Hi Yuv, The biggest advantage I see in blending first is just how much use you can get out of the blended exposure layers. Since I generate them for each project, it makes things simpiler to use them in the enfusion. Some examples: 1) Use layers in gimp to remove movement of faces by overlay faces from nominal exposure layers like in this example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rueike/5306085871/ 2) Using the exposure layers for hdr layers to overlay with the enfusion for better contrast 3) Using various exposure layers overlayed and masked in gimp for improved dynamic range. This examples uses both 2 & 3: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rueike/5046727075/ 4) Running enfuse offline, experimenting with exclusion of layers and adjusting weightings for better results.
I also convinced myself that blended then fused gives better results than fused then blended in this example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rueike/4321371747/ Regards, Rick On Jan 1, 11:33 pm, Yuval Levy <[email protected]> wrote: > On January 1, 2011 07:03:16 am RueiKe wrote: > > > I just wanted to report back with my latest attempt with 2010.4. > > Thanks for the report, Rick. > > > I have gone through 2 cases making sure I did not optimize translation > > and everything worked fine! > > Sometimes less is more, isn't it?
