I think it would need to be more like 5 frames - the four sensor readouts plus a frame-map detailing which pixels composite and which do not. If the frame-map could be manipulated as if it was a mask, a lot of options could open up. Especially if one could specify which source-frame to use, not just an 'all' or 'one' but 'here use the first two' and 'there use the first and last' and 'overthatway use frames 1, 2 -and- 3 but not 4'. That kind of thing should be comparatively simple to implement in a raw-processor; it's just a specialized layer handler. If it was approached that way - so the PS raw file is more like a container for the 4 base raw files plus the mask-map, then it should also be possible to process each of the base files individually. It would also be possible for software to auto-create an alternative mask-map with adjusted parameters regarding movement, etc. It was mentioned that the movement compensation was on/off - imagine having it as a dynamic slider so you could apply just enough to avoid artifacts and no more. The flexibility would seem to be maximized with this strategy.
I'm looking at it as a computer programmer, though, not a photographer - I have comparatively minuscule experience in PP.
