Hello world!

I had an idea concerning Fcam or more accurately an idea for an application that would take advantage of the API and some parts of the code of the HDR and/or panorama applications.

The idea is multifocus composite image to take multiple pictures of the same target and match them on top of each other. The point is that each shot would be taken with different focus level. The user could define the number and interval / min-max values of the steps.

Then there would be al least two options of what to do with these photos.



* Option one would be to form a one composite sharp picture like above.

* Option two would be to for a some kind of dynamic focus image (just made that "term" up). I dont know the technical solution or package format for this but the idea is that you would have an image that you could dynamically change the focus level while watching it. The UI for this focus changing could be e.g. a slider bar, mouse wheel or just sliding your finger on the touch screen... or whatever.

So what do you think folks?
Is it an idea worth exploring further?
