Now online: Choosing software for Focus Stacking – Step one speed
I use both Helicon Focus and Zerene Stacker and intend to continue to do so. When speed is important, I tend to use Helicon Soft. Helicon Focus is faster than Zerene Stacker. I have tested with an AMD Ryzen 3700K processor and for a medium stack of 102 JPG: s Helicon Focus was 7.6 times faster. For a large stack of 849 TIFF: s Helicon was between 2 and 4.5 times faster.
