    I was very surprised. I searched for a free focus stacking application multiple times with few results and lots of recommendations for paid software. With how little chimpstackr is recommended, I expected poor results, but it did noticeably better than Olympus’s own raw editing software.

      If Olympus is anything like Nikon, their software isn’t that great. It’s almost like they expect you to use commercial offerings. IMO, the only nice thing with Nikon’s offering is that it will show you focus information (what it was trying to focus on, if it though it had achieved focus, etc). Sony doesn’t offer any software at all, but you’ll get a free capture one express license.

        Yeah, OM Workspace is the editor you get with Olympus/OM System cameras. Admittedly, I didn’t use it very much, but I get the sense it isn’t top tier. I’m just so thankful that there are great open source options.

          Darktable is great. I don’t take photos of things that would benefit from focus stacking, but I’m going to take note of the repo. Thanks for sharing!
