New Focus Stacking, smarter photo series workflows, improved search, and faster retouching bring practical upgrades photographers will regularly use.<\/b><\/h3>\r\nBrno, Czech Republic<\/b> \u2013 Zoner Studio has released its Summer Update, introducing a major set of workflow-focused improvements designed to help photographers work faster, achieve more precise results, and reduce dependency on external plugins or additional software.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Photo Stacking Tools Become Part of the Workflow<\/b><\/h3>\r\nAt the center of the update is a redesigned set of <\/span>Photo Stacking Tools<\/b>, bringing workflows traditionally split across multiple apps directly into Zoner Studio. The new tools include <\/span>Focus Stacking, Exposure Bracketing, Panorama, Long Exposure, Animation, and Remove Moving Objects<\/b> \u2013 all connected to automatic photo grouping and faster series recognition.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201c<\/b>Photographers don\u2019t need more features built for marketing headlines. They need tools that genuinely improve everyday work with photos,<\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/b> said <\/span>Jan Kup\u010d\u00edk, <\/b>Product Manager at Zoner Studio.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201c<\/b>This update is about removing friction from real workflows \u2014 from sorting RAW libraries to stacking photo series and getting better final images without switching between tools.<\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nOne of the biggest additions is <\/span>Focus Stacking<\/b>, one of the most requested features among macro and product photographers. The tool combines multiple focus points into a single image with extended sharpness across the entire scene.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nPanorama<\/b> and <\/span>Exposure Bracketing<\/b> workflows also received significant quality and workflow improvements, while new <\/span>Autostack<\/b> and <\/span>Detect Stack<\/b> workflows can now automatically recognize related image series and significantly reduce manual preparation after importing.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Smarter Searching and Faster Organization<\/b><\/h3>\r\nThe update also introduces a redesigned search system built for large RAW libraries. Working across <\/span>all metadata<\/b> and improved grouping workflows, it makes sorting, filtering, and organizing large image sets significantly faster directly inside Zoner Studio.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Additional Workflow Improvements<\/b><\/h3>\r\nAdditional improvements include:<\/span>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Clever Retouching<\/b> for faster everyday cleanup and object removal,<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
  • an upgraded <\/span>Music Library<\/b> for video projects,<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t
  • and updated color processing designed to improve consistency across editing workflows.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    Availability<\/b><\/h3>\r\nThe Summer Update is available now as part of the <\/span>Zoner Studio subscription<\/b>, including a <\/span>7-day free trial<\/b>.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
