Hi,
I recently stumbled across PhotoAcute (www.photoacute.com). It's available for free trial but I was wondering if anyone has tried it and/or has any comment. Googling just reveals a list of shareware sites and searching the forum here turned up nothing for me.
Basically it claims to produce a single higher resolution and/or lower noise image from several shots of the same scene, which seem quite interesting for low light photography or when you need high resolution images (Alamy anyone?). It claims to perform the required aligning so you don't have to use a tripod. It also supports lens distortion correction, but in this area looks inferior to DxO (in the "supported list" if nothing else).
Any views?

Well, it works using a multiple-image sequence of the same scene, so it's not DPC-legal except in expert editing; I can tell you that much. I haven't downloaded it to try it, although I may just for the heck of it.

| It should definitely work. You'll need four frames or so to really see a difference. Movement in the frame (branch motion, etc.) can also play havoc with the results. I don't know if the software tries to compensate or not; rudimentary compensation (masking) would not be that hard, just computationally intensive. |
