Maybe my terminology is wrong. The way I understand it, enfuse does two different things: look at intensities and colour of single corresponding pixels (--exposure-weight and --saturation-weight) and/ or look at contrast and entropy in a definable neighbourhood (-- contrast-weight and --entropy-weight). I was using the term 'exposure fusion' to refer to the first group of criteria and 'focus stacking' for the second. To me the first bunch lends itself to the technique described in the enfuse manual under 7.3.2. Common Misconceptions: "A single image cannot be the source of an exposure series. Raw-files in particular lend themselves to be converted multiple times and the results being fused together. The technique is simpler, faster, and usually even looks better than digital blending (as opposed to using a graduated neutral density filter) or blending exposures in an image manipulation program. Moreover, perfect alignment comes free of charge!" It seems to me that this technique would not produce images with different local contrast that would be useful input for a stack of the second type, using contrast or entropy weighting. But I think the original post is refering to this technique. Kay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
