Wow! I have only yesterday got my new Xeon workstation and ZS was the main reason for this upgrade. If these numbers hold true I will upgrade my home version of ZS to a pro license which i did not need so far because at home I only do the stacking and had no need for the pro functions. In my institu...

Basically, a slight upgrade to Photoacute Studio. I downloaded the trial version once but found out that I could achieve similar results in Photoshop with a technique named "Image Averaging".

I also do my dmap/pmax combining in PS (with a layer mask) recently because it gives me better (more precise and more responsive) control over my brush movements, but the biggest advantage is that any action is fully reversible regardless of when I did it during the editing work. Nice images, BTW. C...

First of all - what a marvellous image! I have seen these (and other species of this genus) alive many times in Asia. There is quite a number of arboreal tiger beetles, but only a few, like this one, that are incapable of flight. ITIS specifically notes that Cicindelidae is "invalid". So far as I kn...

Very nice photos! On flies the ant body part would be the prosternum but I'm not sure whether it is the same in ants :D I think the corresponding parts are more or less similar in most (winged) insects. I would even dare to call it prosternal process. BTW - nice to see you here as well, Chris. Cheers
