I have been shooting some stacks on the Nikon D850 using the 105 f/2.8 AFS at f/5.6. The suggetion using experiment to find some combination of settings that works well, then just keep using that: 105 mm MicroNikkor AFS at f/8, step size 5, done. seems to hold for f/5.6 when shooting between 2' to 3...

Thanks for the quick and very informative reply.

What does the 'Pixels' retouch brush do in Zerene Stacker? I understand what the 'Details', 'Darken', and 'Lighten' retouch brushes do, but what does the 'Pixels' brush do?

Thanks.
