# pfs\_automerge(1)

Script for scanning all subdirectories of a given directory and merging RAW files into HDR images

## NAME

pfs\_automerge - Script for scanning all subdirectories of a given directory and merging RAW files into HDR images

## SYNOPSIS

**pfs\_automerge**
 \[--**align**\|-**a**\] \[--**dest** \<dir\>\|-**d** \<dir\>\] \[--**format** (exr\|hdr)\|-**f** (exr\|hdr)\]

## DESCRIPTION

This command can be used to mass-merge multiple HDR images from RAW files, 
 where each exposure stack is stored in a separate directory. pfs\_split\_exposures
 can be used to automatically group RAW images into individual directories.

## OPTIONS

\--**align**, -**a**
 When set, the images will be aligned with pfsalign before merging.
 --**dest** \<dir\>, -**d** \<dir\>
 Write merged HDR images into the directory \<dir\>. Default: "merged".
 --**format** (exr\|hdr)\|-**f** (exr\|hdr)
 Store HDR images in OpenEXR format (exr) or Radiance RGBE (hdr). Default: "exr".
