[Taxacom] extended focus in images: Automontage, DPXView Pro EF, Combine Z, others?

[Donat Agosti]

Dear colleagues

 

Is there somewhere a comparative paper on software that allows creating the
wonderful, extended focus on specimen images. Automontage is one of the
widespread tools, but there is also DPXView Pro EF from DeltaPix or the open
source Combine Z
(http://www.hadleyweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CZ5/combinez5.htm).

 

>From the point of view or learning, production and end product, how does the
open source Combine Z combine with the others: Are the products good enough
to use for prints in journals?

 

Thanks for some insights

 

Donat
