, Have used photoshop.
I've typically used affinity photo for my stacking (although the Lumix cameras and my new OM1 have it inbuilt). But as you note, the smallest movement can throw the whole thing out of the window.
I tried to do some ant macro yesterday, and couldn't stack a thing. Even those that were motionless had their little antenna moving which meant they looked like fuzzy spiders lol
Even though I've only had the OM 1 a short while the in built stacking is, in my opinion a hit and miss most of the time. Strange it only goes up to 15 images also, where as the Lumix is capped at 999 (which is madness).
So far I've found the in camera stacking is a 50/50 gamble lol. I've now also found and used the focus bracketing in the OM 1 and that is better as I use affinity V2 for stackingFocus bracketing will go up to 999 on the OM1 ( and a few other Oly bodies too), the stacking will only go up to 15 frames, which I agree should/could be higher. The stacking in camera, can be a bit hit and miss in my short experience with it.
