StackScore, Retouch masks, mini-slabs, and more!

Version 2026.10.10

This might be my most exciting release yet! Some BIG things I’ve been working on for a while. A new StackScore, two powerful new Retouch tools, and plenty more.

StackScore: a grade for how well you shot your stack
Every stack now gets a score out of 100, in a new STACKSCORE section in the Editor. It grades your focus overlap, any frames that had to be dropped, how steady the camera was, and the light. You also get a chart of the overlap between neighboring frames, and a "Next time" tip. The grade shows in the Library too. One of my favorite new features!

Masking in Retouch: paint only on your subject or background
A new control on the Retouch toolbar keeps your painted strokes on just the Subject or Background. Great for fixing halos or working around fine detail!

Retouch: create mini-slabs
Pick frames in the Retouch filmstrip and click Stack slab. You get a small stack of just those frames to clone from. It's often cleaner than one frame, and better than the full stack in that spot.

Species ID now includes 100 identifications
I had to institute a limit because I pay for every identification and costs were getting a bit out of control! Your balance shows right in the Editor. Need more? Buy more gets you a pack of 100 for $10, and those never expire. The free trial includes 10.

Toggle the zoom in the painting tools by pressing "Z" or the Spacebar. Zoomed in, it goes to Fit and remembers your spot.

StackCheck notices have a "Don't show again" button, in case you don’t want to see those anymore.

Favorites got a "Collapse all" button, just like Folders.
