Zerene Stacker Beta Testing Downloads
Looking for an explanation of how our “beta channel” works? See HERE for an explanation.
Note: Because these beta versions are downloaded relatively few times, they are sometimes not recognized as known good software by anti-malware packages. You may have to override your anti-malware's behavior of refusing to run unrecognized software.
If you have other security concerns about the beta installers, please see How To Validate A Download.
Current beta is:
- 64-bit Windows 11, 10, 8, 7: ZS-Win64-fullsetup-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.exe
Length 34015888 bytes
MD5 checksum 5ef1078496e2e4cf5862ba934132f221
SHA-1 checksum ae7a2938d2e2aa2e71b0961849069e2de486bd52
- 32-bit Windows 11, 10, 8, 7: ZS-Win32-fullsetup-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.exe
Length 49587888 bytes
MD5 checksum 040273066946315827fecf1938dad622
SHA-1 checksum 64222edb35e613029867223b382a532959c98d7f
- macOS (Intel cpu): ZS-MacOSX-SA-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
This is the recommended bundle for modern Intel Macs running macOS 10.14 or above. It is self-contained and includes its own Java 17 runtime environment.
Length 48,408,463 bytes
MD5 checksum 41bf1613f544fff7f900cdb22b7c100b
SHA-1 checksum 2d7228b4144846c8b1e56089776ff4169435d269
- macOS (M-series ARM cpu): ZS-MacOSX-ARM-SA-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
This is the recommended bundle for modern Macs with ARM cpu (“Apple silicon”). It is self-contained and includes its own ARM-native Java 17 runtime environment. Rosetta is required for the launch program and a few helper programs – so macOS will report the package as “Intel” – but all the heavy computation runs ARM-native.
Length 47,210,551 bytes
MD5 checksum 27eccb70eeafa99b7253653f2fc8e57b

- macOS (interim): ZS-MacOSXinterim-SA-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.zip, downloads as a .zip file that automatically expands into an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
This bundle is suitable for Macs running macOS 10.9 through 10.14. It is self-contained and includes its own Java runtime environment.
Length 52,553,755 bytes
MD5 checksum 8636f221ed664ece3d7cec30857e0fef
SHA-1 checksum f272421231366f31a3a329d4ec1bccbe15ff5a25
- Mac OS X (old): ZS-MacOSXold-SA-T2022-07-04-1214-beta.zip, downloads as an application bundle named ZereneStacker (.app).
This bundle is not self-contained. It requires a Java runtime environment installed by Apple, and will prompt for installation of Java if one is not already installed. It runs as 64-bit where the processor and operating system support it, and as 32-bit otherwise.

Note: On Macintosh and Linux, if you already have Zerene Stacker installed and are downloading a new version to update it, then you need to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it. Otherwise both versions will continue to be available, and you will run whichever one you happen to click on. For further information, see the FAQS on “Installing and Updating”. On Mac, when trashing out the old version, do NOT allow any third party uninstaller or cleanup applications like “AppCleaner” to run. In their enthusiasm to eliminate files that they think are not used, they're likely to also delete files you really do need, like your license key and Zerene Stacker configuration files.
Improvements
Compared to the current full release T2022-04-21-0715 and the corresponding T2022-04-21-0715-beta, this new T2022-07-04-1214-beta incorporates the following improvements:
- New features:
- Added option to specify display monitor profile when color managing screen images.
- Batch > Slabbing automatically selects “Add new files as already aligned”.
- User interface:
- Diagnose size mismatch between source images and dust/defects mask image.
- Silently skip EXIF propagation if source image is not available at time of save.
- DMap contrast setting dialog rings bell when opened.
- “Uh-oh” popup notifications are suppressed if console log is already visible.
- “Uh-oh” popup notification references Options > View Console Log.
Please immediately inform support@zerenesystems.com if you encounter any difficulties or odd behavior with this beta version. Be sure to send a console log if appropriate – instructions for that are provided HERE.
