Frame selection can vary by capture, and the page gives a default range of 15–80%; listed finishing tools include a chromosphere rim, halo cleanup, north-up rotation, and heliographic grids. The download instructions say Python and its libraries are bundled, with 8 GB of memory or more recommended.
