I really like the "create hdr" feature in darktable. However, the lack of any alignment features in the tool (and therefore the requirement of a sturdy tripod) limits its applicability. Are there any plans to add such a feature?
Currently, the only way I'm aware of to create an hdr or other stacked image from imperfectly aligned images would be to: 1. non-destructively edit the raws 2. Export as a tiff or other non-raw format 3. Stitch or stack the tiffs with hugin 4. Export a final tiff or jpg from hugin. Of course, the major flaw in this workflow if you want to tweak something in the raw edit you essentially need to start all over again, obviating the value of the non-destructive editor. Ideally, one could 1. select a series of images for alignment 2. Call hugin or hugin-like code within darktable and perform the alignment 3. Save as a .dng or other non-destructive format the way the current hdr tool does 4. Perform futher edits in darktable on the stacked/aligned image Such a workflow would ideally also work for panorama stitching and stacking (like for astro work), in addition to hdr alignment. How ridiculous an idea is this? Are any such plans in the works? Am I missing a simple way to do this that already exist?
