From the web site:
PICOLAY is a tool for generating improved images from picture series on Windows.
The program has been written by Heribert Cypionka and can be used freely for non-commercial purposes.
The program is offered 'as is' without any warranty. Main features PICOLAY are:
The smallest and fastest stacking program.
Can be run without any installation, e.g. from an USB stick etc.
Produces combined pictures by selecting sharp areas from a series of images taken at different focus levels (a so-called z-stack).
Makes the three-dimensional structure of an object visible by means of a 2-d colour maps or 3-D projections or true stereo images.
Allows to optimise images parameters like size, colours, sharpness etc.
Sets white balance, or flat-field background etc.
