Field notes
The workflow begins with a session folder; the app counts frames, reads the target from the session, and suggests settings, with further options available. Its processing notes cover calibration frames, fractional-pixel alignment, outlier rejection, and memory use. The page also links to comparison material and a step-by-step guide for Origin images.
