Stacking Software Advice

[DigiDiva]

I am wanting to know if there's any stacking software that I can buy suitable for a Power Mac (obviously PPC processor). The one you can buy now are not compatable but I would be happy to buy 'old', used software.

Any ideas anyone?

Helicon do stacking software for Macs (Requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher), It's an excellent bit of software, but not too sure of price. Doubt if your Mac is up to it.

I know CS5 & CS6 will do stacking, can't remeber if CS4 will do it.

Have a look in PH CS3, on the EDIT menu is there an auto align or auto align layers option (maybe grayed out). If so you can do it in CS3 or even from bridge.

There is an auto align.....

Then you can use that to stack in CS3. The better way is to use bridge to select all the photo's you wish to stack. From bridge once selected Tools > Photoshop > Load into photoshop layers. Seletct all your layers once in PS then EDIT > Auto Align. The rest is up to which options best suit you.
