# jpeg2hdrgen(1)

Parse EXIF information in given JPEG files and output a hdrgen script for generation of HDR images.

## NAME

jpeg2hdrgen - Parse EXIF information in given JPEG files and output a hdrgen script for generation of HDR images.

## SYNOPSIS

**jpeg2hdrgen** \<file1.jpg\> \[\<file2.jpg\>...\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program can be used to automatically create a hdrgen script for use with software creating HDR images. The exposure information is extracted from EXIF data contained in jpeg images created using digital cameras.

If this script doesn't recognise the exposure settings from the images taken by your camera, send me an output of a \`jhead your\_image.jpg\` program.

## EXAMPLES

- jpeg2hdrgen IMG\_0001.JPG IMG\_0002.JPG IMG\_0003.JPG \> sample.hdrgen

  Creates a sample.hdrgen script for given images.
