I see HDR as a way to get the same image with a dynamic range not achievable through hardware limitations. I've still got to sit down and have a go at this but the the theory anyway Then apply a laye mask to the enfused image and mask in cetain parts of the photomatix one with various transparency to add some of the detail punch you get in photomatix (however i feel its always too much in photomatix alone so i think possibly taking a more neutral well graded base from enfuse and then blending in the good parts from the photomatix process but leaving out the horrible stuff might work nicely Process the same set of brackets in both enfuse and photomatixĬomplete the bulk of the processing on the enfused image in lightroom My concept of using photomatix integrated with enfuse goes like this So all up its not as expensive as you might think! Now its a pretty big program and takes some leaning I highly recommend this book its well structured and easy to understand
Lightroom is only like $180 for the full version if you are a student or know a student you can buy the student version which is probably only half that (dont get the lightroom cost confused with the hyper price of photoshop or the creative suiteĭamn just checked to give you a link and its under $110! for the student version. Just experienced a crash, while processing 3 RAW Files I exported another one from LR as a JPEG.might be coincidence.Īfter that I wasn't able to enfuse these 3 RAWs, I then tried other RAWs which worked well, restarted LR a couple of times and after a while I could enfuse the 3 Raws where Enfuse crashed on me before.I use LR enfuse is donationware so i think if you donate 10 pounds you can get the full functioning version
I use LR 4.3 and have an i7 -3610QM processor It still shows "Enfuse 4.21" as version number, which I donated for. now comes the huge "but".you can't activate the Picture Auto Aligne option or Enfuse will crash! Keep it turned off and (at least in my case) it'll work now your "bin" folder in L/R enfuse should contain four files, "enblend", "enfuse", "align_image_stack.exe" and "vcomp110.dll"
replace the "enfuse.exe" with the one from the RAR file go to it's "bin" folder and copy both the EXE and the DLL files into the "bin" folder of the L/R Enfuse folder
now, download this RAR file and open it this will create a "bin" folder inside L/R Enfuse's installation folder download the Apps for Single Core CPU use
choose a set of pictures and start the Enfuse dialog
first install L/R Enfuse as usual, place the folder somewhere and load it into Lightroom This is what I did.but there's a huge "but": Thanks to some people of the German DSLR-Forum I could get L/R Enfuse back running for me. I'm obviously rather limited by that fact that Enfuse itself isn't my baby - the plugin is just a nice interface between it and LR. I wonder if downloading the latest official version of Enfuse ( Download) and pointing Enfuse to that will help.
The logs that you send in your mail suggest that Enfuse successfully loads 3 images, but then quits without an explanation. Every other case I've seen like this has been resolved using the single processor version of Enfuse. That aside, in this particular case I'm at a complete loss. I'm very fortunate in that the guys on this site can often respond to requests quicker than I can, or tell me about frustrated users on here In this case I've just looked for your emails and it appears that they were all sent less that 24 hours ago. The reality of the situation is that I'm a single individual with a very full workload and 2 time-consuming kids, so sometimes I don't get to response as quickly as I'd like. View attachment LREnfuse_log.txtįirst of all let me say that I do try very hard to response to emails as quickly as I can. Sent 5 emails to, , and to blog - did not get answer.
