Calculate a "focus overlap" metric

Feature Request

@Wolf Amri suggested having the software show the user a metric of how much in-focus overlap they have in their frames. This could be used for things like:

  1. Tell them when they need MORE frames to get a better image

  2. Tell them when they have TOO MANY frames, and could set their camera to a bigger differential, or suggest that they remove frames with too much movement, lighting change, etc. and still get a good result.

    This has been implemented, and as part of a broader analysis that I’m calling StackScore. Check it out, let me know what you think!

    I really like this idea. I think it could be a very useful learning tool as well as helping with the actual stacking. It would be great to learn how much overlap is enough and when we are using more frames than we really need

    I like the idea. The functionality would basically be a “feedback” loop for getting better at guessing the differential needed in the camera focus bracketing programs. Very good idea.
