Your last two posts seem to be about one image. I assume you have more than one to combine via hugin.
So when I asked about the different exposures across the multiple original images, I think that was important. I don't see any answer. I'm still guessing that hugin is adjusting the exposures to eliminate that differences in original exposure across the images, and that is where the highlights are lost, meaning 4 bits added (to the original 12) are not enough to bridge the exposure differences. You seem to have already figured out that a different conversion from raw to tiff would result in protecting those highlights from subsequent destruction. I know far less about Rawtherapee than you know. So my terminology is likely wrong. But logically, a less linear mapping in the original conversion from 12 bits to 16 bits would provide the extra room to protect the highlights from the subsequent adjustment (that normalizes exposure between photos). -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
