--- name: "enfuse-mp" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "enfuse" version: "4.1.3+dfsg-2" release: "Debian 8 (Jessie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/enfuse" --- # enfuse-mp(1) poor man's HDR Part of [enfuse(1)](/enfuse/1.md). ## NAME enfuse - poor man's HDR ## SYNOPSIS **enfuse** \[*options*\] \[*--output=IMAGE*\] *INPUT*... ## DESCRIPTION Fuse INPUT images into a single IMAGE. INPUT... are image filenames or response filenames. Response filenames start with an "@" character. ### Common options: - **-V**, **--version** output version information and exit - **-h**, **--help** print this help message and exit - **-l**, **--levels**=*LEVELS* limit number of blending LEVELS to use (1 to 29); negative number of LEVELS decreases maximum; "auto" restores the default automatic maximization - **-o**, **--output**=*FILE* write output to FILE; default: "a.tif" - **-v**, **--verbose**\[=*LEVEL*\] verbosely report progress; repeat to increase verbosity or directly set to LEVEL - **-w**, **--wrap**\[=*MODE*\] wrap around image boundary, where MODE is "none", "horizontal", "vertical", or "both"; default: none; without argument the option selects horizontal wrapping - **--compression**=*COMPRESSION* set compression of output image to COMPRESSION, where COMPRESSION is: "deflate", "jpeg", "lzw", "none", "packbits", for TIFF files and 0 to 100, or "jpeg", "jpeg-arith" for JPEG files, where "jpeg" and "jpeg-arith" accept a compression level - **--layer-selector**=*ALGORITHM* set the layer selector ALGORITHM; default: "all-layers"; available algorithms are: "all-layers": select all layers in all images; "first-layer": select only first layer in each multi-layer image; "largest-layer": select largest layer in each multi-layer image; "no-layer": do not select any layer from any image; - **--parameter**=*KEY1\[=VALUE1\]\[*:KEY2\[=VALUE2\]\[:...\]\] set one or more KEY-VALUE pairs ### Extended options: - **-b** BLOCKSIZE image cache BLOCKSIZE in kilobytes; default: 2048KB - **-c**, **--ciecam** use CIECAM02 to blend colors; disable with "--no-ciecam" - **--fallback-profile**=*PROFILE-FILE* use the ICC profile from PROFILE-FILE instead of sRGB - **-d**, **--depth**=*DEPTH* set the number of bits per channel of the output image, where DEPTH is "8", "16", "32", "r32", or "r64" - **-g** associated-alpha hack for Gimp (before version 2) and Cinepaint - **-f** WIDTHxHEIGHT\[+xXOFFSET+yYOFFSET\] manually set the size and position of the output image; useful for cropped and shifted input TIFF images, such as those produced by Nona - **-m** CACHESIZE set image CACHESIZE in megabytes; default: 1024MB ### Fusion options: - **--exposure-weight**=*WEIGHT* weight given to well-exposed pixels (0 \<= WEIGHT \<= 1); default: 1 - **--saturation-weight**=*WEIGHT* weight given to highly-saturated pixels (0 \<= WEIGHT \<= 1); default: 0.2 - **--contrast-weight**=*WEIGHT* weight given to pixels in high-contrast neighborhoods (0 \<= WEIGHT \<= 1); default: 0 - **--entropy-weight**=*WEIGHT* weight given to pixels in high entropy neighborhoods (0 \<= WEIGHT \<= 1); default: 0 - **--exposure-mu**=*MEAN* center also known as MEAN of Gaussian weighting function (0 \<= MEAN \<= 1); default: 0.5 - **--exposure-sigma**=*SIGMA* standard deviation of Gaussian weighting function (SIGMA \> 0); default: 0.2 - **--soft-mask** average over all masks; this is the default - **--hard-mask** force hard blend masks and no averaging on finest scale; this is especially useful for focus stacks with thin and high contrast features, but leads to increased noise ### Expert options: - **--exposure-cutoff**=*LOWERCUTOFF\[*:UPPERCUTOFF\[:LOWERPROJECTOR\[:UPPERPROJECTOR\]\]\] LOWERCUTOFF and UPPERCUTOFF are the values below or above of which pixels are weighted with zero weight in exposure weighting; append "%" signs for relative values; default: 0%:100%:anti-value:value - **--contrast-window-size**=*SIZE* set window SIZE for local-contrast analysis (SIZE \>= 3); default: 5 - **--gray-projector**=*PROJECTOR* apply gray-scale PROJECTOR in exposure or contrast weighing, where PROJECTOR is one of "anti-value", "average", "l-star", "lightness", "luminance", "pl-star", "value", or "channel-mixer:RED-WEIGHT:GREEN-WEIGHT:BLUE-WEIGHT"; default: "average" - **--contrast-edge-scale**=*EDGESCALE\[*:LCESCALE\[:LCEFACTOR\]\] set scale on which to look for edges; positive LCESCALE switches on local contrast enhancement by LCEFACTOR (EDGESCALE, LCESCALE, LCEFACTOR \>= 0); append "%" to LCESCALE for values relative to EDGESCALE; append "%" to LCEFACTOR for relative value; default: 0:0:0 - **--contrast-min-curvature**=*CURVATURE* minimum CURVATURE for an edge to qualify; append "%" for relative values; default: 0 - **--entropy-window-size**=*SIZE* set window SIZE for local entropy analysis (SIZE \>= 3); default: 3 - **--entropy-cutoff**=*LOWERCUTOFF\[*:UPPERCUTOFF\] LOWERCUTOFF is the value below of which pixels are treated as black and UPPERCUTOFF is the value above of which pixels are treated as white in the entropy weighting; append "%" signs for relative values; default: 0%:100% - **--save-masks\[**=*SOFT-TEMPLATE\[*:HARD-TEMPLATE\]\] save weight masks in SOFT-TEMPLATE and HARD-TEMPLATE; conversion chars: "%i": mask index, "%n": mask number, "%p": full path, "%d": dirname, "%b": basename, "%f": filename, "%e": extension; lowercase characters refer to input images uppercase to the output image default: "softmask-%n.tif":"hardmask-%n.tif" - **--load-masks\[**=*SOFT-TEMPLATE\[*:HARD-TEMPLATE\]\] skip calculation of weight maps and use the ones in the files matching the templates instead. These can be either hard or soft masks. For template syntax see "--save-masks"; default: "softmask-%n.tif":"hardmask-%n.tif" Enfuse accepts arguments to any option in uppercase as well as in lowercase letters. ## AUTHOR Written by Andrew Mihal and others. ## REPORTING BUGS Report bugs at \. ## COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2004-2014 Andrew Mihal.
