From RAW frames to the final image.

Import and classify Light, Dark, Flat and Bias frames. Inspect calibration masters, preflight Light-frame quality and stack with Mean, Median, Winsorized Sigma Clipping or Linear-Fit Clipping.

Quality weighting, Drizzle 2×, rejection-map export, adjustable sigma, stellar registration, RGB balance and linear 16-bit or 32-bit TIFF output are included.

Calibrate optional Dark, Flat and Bias frames, align the Light sequence and combine it as LRGB, HOO, SHO/Hubble or RGB plus narrowband. Export 16-bit TIFF, 32-bit float TIFF or 32-bit float FITS.

Calibrate the sequence, detect the comet nucleus and register Light frames on its motion. Choose Mean or Median integration while preserving chronological capture order.

Combine a fixed-camera sequence with Lighten/Maximum, Mean, Comet Trail or Reverse Comet Trail. Smooth tapering creates a controlled bright head and fading tail.

Create Glow, diffraction spikes, Soft Flare and Ring Flare with automatic/manual star selection, Essential and Advanced controls, presets, masks, Effects Only output and a real-time preview.

Multiple layers can use different stars and effects, with independent visibility, order and opacity.

Blend a tracked sky with a foreground at original resolution. Automatic sky segmentation uses an ONNX model with a classical fallback; registration supports translation, similarity, affine, homography or local mesh warp.

Refine paired control points, positioning and masks; match exposure, color, local contrast and noise; protect stars; suppress halos; and choose edge-aware or multiband blending. The Quality Map identifies seam risk, doubled stars, halos, uncertain registration and noise discontinuities.

Estimate and remove uneven astronomical backgrounds with Structure Protection and an adjustable gradient-model preview. Use STF to inspect linear data without changing it, or MTF preview/export to create a controlled visible rendition. Polynomial and RBF extraction remain available as classical alternatives.

Continue directly from calibration or stacking into a dedicated astrophotography editor with Base/RAW development, stretch, color calibration, masks, Starless processing, history and layered star effects.

Align and average a tripod sequence to smooth water and clouds at full resolution. Choose Mean for a natural long-exposure effect or Median to reduce transient elements.

Merge the sharpest local detail from frames focused at different distances—designed for macro, product and landscape sequences.

Register repeated photographs of the same static scene and combine them with Mean or Median integration to reduce random noise.

Use Lighten/Maximum blending to combine the brightest pixels from multiple light-painting passes while preserving the fixed scene.

Align bracketed exposures through full-resolution exposure fusion. Select gentle, balanced or strong highlight recovery, work in 16-bit or 32-bit and start from 15 HDR looks.

Develop urban and suburban night brackets with dedicated highlight recovery, automatic exposure ordering and 32-bit tonal precision, then refine color casts, urban lights, structure, haze and gradients.

Find overlaps, estimate camera geometry and blend full-resolution photographs. Use Auto, Perspective, Cylindrical, Spherical, Collage or Fusion Pano Multi-row projection with Astro, Terrestrial and multi-row profiles.

Inspect correspondences, add control points, remove outliers, preview seams, normalize exposure and color, apply final RGB balance and choose Safe, Bounding or No Crop. Auto-stretch affects the preview only—not linear output.

Develop RAW photography with complete tonal and color controls, local retouching, luminosity masks, non-destructive history, snapshots and full-resolution professional export.
