I haven't used Picolay for a while but when I did I was happy with the results. I didn't know it was capable of stereo.

Me also. Recently saw somebody's post, decided to try, handled pretty well transparent subjects. Maybe Rik will step in and explain what are best settings/workflow for transparent stuff in Zerene.

These look great!

I generally use PMax, because depth map methods are more vulnerable to showing different features in the two images. For a richly-colored images like this I'd probably start with Options > Preferences > PMax Settings > Use All Color Channels In Decisions.

Shifts come either from experience or from the calculations at https://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker/d ... wing_angle, and in either case I'll generally render at a range of shifts and then pick the one that I like the best.

Are there some aspects that you're particularly curious about? Have you tried this stack with Zerene and had trouble with it?

Thanks Rik !
No, this Zerene stereo stack (Chironomidae larvae) was OK, even from the 16 photos only (PMax mostly, with some DMap).

I have problems with salt slides (of course I'm doing some mistake...) :
