This is a brilliant tutorial thank you for sharing, now I just need to figure out the Mac shortcuts 😂

I have just subscribed to your channel, that is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen on photos stacking I do not have a program. I want to get into photo stacking so I think I will have to purchase it. Look forward to seeing more from you fantastic thank you🎉❤

As someone who has been doing a lot of work in Helicon, this is so incredibly helpful! Hope you keep putting out more of this type of content.

Thanks Jamie 🙏🏻 perfect 👍

I’ve honestly learnt so much it’s ridiculous

Jamie thank you very much for sharing your expertise in this master class session. It is well structured with suitable example and shows the technical difficulties and best practices to cope with them. Whereas I knew already many tricks I learnt some more: retouching with Photoshop, BCB technique and split stack technique. This was really great :)

Hi Jamie, this is so useful. Getting into macro over the last 2 month, seeing all the work you do in Lightroom and PS is great. I'm still in the "single shot" phase but stacking is one thing I would like to get into this year. Thanks you, have a great weekend.

Top notch tutorial mate! You're spot on about Helicon, I tried Zerene stacker and found it a bit unwieldy and complicated.

Thanks very much mate, glad you agree. I will give it blast at some point though.

Brilliant Tutorial Jamie and i use Zerene at the moment but looking at your Helicon workflow i must give it a try, Thanks again very inspiring.

Thanks very much Phil, Glad that it was helpful for you. Im hoping to have a go on zerene at some point, would be great to compare them.

Thank you, I have been too scared to take stacks as I thought the processing would be horrendous. Turns out I do a lot of this in photoshop anyway so this should just be the next step (and using shortcuts should save me time). My downfall is usually file handling/exporting/naming/saving (probably because I’m no spring chicken) so spare a though as you whizz through these things that probably seem so basic can’t wait for part 3 as this is the most helpful and inspirational video ever

Thank you very much Jamie. So much great information. I have now subscribed.

Very cool to see your skills at work, and it definitely sheds some light on how much work you really put into it. I'd say it's a labour of love! Great video!

Thanks very much, yeh there are times when it not necessarily 'enjoyable', but when your efforts are paid always a good feeling.

Brilliant stuff mate, thank you!👍

Absoltely Great ❤

Great tutorial, I liked the BCB and split stacking technique very useful + I am somewhat good at photoshop so it will be easier for me to do the post in PS than in Helicon

Thanks very much. Yeh, Photoshop opens alot of creative doors for fixing and improving images, i alway feel very comfortable when Im in PS

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see other people's methods. I've kind gone the opposite lately and started doing more of my cloning in Helicon, mostly because the soft brushes in PS would paint outside of the cursor circle making me unknowingly paint over some edges. However, this video has inspired me to actually google it and sure enough it was a cursor setting. I've been very skeptical of BCB, but seeing how well it worked on your stack is making me want give it a shot (as I definitely spend too much time on some of my stacks).

Even as a non photoshop user this looks achievable 👃

Great tutorial!

I just binged all your videos today. Thanks for this, very very helpful as I just downloaded the trial version of Helicon. One question tho, you did the split stack of the fly and its "antennas". Is it possible to stack those two stacks again as well (just like the bcb method)? Btw, your interviews are lovely as well. They made me miss Australia tho

Hey Jamie, amazing content, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I know this video is focused on post processing, but I was curious what your differential settings are when using OM's in camera focus bracketing? I might have missed that if you covered it in Part 1's video. I'm currently shooting at a differential of 3 and sometimes it seems like plenty while at other times it isn't enough (maybe because of camera movement?).

Yeh I did cover it a bit, but not in great detail. It depends on the subject and its size almost entirely. The smaller the subject and higher the magnification the smaller my differential gets. For most cases im using 2 or 1, but I shoot alot of very small things deep and its alot more work when alot of the time 3 would probably be more than fine. But for super tiny things, I Like to cover all the bases

Hi Jamie, can I combine parts of c method into b method in the lite version? Thanks for a great tutorial.

Hi,I really like the relaxed way you put your videos over. May I ask what format you take your photos in? i.e raw. Reason being is I see when you have imported to Helicon they are tif files 👍👍

@JamieHallDefinitiveImaging

Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much. I’m glad it’s relaxed and not boring 😂. Feel I might need some more energy sometimes. I shoot in RAW, helicon just converts them to Tiff.

Do I need the Lite or Pro version to do what you have shown in the video

Is your flash stack shot at 1/100 th ? I am having a right nightmare getting any sharp stack at that speed. Might just take practice.

Once you've stacked the shots then processed in Photoshop you delete the original images? I guess if you shoot as many images as you do they take up hard drive space pretty quickly.

I've got to say...I found Zerene a lot easier to use than Helicon.
