| Focus stacking | CombineZP combines focused areas from multiple photographs into an image with greater depth of field. | Enfuse can blend a focus stack to build images with extended depth of field. |

| Purpose | The repository preserves CombineZP, whose original code was made by Alan Hadley and shared under the GPL. | Enfuse is a command-line program that merges different exposures of the same scene into an image without first creating an HDR image. |
| Support | The opened repository and product pages do not describe a support channel. | The project support page says it has not indicated a best way to get help and lists mailing lists and discussion forums as other support options. |

In their own words
CombineZP
CombineZP is a Windows focus-stacking program that combines focused regions from multiple photographs into an image with greater depth of field. Its documented methods include Do Stack and Pyramid Maximum Contrast. It provides quick and thorough image alignment, with rotation correction in thorough alignment. Batch processing can stack images, and users can adjust memory use for image sets that demand more from the computer. Macro parameters are editable for additional control over close-up stacking. JPEG is the documented output format. The program is free and the repository identifies its license as GPL-3.0. The repository preserves code originally created by Alan Hadley and shared under the GPL; it contains CombineZ5 and combineZP directories, a README, a license file, and an installer. The README refers to a compiled Windows x86 version 1.0, updated January 27, 2012, in a file named combinezp.msi. The repository says it is kept for posterity, lists no published releases, and a microscopy tools page describes the software as not maintained. Windows is the listed platform; a third-party microscopy tools page also says it works with Wine on Linux.
