What Rekall Fusion is
Rekall Fusion is Windows software that aligns focus-stack frames and combines them into an image with sharpness from front to back. It can correct for shifts, rotation, exposure differences, and focus breathing, and offers depth map, pyramid, hybrid, and weighted-average stacking engines. For repeated frames of one scene, it can combine images using sigma clipping, median, or mean methods. Standard accepts JPEG, PNG, and TIFF input and exports 8-bit TIFF, PNG, or JPEG. Pro adds camera raw development, a non-destructive retouching brush, same-scene integration, the hybrid engine, 16-bit output, depth-map export, and a command-line tool for batch and scripted runs. Contribution masks can be used as layer masks in an image editor, and Pro supports EXIF passthrough. Standard costs $20 a year or 79.00 USD once; Pro costs $45 a year or 179.00 USD once. The full Pro build has a 14-day trial. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or Windows 11, .NET 10 desktop runtime, and at least 8 GB RAM.
