Using only/entirety of (last with significant focus) frame for out of focus

A big challenge for all stacking programs is edges of flowers, leaves, stem. I generally see artifacts here, which I believe arise from combinations of different out-of-focus choices for background. By identifying the ‘deepest background’ with significant in-focus material and applying that to all areas for which no good focus exists, a sharp, realistic border could be created around areas of interest, and would approximate what an eye sees.

***Not sure how to deal with the fact that some OOF is in FRONT.

    I’m going to wrap this into a broader workstream I’m doing around background quality. I’m seeing some stacks with noisy backgrounds or with artifacts, and I want to improve the algorithm to handle those automatically.
