# pfsinme(1)

Read image files containing multiple exposures to be merged into an HDR image

## NAME

pfsinme - Read image files containing multiple exposures to be merged into an HDR image

## SYNOPSIS

**pfsinme \<file\> \[\<file\>\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Use this program to read multiple exposure JPEG or RAW images. The output of this command should be piped to *pfshdrcalibrate* to recover a camera response or merge images into an HDR image.

All listed files must be the same type, that is mixing JPEG and RAW images is not allowed. You can use wildcards.

This command is a convenience wrapper for *jpeg2hdrgen*, *dcraw2hdrgen* and *pfsinhdrgen*, which skips the step of generating an *hdrgen* file

## EXAMPLES

- pfsinme \*.jpg \| pfsrotate -r \| pfshdrcalibrate -s response.m -v

  Read all JPEG images in the current directory, rotate them and merge into an HDR image

## SEE ALSO

[**pfshdrcalibrate**(1)](/pfshdrcalibrate/1.md) [**jpeg2hdrgen**(1)](/jpeg2hdrgen/1.md) [**dcraw2hdrgen**(1)](/dcraw2hdrgen/1.md) [**pfsinhdrgen**(1)](/pfsinhdrgen/1.md)

## BUGS

The command cannot handle files with a space in the file name because of the pfsinhdrgen limitation.
