<cite id="feat_1">[[#feat 1 back|Note 1:]] </cite> External plugins may allow the program to perform some tasks, such as noise reduction or lens distortion, that could not otherwise be done.

<cite id="feat_2">[[#feat 2 back|Note 2:]] </cite> Artweaver does not have scripting by default, but with the [http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?id=64,147,0,0,1,0 Lua Scripting Plug-In], you can add scripting to Artweaver using the [[Lua programming language]].

<cite id="feat_3">[[#feat 3 back|Note 3:]] </cite> There are two: the main page and the swap page.

<cite id="feat_4">[[#feat 4 back|Note 4:]] </cite> Helicon Filter does not implement layers, but it can insert frames and editable text, and objects from one photo can be brushed into the main photo.

<cite id="feat_5">[[#feat 5 back|Note 5:]] </cite> Although Helicon Filter does not support actual scripting, it is capable of storing and reusing sequences and settings of edits.

<cite id="feat_6">[[#feat 6 back|Note 6:]] </cite> If images are perfectly aligned, Picasa can create a Multi-Exposure Collage which effectively makes a simple HDR with little customization, though brightness has to be corrected afterwards with no bit depth increase.
