Absolutely, a tripod and a static motive is basically prerequisite for a successful result with this technique, so it definitely has its limitations.

I had not heard of this software before but am perfectly willing to give it a spin and see how it works. So thanks for the tip. Having read through the thread I'm still wondering though if in your proposed usecase maybe you would be better off using ISO-bracketing? I was pleased to notice this works well in modern cameras, generating two (max.) 0/+/– bracketed copies out of a single exposure, and including their respective raw files. This could well become the bracketingmode that I'll be using most.
