Hi Kay, Just to report back enfuse seems to work rather well for what I wanted to do. As an experiment I took: 5 jpegs at a high ISO and 1 tiff at the same High ISO (No RAW on my camera) Then I ran the 5 jpegs through enfuse with & without the options you suggested, which I discovered should be: --saturation-weight=0 --exposure-mu=.5 but only by chance (where do the logs go where I can read them?) The results, worst to best: 1 The 'worst' of the 5 jpegs (I assume smallest file size = least image information) 2 The 'best' of the 5 jpegs (I assume largest file size = most image information) [there was a slight but visible difference between these two] 3 The tiff [The tiff is quite noticeably better quality than the jpegs, but had a lot of noise] 4 the two fused images [Compared to the tiff, These were the obvious winners.] The fused images had quality similar to the tiff image, but they were much less noise without having the typical "smooth blurry" look some noise reduced images get. I could see no difference between the default settings and the setting you suggested (but my starting images weren't that great so . . . ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
