Greg,

Following up your suggestions...

I was able to run your scripts, but now I have more questions on what's
behind them.

1. I assume after combining raw images into one, I can analyze obtained hdr
image in Photosphere.

>> –r *cam.rsp*
Use the given file for the camera’s response curves.  If this file exists,
it must contain the coefficients of three polynomials, one for each color
primary.  If the file does not exist, hdrgen will use its principal
algorithm to derive these coefficients and write them out to this file for
later use.

2. So, if I will combine my images for the calibration scene, hdrgen will
derive the coefficients to the file. Is there a way to see those
coefficients and to know what the response curve looks like?

>>The -C option is to provide a linear factor to correct the overall
exposure based on previous calibrations.

3. How do I make the absolute calibration? Usually it is a luminance value
of a reflectance standard measured with luminance meter applied in
Photosphere. But how do I do it with the given script?

>>The -c option is to specify an output color space. The default is "sRGB"
which is actually linear CCIR-709 primaries. The only other output color
space I would recommend is AdobeRGB. There is a CIE XYZ space supported by
dcraw, but I have found it to be somewhat unreliable, and I don't know
where the fault lies in this.

4. In order to have luminance values Photosphere has an algorithm that does
color calculations from sRGB to CIE XYZ (standard illuminant D65), where Y
is the luminance value. Here I can specify an output color space, let's say
sRGB, but how would I get luminance values?
