Description xstej70 2013-01-28 10:32:49 UTC
Focus peaking is a manual focus assist feature that shows the area of focus by detecting contrast on edges. The Sony NEX series is well known for its good implementation of this feature.

While checking focus on many images in light table, it would be a nice feature if there was an overlay showing areas in focus. An example is to be found in this discussion:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=cc48e10b2da22d51629b5ef7bd82ce2c&topic=56246.msg457442#msg457442

Quick research: The Magic Lantern firmware for Canon cameras apparently has this feature. Looking at the sources, it is probably located in src/zebra.c located here:
https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/src

Reproducible: Always

In digiKam 7.4.0, a first version of Focus Area Viewer is available in Light Table. It's not yet perfect, but it's a first start.
