Tether Your Camera to a Computer

[JAS_Photo]

Has anyone tried this software? I am quite interested in the 'photo booth' application, live view and focus stacking aspects of it.

Hmm... very interesting. I've been using Nikon's Camera Control Pro with a dedicated netbook, but I like the look of this; especially the [apparently] seamless DoF stacking ability. 15 day free trial, here I come! Thanks for pointing this out raiven!

I downloaded this and gave it a basic test run and it seems to work well. I am going to be taking a portrait of the members on New Year's Eve as they arrive for dinner. Nothing elaborate- think the type of thing they do on the ships for all events.

So I need to just set up a test with my Sb900 and Sb600 to see if they will work in remote, etc. I plan to tether the camera and have a printer connected to the computer -this program seems to do basic editing or I can shoot jpeg in a portrait type mode- and print off the photos right away.

So I just have to do a dry run with all of that still plus I want to download the other two programs and try focus stacking just for fun.

Here's another that I like the look of, from onOne software (Genuine fractals, etc.)
