![]() ![]() Zerene Stacker goes the other route, exposing the conversion process and encouraging users to deal with it as what we think it really is: a key part of the overall workflow that deserves some attention in order to get best results. Some stacking software from other companies deals with this aspect by accepting raw files at the level of the user interface, then converting them to some RGB format, typically TIFF, in a background process that is easy to overlook and may be difficult to optimize. The structure of data in a typical raw image file, one value per photosite with color implied by a mosaic Bayer filter pattern, is fundamentally incompatible with the image alignment process that is required for stacking. See Working with Lightroom for more detailsĪ longer explanation is that no stacking software really works directly with raw files. Raw files is just a matter of selecting them and doing an Export to Zerene Stacker. When using Lightroom with the plugin, processing That handles raw conversion automatically. If you use Lightroom, then be aware that there's a Lightroom plugin for Zerene Stacker Software provided by your camera manufacturer. You can download those separately, or use Zerene Systems does not provide raw converters. Image quality intrinsic to the raw formats. Than are captured by current cameras, this process retains all of the TIFFs, tell Zerene Stacker to save its output also as 16-bit TIFF.īecause 16-bit TIFF files are lossless and have more bits per pixel To process any format of raw files, including DNG, takes two separate steps.įirst you convert the raw files to some standard RGB format, typically TIFF, and then you stack the TIFF files.įor highest quality, we recommend converting raw files to 16-bit TIFF We can use your email address or other information to find the key in our own records, and then we'll send you a fresh copy to install and save on your computer. To recover from problems with a license key, the simplest approach is to send email to. From these formats you can then use copy/paste to enter the license key into Zerene Stacker, as described HERE. So, when you save a copy of the license key, it is best to either save an exact copy of the email in which it came, or a plain text copy of the key. Such programs often make slight changes to punctuation, so small that they are difficult or impossible to see by eye, but still these changes make the license key not valid. ![]() Often they will not even survive being passed through a “smart” word processing program or PDF writer. Keys are almost impossible to enter correctly by typing. ![]() The key must be entered exactly correct, including upper/lower case and all punctuation, or it will not be accepted. The second is that the key has been slightly modified during the process of being saved and retrieved. If any portion of the key is not included, the key will be rejected. Each Zerene Stacker license key is long and complicated, typically 17 lines including the BEGIN and END lines. The first is that some portion of the license key has been omitted from the copy/paste. There are two common reasons that a license key won't work. In their enthusiasm to eliminate files that they think are not used, they're likely to also delete files you really do need, like your license key and Zerene Stacker configuration files.Ĭan I have multiple versions installed at the same time? On Mac, when trashing out the old version, do NOT allow any third party uninstaller or cleanup applications like “AppCleaner” to run. If you have created a Dock icon for the old version, you should remove that also, and re-create it for the new version. Otherwise both versions will continue to be available, and you will run whichever one you happen to click on. On Macintosh and Linux, you will have to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it. On Windows, installing the new version will automatically replace the old version. Then install the download as if you were installing the program for the first time. Just visit one of those pages and download the appropriate version for your type of computer. Program updates are posted as new installers, on the regular Downloads and Beta Downloads pages. ![]()
