So... I decided to run a focus stack of a set of exposures of the OLED screen of my phone. I ended up with 72 exposures to process.
Using Zerene stacker, I obtained drastically different and completely ridiculous results from the Pmax and Dmap settings.
What's the way around this? I think the program simply got confused, because there's not much of a difference between "in focus" and "out of focus", just the confusion orbs are larger when not in focus.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

It looks to me like the computational alignment process is going crazy. That can happen sometimes when there are very regular repeating patterns that can get matched up incorrectly.
I suggest going to Options > Preferences > Alignment and tightening up the settings to be just a little bigger than what your stack actually requires. Turn off rotation entirely if your setup doesn't need that.

Tried a single exposure, worked well too. Like the nice symmetry.
