Processing Options

The Processing options dialog appears each time before starting the processing. You can either click Ok to proceed, or change the options.

Default settings are usually good for general shooting situations. So, if you're unsure of what the settings should be, just click Ok and give it a try.

Camera model and the focal length at which photographs were taken are displayed in the top left corner of the dialog. Camera model can be changed manually in Settings. For the cameras with interchangeable optics an additional selection list can appear. It is displayed when lens type cannot be detected automatically from EXIF data or a number of lenses have the same focal range.

Combined 2x output with superresolution
Normal operation of the program. The output is a single superresolution image resolved from a set of input photographs.

Combined 1x output (no superresolution, noise reduction only)
The resultant image size equals to the size of input photographs. This mode does not provide the superresolution, but is useful to greatly reduce noise with no loss in details.

Output individual aligned images
Only the highly precise alignment of the input images is performed in this mode.

Auto-crop output
Automatically trim output image to avoid artifacts on the edges.

Correct image geometry
The program will fix lens-specific geometry distortions, camera-model dependent.

Fix color fringing (chromatic aberrations)
Use this option if you see color fringing around contrast edges. Usually you'll want to leave this feature turned off, as it will slow-down the normal processing.

Expand dynamic range
This option makes sense for a series of exposure-bracketed photographs, where some objects are overexposed in some photographs and/or some objects are underexposed in other photographs. More useful results are produced when 'Equalize brightness' option is turned on.

Equalize brightness
Used to reveal the details in the shadows without overexposing bright areas.

Messages
Please pay attention to the message area below the progress bar. When attempting to perform an action that cannot be done with the current set of images (e.g. removing moving objects with just 2 photographs in the set) the corresponding message will appear in red.
