Hi Don, Very interesting, CombineZ 5 appears to have done a very good job here, this opens up many possibilities. Layering images manually is a bit tedious and error prone and I'd never even consider layering 21 images manually. Does the application also compensate for small lateral shift, magnification and rotation errors?
