Funny though, now with this software, perhaps I can bring my interests to the garden or indoors… hmmmm However, I personally have zero interest in in this type of photography having to combine so many images(regardless how automated.) I most certainly wouldn’t rule out (and never say never) using these new techniques, but for now I don’t do any photography other than outdoor/nature. Today, with the auto focus-stacking capable cameras and Helicon focus doing the technology heavy lifting, your energy can be channeled into the creative process. In the past, you would have to spend more time and effort on the technology of creating the image stack and compiling. The image below, ‘Yuletide Chalice’, is a composite of 2 stacks of 31 images made with the Nikon Z7, compiled with Helicon Focus then created in Photoshop 2019. The manufacture is also active at issuing new releases. I have found this software intuitive and adaptable to various type of photography. However for complex stack >5 images, consider Helicon Focus.įuture proof your image making and learn new skills. ( you may have a similar disdain for subscription sw)ĭoes Helicon Focus work better that CC 2019 ?įor small stacks no. In 2016, after evaluating all the software available in the market, I purchased the Helicon full pro version for $140 during a Black Friday Thanksgiving sale. Helicon Focus 7.0 takes advantage of scaling to 10 CPU cores.Īlso, this focus stacking software can be used for your macro or astro photography This requires a high end GPU and CPU processing power. It is common now to make a still life scene with multiple 16-bit 45-Megpixel images at f4 (for bokeh) and then f8 (depth of field) of 300 image stacks in RAW then convert to TIFF then compile with Helicon Focus then use the 2 complied images to blend/create your final image in CC19. Nikon recently released the mirrorless Z7 which expanded their automated focus stacking technology. ![]() ![]() The technology and workflow has widened over the years. Since 2009 I have been taking workshops with a pioneer of focus stacking. And again, it’s highly likely that I lack some process flow to improve what PS can do. In most of the grass images I do, the details are so small that the imperfections in the stacks are not even close to being visible in a 1500px web view.Īnyway, thanks for asking. Imagine what the difficulty is in hundreds, thousands of tiny leaves. Keep in mind too, this image contains only aspen trunks - no moving in the wind and not many fine details or difficult edge transitions. This particular intimate scene worked better at f/16 than the attempt at stacking.Ī little hard to tell in this image, but hopefully you can see. The end result are areas that are not well defined and clearly not fit for printing or often even web display. Anyway, PS often can’t figure out which area is best, or the in-focus areas are “too close” for PS to distinguish, and it attempts to do some content aware filling, or other things I don’t understand. There’s a visible difference in focus between front and back trunks, plus 2 other focus points in between. I’m zoomed out at 170mm and shooting at f/8. It’s a grouping of aspen trunks separated by maybe 15-20ft front to back. Here is a close up example of a simple 4-image stack. There’s operator error too, and I’m not even sure I’m doing the best job in the field when capturing, which could make it harder for PS to do stuff. Now to be fair to PS, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a genius when it comes to the technical aspects, and I try to take the simple, easy route. Thanks for the Zerene Stacker reference too. Was just checking to see if there were any other options out there that I hadn’t heard about. Sure, I get the power of the sw, but if I don’t need all the bells and whistles, I hope it’s easy enough to produce a quality image without too much trouble. I’m just hoping there’s an “easy button” for simple stacks. ![]() It seems to me these focus stacking programs are great for very complicated subjects (macro/micros of flies and table-top photography…) I have no plans for anything like that and would utilize primarily for simply landscape type images (you know me, grasses, etc.) Nothing complicated about the PS process - it’s just that it doesn’t deliver great results, depending on the scene. My initial fear like with anything new or different is being able to use the software without much pain and minimal learning curve. Then again, they have a holiday sale $40 off regular price, so I may just purchase anyway. Duh, on downloading and checking out trial versions… The Helicon sw is fully functional for 30 days, so I’ll be giving that a try. ![]() ![]() Raspberry Pi boards are often sold as part of a kit that includes a power adapter, a case, a microSD card, and other accessories, but at this point, we'd advise you to ignore them.

But none of the emulators that will run well on a Pi require a ton of RAM, so if you can find it, the 1GB $35 Pi 4 is a fine choice, too. A good default option is the $45 2 GB Raspberry Pi 4, which seems to enjoy slightly better (albeit not great) availability than the other iterations as of this writing, and smaller retailers like CanaKit charge a ton for shipping.

But during the first 21 days that the funds were available Defendant SBA distributed funds to priority applicants, which included restaurants that were "socially and economically disadvantaged." To determine which restaurants qualified as socially and economically disadvantaged, Defendant SBA relied on the same statutory and regulatory framework at issue here-particularly, the race-based rebuttable presumption. Defendant SBA distributed the funds on a first come, first served basis. In, the Sixth Circuit reviewed the way in which Defendant SBA distributed coronavirus relief funds to help restaurants impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Recently, the Sixth Circuit addressed a challenge similar to the one Ultima raises here. In such circumstances, Defendants' use of the rebuttable presumption "cannot be subjected to meaningful judicial review." The lack of any stated goals for Defendants' continued use of the rebuttable presumption does not support Defendants' stated interest in "remediating specific, identified instances of past discrimination"If the rebuttable presumption were a tool to remediate specific instances of past discrimination, Defendants should be able to tie the use of that presumption to a goal within the 8(a) program.Įven if Defendants stated a sufficiently compelling interest, they still must demonstrate "a strong basis in evidence" to support the use of the race-based rebuttable presumption…. Without stated goals for the 8(a) program or an understanding of whether certain minorities are underrepresented in a particular industry, Defendants cannot measure the utility of the rebuttable presumption in remedying the effects of past racial discrimination. Defendants also do not examine whether any racial group is underrepresented in a particular industry relevant to a specific contract in the 8(a) program. And Defendant SBA admits that it does not require agencies to have goals for the 8(a) program. But Defendant USDA admits it does not maintain goals for the 8(a) program. Additionally, the government must present goals that are "sufficiently coherent for purposes of strict scrutiny."ĭefendants assert that their use of the rebuttable presumption in the 8(a) program is to remedy the effects of past racial discrimination in federal contracting. The Supreme Court has held that the government has a compelling interest in "remediating specific, identified instances of past discrimination that violated the Constitution or a statute." Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. To satisfy the compelling-interest prong, the government must both identify a compelling interest and provide evidentiary support concerning the need for the proposed remedial action. Courts, therefore, "evaluate equal protection claims against the federal government under the Fifth Amendment just as would evaluate equal protection claims against state and local governments under the Fourteenth Amendment." … 2011) ("The Fifth Amendment, of course, does not itself contain a guarantee of equal protection, but instead incorporates, as against the federal government, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."). ![]() "The liberty protected by the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause contains within it the prohibition against denying to any person the equal protection of the laws."

However, from the looks of it, Steam’s popularity was eventually too hard to ignore. But I dont expect it to come back to steam soon : (.
