I got an email a few weeks ago with an offer for the Focus Projects 3 Professional.  I tried it today in my living room.

 

I recommend this app/software.  I only paid $35 (US) for this app.  It uses all photo formats including DNG, JPG, TIFF etc.

 

Here is a sample of blending 7 images.  Notice the wood grain of the chair in the photo as well as the detail of Santa's beard in the seat of the chair.  Pretty amazing.  Can't wait to try this in a landscape and especially a macro of flowers.

 

A7 Mk II body, Zeiss 25/f2 Batis lens, 1/4 second ISO 100 at f2.  Tripod used.

What JJC said about low res.

 

You paid $35 USD? Did you not see this site? http://sharewareonsale.com/s/focus-projects-professional-giveaway-coupon-sale

 

The link to the trial download on their site is broken? https://www.projects-software.com/focus-projects-3-professional

 

Did a search on the product and it seems Franzis is offering 50-100% discounts on their products depending on where you click. This "company" seems to be all over the map with their pricing and marketing strategy. At least for me, it doesn't instill confidence in their software.

 

Thanks for posting but I'm going to take a pass.

And what is the advantage of this software over the stacking function in Photoshop?

 

My thoughts exactly, I use Photoshop elements (the small home edition), and even elements have photo stacking, so what'ts the point, is it better, does it have others features or just a stand alone possibility?

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
