App: Burst Photo
Developer: Martin Marek
Genres: Photo & Video

Turn a burst of noisy images into a single image with reduced noise and improved colors.

■ Reveals hidden details
Unlike traditional denoising methods, stacking a burst of images can reveal detail that is not visible in any of the individual images.

■ Works with dynamic scenes
Unlike with long exposures or star trackers, this app allows you to stack handheld bursts of dynamic subjects (for example people).

■ Offline
Burst Photo will do everything locally on your computer so you don't need to worry about privacy.

■ Capturing images
The app relies on aligning and merging a burst of similar images. Ideally, try to capture at least 5 - 10 sharp images without significant movement between them. It is okay if you take the burst handheld or if a person moves slightly between the photos. However, try to avoid motion blur or significant movement between images (for example a person tilting their head or changing their smile).

■ Image format
If you have the free Adobe DNG Converter installed on your Mac, most RAW image formats are supported. Otherwise, only DNG is supported.
