You mean when there are extra images that would otherwise be considered 
redundant. Surely in this case it would be useful to have a metric to 
choose which image is better than the other.

Remember if the extra data is not redundant it means that there is a seam 
somewhere that needs to be blended, so we have the same problem as before 
- you can't just arbitrarily favor the in-focus image or the blend will 
not look good.
