Under Validation

Align a Nimslo / Nishika / RETO stack without Photoshop.

A planned local CLI that ORB-aligns 3–4 scanned frames, shows an overlay preview, crops the common viewport, and writes a GIF. Best-effort alignment you confirm — not a jitter-free guarantee. Waitlist only.

Concept validation only. No payment, no commitment, no recurring newsletter.

Proposed local workflow

None of these steps ship today. Signup is interest only.

01

Camera-specific stacks

v1 assumes 3 or 4 frames from Nimslo / Nishika / RETO, not arbitrary stereo pairs.

02

Preview before export

Overlay the aligned frames so you can reject a bad ORB match. No “perfectly smooth” claim.

03

On-device scans

Raw film scans stay on your machine. No cloud upload.

This is a product decision, not a finished product.

The concept is being validated before development time is committed. Joining tells us the problem is relevant to you and gives you first access if the evidence supports a build.

Questions, answered clearly.

The current scope, privacy model, and next step without launch-day promises.

Is a CLI downloadable now?

No. This is a concept-validation page. A beta would be local-only if demand clears the bar.

Will this beat Photoshop every time?

Unknown. Stereo disparity and dirty scans will fail some ORB matches. The preview is there so you can discard those.

Does this guarantee the intended outcome?

No. Alignment is best-effort computer vision. You keep the final crop and timing decisions.

What happens when I request access?

Your email is recorded for this experiment only. You receive one relevant update or beta invitation if the concept moves forward.
