Live stacking parameter reference

Fast initialization if set, the chosen stack count will be reduced internally during the initialization of the quality algorithm, in order to speed up things until the quality algorithm is fully operating. Then the original stack count will be used.
Continous reference Normally, the quality algorithm is initialized once at the beginning of a live stacking session, and the gathered data are then used until the process is stopped. By activating this option, the internal quality data will be updated continously after each stack. It is recoomeded to keep the default setting (off). Use with caution only in special circumstances.
Stack count amount of frames to accumulate for each stack. Changing this parameter will not act immediately, it will be considered from the next stack onward.
Quality limit threshhold for accepting frames. The current setting is indicated in the quality graph as red line.
Quality adaptation the quality algorithm follows a semi absolute approach, so in bad seeing circumstances, the maximum reachable quality will be lower compared to a run in good conditions. With the quality adaptation parameter, the amount of 'relativeness' can be adjusted. Raising it increases the relative portion, to use up more of the available 0-100% range, lowering it reduces the relative portion towards a pure absolute value. The parameter is provided to have an adjustment option for exeptional cases, usually it just can be left at the default value 1.0
