This software is extremely useful, but quite specialized. It's not for everyone, so try out the demo first before you make an impulse purchase. I've obtained some really amazing results from composing a photograph on a tripod, and creating multiple exposures. Sky detail pulls in, while maintaining shadow detail. It really gives you an idea of what the hardware manufacturers next direction will be (after they get over the pixel race). If you're not into staging your images, and want action shots? Well, this puppy may not appeal to you then. But perhaps the image combining capabilities will produce some fun, if unplanned results. It's not feature happy, but it does what it's intended to do really well :-)
