I'm just playing with Hugin, initially lured by the mention of doing focus stacking but I'd like to do some panoramas too. When stitching images together it's important that they've had as close to the same processing as possible. I guess you avoid partly cloudy days.
I don't know if there's a way to make dcraw do this, it seems like it would have to read all the input files (there may be 100 or so for focus stacking) to find the brightest point then process all the files to match. That would take huge amounts of memory, so storing statistics in a file during a first pass then making a second pass once it knows what to do would seem to be the best approach. My initial results from just converting to tiff individually then working with those haven't been bad, I just wondered if there's a more proper way to do it. Oh, and Hugin doesn't actually do much with focus stacking, but align_image_stack which comes with it and enfuse to blend them seems to be the way to go. So even if libraw has a multi-image capability I don't think align_image_stack uses it (or imports raws). I've got a first focus stack (only 5 images) at https://images.nikonians.org/galleries/data/26892/fused2.jpg -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ufraw-devel mailing list ufraw-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ufraw-devel
