Hi Folks,
I've come across an innovation that I'd like to share; Enfuse. It's currently in a beta stage of development, and a precomplied command line version is available for MS Windows, Mac users need to compile themselves. This pre-release version has some known issues, but I've been able to use it for evaluation with a maximum of 5 large images.
It is not an HDR application in the true sense, but it's an exposure blending application. It requires a number of (aligned) images with different exposure times as input, to span a larger dynamic range than can be captured in a single shot. The method used can also be applied to focus-stacking, which have yet to try out. The resulting exposure blended images look stunning, and more importantly they look very natural.
It also looks very good as a tool to extract the maximum image quality from a Raw file that is processed in e.g. 3 versions, one for the shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. The perfect alignment between the images is a given in such a scenario, and 'Enfuse' will take care of the per pixel blending, without the explicit need for blending masks.
