On thing I want to add in case it is not already clear. HDR we see on the net are not HDR per say. They are LDR images (like anything the camera shoots) that was processed to an HDR and then back to an LDR.
In short: Multiple exposures LDR => merging => HDR => Processing => LDR that we typically call HDR on the net. The steps you mention bring you to the HDR step, but you'll need to find something to do the processing to LDR Enfuse (part of hugin) does what some people call Exposure Fusion or Exposure Blending, which basically brings multiple LDR to a HDR style LDR without actually going through HDR. Like Bruno, I recommend you try the enfused output before. For doing the processing, I think one open source software is QTVGUI or something like that. It's on sourcefore. nick On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 7:50 AM, bruno.postle <[email protected]>wrote: > On Dec 3, 8:11 am, Luis <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > What I tried with the 2009.2, running on F11: > > > > 1) loaded two images, taken right after the other with only exposure > > changed > > 2) hit 'align'; was told the two images were out of alignment > > 3) poked around the images tab; found 'align image stack', which > > seemed more correct, and created control points with that. manually > > inspected the control points and they looked good. > > Yes, that should do it, though if this is a panorama, you need control > points between adjacent photos too. > > > 4) under 'exposure', selected 'custom parameters below' and selected > > exposure for both. > > You don't need to do this if the EXIF exposure was read correctly, > i.e. if each image in the stack has a different EV value in the Camera > and Lens tab. > > > 5) under 'stitcher', selected HDR merged and blended panorama, and > > tiff output, and hit 'stitch now'. > > > > What I got was a completely transparent tiff. :) > > No idea, you should see something in the preview window.
