And so all these new techie things are supposed to be an asset??? Sounds to
me like some of it is no more than a big pain in the ass???
Whatever happened to simply turning the lens focusing ring.... 'YOU MAKE THE
IMAGE SHARP!" 'CLICK!" Beautiful photo! PRINT~
Almost makes a fella swear off these auto everything cameras???? Doesn't it?
Given the days and days of chit chat about stacking whatever it is you
stack? AND DOES IT REALLY MAKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ANY
BETTER???????????????????????
C&C WELCOME ! ;-)
cheers,
Dr. ted :-)

I did not notice that before. I have in the past on some images. I should
watch that video. I might be changing stacking software. I wonder if ZP
will work in conjunction with Lightroom.
