CLUSTER DYNAMIC-HIGH-IMAGES · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-11-16

HDR and focus stacking photo tools

This cluster consists of applications that merge multiple photographs or bracketed exposures to produce high dynamic range images, tone-mapped output, or increased depth of field. The dated history before the index is too thin to read a shape from — only four dated entries exist, so the cluster likely predates the index or many members are undated. Traction leaders are all at zero stars (Open 100x, Photomatix, Macrofusion), meaning no clear traction leader emerges from the provided activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
