Re: [hugin-ptx] PyImageFuser 0.5.0 released

[J. Schneider*]

Hello,
I really like PyImageFuser because it makes exposure fusion really
simple. But: When it doesn't give a good result with default parameters,
I can't see anything change when changing the parameter sliders (and
regenerating the preview).
I'm using the Windows version.
What's wrong? Do I have to do anything else for changed parameters to
take effect?

Best regards, Joachim

Hi,

PyImageFuser is a Python3 PySimpleGUI program to exposure fuse
bracketed images, reduce noise in stacks and do focus stacking. It
uses align_image_stack and enfuse to accomplish this.

github: https://github.com/hvdwolf/PyImageFuser
Releases: https://github.com/hvdwolf/PyImageFuser/releases

In 2009-2010 I wrote ImageFuser in Applescript and released that as a
bundled app for MacOS (MacOS/X at that time). After leaving MacOS for
Linux, I also wrote KImagefuser for Linux, but the used Kommander
scripting died.
In the past couple of  weeks I wrote PyImageFuser: a GPLv3 Python3 GUI
frontend for enfuse and align_image_stack (both GPLv2), written
in/using PySimpleGUI. (The tkinter based version)

Why did I write PyImageFuser? Why not use a few scripts, Hugin or Lux
(pv) for the same purpose? Or use builtin camera/phone HDR options?
- Well, I do use 3 scripts for enfuse and align_image_stack (and lux
and align_image_stack) but they do not allow much tweaking.
- Hugin is for me an excellent panorama tool, but it's like using a
70+ functions swiss army knife when you only need a toothbrush and a
toothpick. Next to that: it doesn't give an as flexible option to
tweak align_image_stack and enfuse if you do not know all command line
options from the top of your head.
- Lux (pv) also does an excellent job, but is also more aimed at
"live" panorama making and I still can't get used to the interface.
Tweaking options for exposure blending are (for me) more difficult,
and align_image_stack, when needed, can only be used from the command
line.
- Cameras simply lack the CPU-power to do a good exposure bracketing
and completely lack the power for aligning images. Phones nowadays
have horse power enough to do both on sets of 3 images, but lack
features and still have small sensors.
- And finally: Very simple, I could do it (and even very simple using
PyimpleGUI) and I wanted to have something "dedicated" for this kind
of work.

I privately only use Linux and Chromebooks. Business wise I use
Windows. Occasionally I touch a Mac. All those systems have their own
shortcut/keyboard combinations, which I by now don't use anymore.
PyImageFuser is only meant for exposure bracketing, noise reduction
and focus stacking using a conventional user interface ;).

If you are interested in PyImageFuser
 you can download
it from the Releases
 page. It still
needs further tweaking (and undoubtedly bug fixing and platform
"hardening"), but it does what I want it to do.

Hi,

It is hard to say. It can be that your (old) image is not entirely correct.
This error occurs when some of the blocks being read of the image is not
correct.
It is supposed to be corrected by adding
"ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True"
to the code. I did that but can't reproduce the error.
Can you please share your images? Or the image that gives the error?

best,
Harry

Hi Harry,

Yes I have used the Contents/MacOs directory before to get an application to 
run properly … but I hadn’t thought about testing PyImageFuser that way.

But … I gave it a try from terminal and received:

…..-MBP MacOs % ./PyImageFuser &
[1] 31277
…..-MBP MacOs % 
[1]  + killed ./PyImageFuser

Just after the 31277 was listed a pop-up window gave the same error about Py 
being damaged.

Re: [hugin-ptx] PyImageFuser 0.5.0 released

[Harry van der Wolf]

Hi Don,

Thanks for taking a look at it.
For now I have no idea what is going wrong as I have no experience
whatsoever with an M1.

The app is actually a kick-starter (built with pyinstaller) calling python
and necessary plugins and then starting the main script. This all with
necessary libs included, but no system libs. And this all bundled in a Mac
bundled app.
Your M1 system might support the kickstarter and the x86 python packaged
with it, but maybe my x86_64 package expects x86_64 libraries not on your
system.

I do not know how experienced you are with bundles and the command line. A
MacOS bundle is actually a special kind of folder structure.
If you open a terminal and go to the folder where you have the app.
Can you please cd into the app folder structure and start it "manually".

like:
cd PyImageFuser.app/Contents/MacOs
./PyImageFuser &

and see if you can start it from there.

best,
Harry

Harry, I have an M1 based MacBook Pro and I have Rosetta 2 install to simulate

Hi,

I now also added an Intel x86 MacOS bundle (stamped as 0.5.0.1). The only
modification (fix) is in relation to internal bundle PATHs.
As I do not have an M1 Mac, I can't build an M1 bundle, but the M1 does
simulate an x86_64 as still many packages have not yet been converted.

Hi David,

Sorry for my somewhat late reaction.  I had a Go Live of a project and we

There are armhf and amd64 packages:

Re: [hugin-ptx] PyImageFuser 0.5.0 released

[David W. Jones]

Hi, Harry!

Sounds fascinating and useful to me!

I went to the releases page, it mentions a pyimagefuser-0.5.0-amd64.deb 
package but only has links to an AppImage.


I don't do AppImages. Link for DEB package? I have Debian 11.

Hi,

PyImageFuser is a Python3 PySimpleGUI program to exposure fuse bracketed 
images, reduce noise in stacks and do focus stacking. It uses 
align_image_stack and enfuse to accomplish this.


github: https://github.com/hvdwolf/PyImageFuser 

Releases: https://github.com/hvdwolf/PyImageFuser/releases 



In 2009-2010 I wrote ImageFuser in Applescript and released that as a 
bundled app for MacOS (MacOS/X at that time). After leaving MacOS for 
Linux, I also wrote KImagefuser for Linux, but the used Kommander 
scripting died.
In the past couple of  weeks I wrote PyImageFuser: a GPLv3 Python3 GUI 
frontend for enfuse and align_image_stack (both GPLv2), written 
in/using PySimpleGUI. (The tkinter based version)


Why did I write PyImageFuser? Why not use a few scripts, Hugin or Lux 
(pv) for the same purpose? Or use builtin camera/phone HDR options?
- Well, I do use 3 scripts for enfuse and align_image_stack (and lux and 
align_image_stack) but they do not allow much tweaking.
- Hugin is for me an excellent panorama tool, but it's like using a 70+ 
functions swiss army knife when you only need a toothbrush and a 
toothpick. Next to that: it doesn't give an as flexible option to tweak 
align_image_stack and enfuse if you do not know all command line options 
from the top of your head.
- Lux (pv) also does an excellent job, but is also more aimed at "live" 
panorama making and I still can't get used to the interface. Tweaking 
options for exposure blending are (for me) more difficult, and 
align_image_stack, when needed, can only be used from the command line.
- Cameras simply lack the CPU-power to do a good exposure bracketing and 
completely lack the power for aligning images. Phones nowadays have 
horse power enough to do both on sets of 3 images, but lack features and 
still have small sensors.
- And finally: Very simple, I could do it (and even very simple using 
PyimpleGUI) and I wanted to have something "dedicated" for this kind of 
work.


I privately only use Linux and Chromebooks. Business wise I use Windows. 
Occasionally I touch a Mac. All those systems have their own 
shortcut/keyboard combinations, which I by now don't use anymore.
PyImageFuser is only meant for exposure bracketing, noise reduction and 
focus stacking using a conventional user interface ;).


If you are interested in PyImageFuser 
 you can download it 
from the Releases  
page. It still needs further tweaking (and undoubtedly bug fixing and 
platform "hardening"), but it does what I want it to do.

Best regards,
Harry

   Thanks Harry!

   I have some photos (not panoramas) for exposure stacking and will try
PyImageFuser with them, it arrived just in time!

  regards,

  Luís Henrique
