Yes, image integration has been around for a long time and has even been done with film - without scanning! It can bring out features to dim to be readily seen because of film grain (or digital noise) can enhance resolution. What it does for film in regards to grain can be quite amazing. I use it in astro photography - every time. I use a free program called Registack to accomplish this "stacking". I shoot through 3 or 4 filters to a B&W CCD, perhaps 60 shots each filter (color) , stack them and assemble the 3 (or 4) resulting frames (layers) in Photoshop.
