Software Description

Helicon Focus is a program that creates one completely focused image from several partially focused images by combining the focused areas.

The program is designed for macrophotography, microphotography and hyperfocal landscape photography to cope with the shallow depth-of-field problem.

Helicon Focus also aligns images as objects often change their size and position from shot to shot. This function is especially important for macrophotography.

Key features:

- Vertical position defines maximum vertical shift between two images in % of their width.

- Horizontal position defines maximum horizontal shift between two images in % of their width.

- Rotation defines maximum angle between two images in degrees. For microscope shots this is usually not needed.

- Magnification defines maximum difference in size between two images in % of their width.

- Brightness checkbox defines whether brightness of the adjacent images should be normalized.

- Resample quality is used to preserve details during alignment process. The slower resample quality is the better.

- Depth map feathering defines the degree of smoothing of the depth map used for method B. Higher values better better mask seams between different focused areas.

- Vertical position defines maximum vertical shift between two images in % of their width in Micro Panorama mode.

- Horizontal position defines maximum horizontal shift between two images in % of their width in Micro Panorama mode.

- Reset to Default button resets all Autoadjustment preferences to default.

- Set your digital camera to manual exposure mode (shutter speed, aperture, ISO). Otherwise images may have different brightness.

- Position the object of your interest to shoot the upper left part of it. Take a shot. Use the remote control (if available) to minimize camera shaking.

- Move the object to the left so that adjacent shots overlap by 20-30%.

- Take a shot.

- Move the specimen horizontally, then down to start the next row.

- Take shots until you cover all the object.

- The Rows control lets you choose how many rows your panorama will have.

- The Columns control lets you choose how many columns your panorama will have.

- The Overlapping for rows slider defines how adjacent rows overlap.

- The Overlapping for columns slider defines how adjacent columns overlap.

- The Reset position of images button lets you restore position of the images after you dragged them with the mouse.

- The Seam Smoothing slider defines the width of seams with gradient transparency.

- The Sequence: normal button should be selected you if you shot every row of images from the left to the right.

- The Sequence: zigzag button should be selected if you shot odd rows from the left to the right, even rows - from the right to the left.

- The Crop margins checkbox defines if the resulting panorama should be cropped to leave only filled with pixels rectangle.

- Ability to define viewing point, lighting, rotation speed of the 3D model

- Ability to amplify and smooth relief (depth map)

- Export to movies and Web animations

- Export of Red-Cyan/Green/Blue anaglyphs and stereo pairs

- Export into widely supported Wavefront OBJ format
