| Fact | Aduku Stacker | OpenFocus |
|---|---|---|
| Command line | The focus-stacking engine also ships as a command-line tool with parameter flags for scripting batch processing. | A pip-installable headless CLI runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and returns exit codes 0, 1 or 2 for success, processing errors or usage errors. |
| Purpose | Aduku Stacker combines focus-bracketed photographs into one sharp image for macro, product, landscape, and microscopy photography. | OpenFocus aligns and fuses multi-focus image sequences into images with greater depth of field. |
| Retouching | Users can paint from aligned source frames, erase strokes, and undo or redo retouching; the app does not yet have a clone tool. | The retouch brush paints pixels from a source frame and automatically chooses the sharpest frame beneath the cursor. |
It suits photographers combining focus-bracketed images, including macro, product, landscape, and microscopy work. The command-line engine may also suit people scripting batch processing.
OpenFocus suits researchers, engineers, and image-processing professionals working with multi-focus image sequences. Its batch and command-line options may also suit users who need folder processing or scripted workflows.
