Helicon Focus converter does well for Sonie raw and handles some exposure 
variation between shots. If I have 30 shots to stack, it is a lot easier to 
adjust to my liking after it has stacked the image rather than process each 
individual image, ugh.

I discovered my camera setting mistake causing missing pixels in ACR. 

Perhaps the raw files from some cameras may need that level of control?

To quote HeliconSoft:

"Helicon Focus Pro now has got another truly valuable feature ? it can process 
raw files in their native color space. It means that color balance and 
highlights clipping ? which are the most destructive operations of all the 
postprocessing/raw development ? can now be done after focus stacking is 
completed."
