Connie,
I didn't notice that it made any real difference in what order I took the photos or stacked them but it did take a bit to figure out how to use the program. After you load the pictures, you have to go to the "Macro" pull-down menu and select "Do Stack" and then wait for the program to finish. The first few times it didn't seem to work because I didn't do that step.
