That's true, "photographic" is very good although it has it's limitations if the DR is too high. And I remember some strange magenta areas in gray clouds (but this could be a bug in the implementation). However, since the HDR tonemapper doesn't know what actually was shot it sometimes tries to brighten dark shadows where there isn't sufficient information causing heavy noise. This is by the very nature of an HDR file where there is no limit to tonal values. Hence a tonemapper must be adjusted any time and every automatic approach like histogram analysis etc. must fail in such cases. This is not the case for enfuse since it directly uses the shot images without intermediate HDR file. Hence it never will try to brighten shadows that are pitch dark even in the brightest image. This together with the computation times yields HDR creation and tonemapping (almost) useless for professional panorama creation. -- Erik Krause http://www.erik-krause.de --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
