first stacking attempt

images I take are not sharp because of empty magnification given by the phototube, but I decided to try a simple PS stack (7-8 images only).

this one is the best I menaged to do, it's not bad in my opinion.

8 images. here some strange colour side effects occured (magenta and cyan), there were no colours like that on any image, they showed up after stacking - why? maybe the diatom moved a little?

I have seen Photoshop make such color changes even when the subject clearly did not move and other stacking software processed the same stack with no such changes.

In CS5, the Auto-Blend Layers window has a checkbox labeled "Seamless Tones and Colors". You might try removing the checkmark in that box.

thank you (: When I'm able to take sharp images I will buy ZS, now it is just a play.

I have used a blast from the past here - CS4...

I don't remember CS4. Does it have anything like the "Seamless Tones and Colors" checkbox?

thanks

I unmarked the "Seamless Tones and Colors" checkbox (bottom image) but the final result is even worse. Single images were of quite bad quality so I don't blame software for that result (;
