Summary[edit]

Description

I've been a Zerene Stacker user for years but for a number of reasons felt I ought to try Helicon Focus, so I grabbed the nearest spider and took a 27 photo stack, then ran them both through Zerene (PMax) and Helicon (Method C).

Spot the difference? Actually there is one, but maybe not what you think. There are lots of reviews of Zerene versus Helicon online, and I can now confirm what they all say! Zerene is *marginally* sharper - but only if you pixel-peep, Helicon is much faster (4-5 times on my setup). What does this mean in practice? A 27 image stack that takes 3 minutes 14 seconds to process with Zerene runs in 40 seconds with Helicon. But Helicon is over a hundred quid and marginally less sharp. I may be better investing in hardware. Opinions welcome!
