Hi Erik, I sort of agree with you although Reinhard's "photographic" operator gives a similar result to enfuse in many cases.
While we are on this topic, I have been playing with the idea of using 3 14bit bracketed RAW exposures and extracting 2 8bit tiffs from each, using dcraw -b, as an alternative to taking 6 bracketed jpegs. The enfused result seems similar in both cases. Does anyone else do this as an alternative to RAW --> 16bit tiff --> exr --> tonemap? Peter.
