Imagine a photo where a person or object (like a boat or car) was moving while you took that shot. Below those are some buttons to play with the ghosting. It makes it unnecessary to use this plug-in unless you have an older version of Lightroom (pre-Lightroom CC) or want exposure fusion.In almost all cases you’ll want to have the Auto-align and Auto-settings checked. LR/Enfuse was mainly made back in the hay day when Lightroom did not have HDR feature.
It still is nowhere near the results I have gotten when using Photomatix for my HDR images.Īlso note that you need to make a donation to lift limitations on the plug-in which restrict image sizes to 500px. Just realized that what this plug-in is doing is exposure fusion which takes the best parts of the images and combines them. Next, the images I was producing looked like what Lightroom produces without auto tone checked. You need to constantly re-run the plug-in to view the results. That is important if you want to be able to tweak how the intermediate 32-bit HDR images will turn out before it is exported out as a 16-bit TIFF file or 8-bit JPG file.įirst, there is no previews to view how the images will look. While Enfuse does have the ability to set certain weights for contrast, saturation and exposure, it does not have any options to do manual tone mapping. There is not a whole lot of difference between the two. Whether there's an advantage to you really depends on your personal taste, and why you're performing HDR or fusing in the first place. And, depending on the software package and tonemapping algorithm you use, the default result of exposure fusing can often seen more natural than default HDR output, since the range of the values will never fall outside those of the source images. There are no special file formats involved, and no tonemapping. Enfuse allows for weighting of pixel values by contrast, saturation, or exposure, so it can not only do exposure fusing, but also tasks like focus stacking. This HDR image is then "tonemapped", where values are mapped back down into the LDR range to create a file that is directly viewable on most monitors.įusing, otoh, simply takes the individual pixel values of the images, and then combines them to form a pixel in the final image. What an HDR technique is doing is to remap the values of the set of images along a scale large enough to encompass the entire high dynamic range, and save it in a special HDR image file format. Photomatix, for example, performs both exposure fusing and HDR.
So, it's basically having another way of doing a similar task. Exposure fusing is a different technique of combining images than HDR algorithms.
