In this #test and brief macro #tutorial I compare the overall #performance of #Zerene Stacker and Adobe #Photoshop 2021 for macro photography focus stacking on the new #M1 Mac mini.
I measured the time it took both programs to perform alignment and blending of 82 layers for a final image then compared them side by side at the end for a final verdict.
The 82 images were taken with my Canon80D, the #Laowa25mm 2.5-5x ultra macro lens & the Neewer Pro 4-way macro focusing rail.
