there we go, great picture! to get away from the "dead insect" look, you could mount the ant a little so that its head doesnt lie on the ground. i use a little needle with a bit of wax on the tip to do that.you heat the wax, attatch it to the ant, voila :) While your at it, try to give it a nice underground/background.

How many pictures did you use? still combinezp?

What programm do you like better? Currently working on a stack of 65 pictures, ZS gets a little slow :)

mpke, just out of curiosity, what PC do you have? I have 1 GB of RAM (which i think is the limiting factor) on a 3 MHz CPU, and with a load of pictures ZS gets rather slow for me.
