But the imperative to capture digitally, recently led me on a more-than-two-year quest for a new camera system and the system wound up being one without significant tilt capability. My testing of both versions indicates they are both quite solid, and on a new Mac Pro, the 64-bit version can be many times faster with larger images than the 32-bit versions on a PPC Mac, depending on the task, and also makes it possible to complete the processing of larger images, such as a stack of four, 48-bit, 39 MP source files, or a stack of two, 48-bit 64 MP source files, and presumably much larger tasks as well.įirst some background: I used a 4x5 and relied on tilts and small apertures for adequate depth of field for 35 years.

Update: April 17, 2009: Version 4.1 is released and allows 64-bit processing on the Mac, with access to far larger amounts of memory.

If you are already reliant on Helicon Focus, do not update your OS to 10.5.7 yet! Hopefully this will be fixed very quickly. Update: May 12, 2009: Version 4.1 and a newer beta both break in the new OS 10.5.7, becoming totally unusable.

Please refer to Mark Dubovoy's new article on about Helicon Focus, which acknowledges a small part of the work I did on Helicon Focus and comes to the conclusion that "Now that the 64-bit version of the software is available, I can say that at least with Canon 1Ds MKIII, P45+ and P65+ files the Helicon Focus software is a total success." Article here. Update: July 2, 2009: As of late June, a version has been created which does run in 10.5 on PPC, so a release should be imminent.
