In case anyone here might be interested in purchasing a license for Zerene Stacker focus stacking software, their now annual (it seems) but little publicized year-end 20% off sale is now in effect. It ends on Dec. 31. I have no association with them, other than liking the software and having waited to purchase until the sale was in progress.
