Strata
In every landscape you've ever taken,you chose what goes soft:the flower — or the mountain.
Here's the fix: shoot a few frames, each focused at a different distance, and STRATA merges them into one photo that's sharp front to back — the near flower and the far peak, both. It all runs on your own computer, and your photos never leave it.

ONE FRAMESTRATA MERGEA real pair from the field: two RAW frames, Nikon Z 6 (24 MP) — one focused on the flowers, one on the peaks.
The problem
Open any old landscape in your archive and zoom in — you'll find a soft spot.
Even at f/16, when the flower is close and the mountain is far, no single shot can keep both sharp.
It's not your lens — it's the limit of depth of field. The fix is simple: combine a few shots into one.
Our principle
Two focus layers — near and far — merged into one photo.
STRATA suggests.
You decide.
STRATA reads your shots and proposes three ways to merge them — it never forces anything. You choose, and when you refine, you can see which shot every detail comes from before you keep it.
How it works
01
Drop in your folder of shots
02
Review the merge plan and approve
03
Refine by hand, then export
Alignment is computed on a temporary copy; your original pixels are never touched.
Full 16-bit quality, from RAW to export.
And what STRATA won't do
- It won't fix camera or tripod shake.
- It won't invent detail you didn't shoot.
- It doesn't promise magic — just a photo that's sharp front to back.
Your privacy
No cloud. No uploads. No AI trained on your work.
Activate your license once, then it verifies on your computer offline, every time you open it.
And if you cancel?
Your exported photos are plain TIFF and DNG files on your computer — they open in any program and stay yours forever. You pay for development and support, not for access to your own photos.
Real examples
Every photo here is from STRATA.
No stock photos, no renders — every photo here is STRATA's own output, straight from the app.
You shoot the scene; STRATA merges its focus layers into one photo.
What we believe
The photo belongs to the photographer
The software suggests; you decide
Your photos never leave your computer
Full 16-bit quality, no compromise
A beautiful photo is a decision, not an accident
A letter from the maker
Dear photographer,
STRATA has no investors, no ads, and no data to sell. Your subscription is what keeps it alive: it's how we add support for new cameras every year and improve the tools month after month. Less than the price of one filter a year.
And your photos never depend on the subscription: whatever you export stays as files on your computer forever, subscribed or not.
The price goes up as STRATA grows. Subscribe now and your price stays fixed for your entire first year.
— Ahmed Alshehhi, maker of STRATA
