Yes you are right. Sorry!!

If the columns in your table represent hours of processing time you should upgrade your computer. I just ran a 200 photo stack for both dmap and pmax in Zerene and the stacks took 10 minutes or a little more. Try a gamer's computer with 8 quads of processing and 16gb of RAM. In the 1980's. I had a16khz Apple computer and I tried to draw a crystal of cuprite in reduced point group symmetry and it took overnight to process. That computer died and the next generation up, which was only a Mac Plus would perform the same calculation in 2 minutes.

Seeing his response clearly has not read the article. Simply that you had read the first post you had seen both the characteristics of the computer used as the measured times are in minutes, seconds and hundredths of seconds.

Please, next time before you say something, read the article, thanks.

Olympus has a new camera that has built-in focus stacking capabilities. It doesn't stack 100 or 400 photographs unfortunately. I thought this might be of interest to some of the FMF members.

Olympus’ TG-3 Tough Cam Sports Serious Macro Capabilities Like Focus Stacking

Published on March 30, 2014 by DL Cade





The PEN-like Stylus SH-1 wasn’t the only camera to get its debut tonight. Olympus also introduced a new Tough camera, the Stylus Tough TG-3, whose claim to fame is impressive macro photography capabilities including an automatic focus stacking feature that’ll help expand your depth of field when you’re shooting really tiny subjects.

Basic specs are the same as the SH-1: a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor is joined by a TruePic VII processor, a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD (this one’s not touch) and built-in WiFi. On top of that, the TG-3 also boasts a fastest-in-class 4x 25-100mm equivalent f/2.0-4.9 lens, GPS, water depth and elevation sensors, and an e-compass.

Additionally, as you might expect from a Tough camera, this little shooter can withstand a great deal of abuse. The TG-3 is freezeproof to 14-degrees F, waterproof down to 50ft, shockproof from 7 feet up, crushproof to 220 pounds and dustproof.

Here are a few more pictures of the red model (it also comes in black):
