A summer update for the Zoner Studio photo-editing suite for Windows has been released, with the headline addition being a new set of Photo Stacking Tools.
These new tools include Focus Stacking, Exposure Bracketing, Panorama, Long Exposure, Animation, and Remove Moving Objects.
“This update is about removing friction from real workflows — from sorting raw libraries to stacking photo series and getting better final images without switching between tools,’ said the company.
Focus Stacking was apparently one of the most requested features from macro and product photographers. The new tool combines multiple focus points into a single image with extended sharpness across the entire scene.
Panorama and Exposure Bracketing workflows also received ‘significant quality and workflow improvements,’ while new Autostack and Detect Stack workflows can now automatically recognise related image series and reduce manual preparation after importing.
The update also introduces a redesigned search system built for large libraries of raw files. Working across all metadata and improved grouping workflows, it makes sorting, filtering, and organising large image sets significantly faster directly inside Zoner Studio.
Other additions include Smart Healing in order to remove unwanted objects quickly; an upgraded Music Library for video projects and updated colour processing to improve consistency across editing workflows.
The Zoner Studio Summer Update is available now as part of the Zoner Studio subscription, including a free 7 day trial. Full details here.
