Help with stacking in CombineZP
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:38 pm
Has anyone used CombineZP for stacking? If so, I have some issues with regarding focus stacking. I was trying to focus stack a quartz photomicrograph with 15 frames. Each frame was focused in 4 degree intervals in my Olympus BH2. Each time I try to do the Macros to perform the stacking functions, artifacts are introduced that detriment the image. I'll post some links so that these artifacts can be seen.

Artifacts include pixels from other frames being used to remove dark edges. Notice at the bottom edge, a mirroring artifact occurs. If anyone is familiar with these stacking flaws, could you provide suggestions to rectify them. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
