SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I just checked what I use: Depth map (B) Radius 8, Smoothing 4. I never change it. You have to go through each image cloning in the background where it is in focus then manually complete in Photoshop/Lightroom using the cloning tool. It is time-consuming. I've given up pointing out the ubiquitous stacking errors. Some voters don't seem to mind. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • And you have to do the same for the background otherwise you get these sort of halos/patterns. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You're throwing away a lot of what Helicon can do by sticking to the default settings and going straight to cloning. Here's the workflow I found most effective so far: 1) make several outputs with different settings (usually method B with a 4 to 20 radius, but sometimes also method C); 2) combine the best features of each output (with the 'Use other output as source' option mentioned above); 3) clean up the background by sourcing it from a single frame (usually Helicon sources it from multiple frames, messing up the bokeh); 4) clone any lingering errors (sometimes within Helicon, but most often using Photoshop's better tools) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
