Exposure blending: combining images taken at different exposures into one image with increased dynamic range
Tone Mapping: processing a High Dynamic Range (HDR) image to compress its tonal range while preserving local contrast.
The result is an image that you can display on standard monitors, while preserving the details of the original scene in highlights and shadows.
Jaspers DRIMaker 1.21
Jaspers DRIMaker - automatically create HDRI pictures from your photos more>>
So in the end, the manual technique that people do in e.g. Photoshop, is simulated.
You will find more information about this kind of technique on this page. Everything you need is an exposure sequence in JPEG/TIFF format.
My aim in this implementation is to get the most natural results, as i think that for photographers the whole DRI thing is made to compensate the bad dynamic range of digital sensors. If the final image has a greater dynamic range than the human eyes could normally adapt to, you have gone much too far imho.
Enhancements:
- Saving is possible again (in v1.2 was a missing connection!)

Hydra 2.1.3
Hydra is created as an effective editor tool using a number of regular photographs (up to four) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what ones eye can see more>>
Hydra 2.1.3 is created as an effective editor tool using a number of regular photographs (up to four) with different exposures (darker and lighter) to create a superior one which is much closer to what one's eye can see. This is because a single photograph cannot represent the full gamut of light because of physical limitations in the sensor. This process is also known as a high dynamic range, or HDR, imaging. See the screencast tutorials for more information on how to acquire such images with your camera.
The output produced by Hydra is much closer to what your eye actually sees. You don't have to choose whether to have a beautiful sky or buildings, take 2 photos (or more) with perfect parameters for each of them, then combine them with Hydra.
The images that Hydra uses are not required to be taken with a tripod, as it is usually the case with HDR software. Hydra uses the same warping algorithm as Morph Age, which permits the alignment of images with offsets above a few pixels. This is a unique feature that means you can take photos anywhere without a tripod to later blend them in Hydra. This will change your way of making HDRs.

HuginOSX 0.7.0
A panorama Tools frontend and photo stitching program. more>> A panorama Tools frontend and photo stitching program.
With HuginOSX you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.
HuginOSX uses the same open source library used by many other software including shareware like PTMac from Kekus Digital. HuginOSX is, however, free and you can start making panoramic photos without buying any expensive software or equipment.
You can use your usual digital camera to take photo, and HuginOSX can stitch number of photos together quite nicely.
For advanced users, HuginOSX also has many features available for making panorama with special equipment including two types of fisheye lenses.
Enhancements:
- Online help
- Hugin now has comprehensive help documentation for the
- entire user interface, the manual now includes glossary
- items explaining many panorama stitching and related
- photography concepts.
- Languages
- New translations include Slovak, Korean, Bulgarian and
- Spanish. This means that hugin is now usable with a total
- of twenty languages.
- New Assistant panel
- Creating simple panoramas is much easier, hugin now starts
- showing an Assistant with a simple 1-2-3 approach for
- loading images, aligning and creating the final output.
- The Assistant will estimate lens and camera parameters,
- then pick a suitable output projection and size, advanced
- options are still available for manual adjustment.
- Photometric model
- Previous versions of hugin and panotools had basic support
- for correcting vignetting and exposure differences between
- photos.
- This has been completely overhauled, hugin now internally
- uses the EMoR model for representing exposure
- photometrically. This means that the camera response curve,
- vignetting, colour balance and exposure can now be
- optimised in much the same way as geometrical properties
- such as position and lens distortion.
- The result is that blending between photos is better than
- ever before.
- HDR
- Previously hugin supported High Dynamic Range imaging
- solely by allowing stitching of HDR floating-point TIFF
- photos - These images themselves had to be created in
- another tool.
- Now, thanks to the internal photometric model, hugin can
- now create HDR output from normal exposure bracketed
- photos. The photos dont have to be perfectly-aligned,
- they dont even need to be nearly-aligned or have
- consistent exposure differences - The hugin optimiser will
- sort all this stuff out, and the stitcher will create
- OpenEXR or TIFF HDR output files for later tonemapping or
- use as lightprobes.
- Exposure blending
- HDR and tonemapping isnt for everybody, enfuse introduced
- exposure blending to the world, and hugin supports aligning
- and fusing bracketed stacks of photos, perfectly, all as
- part of the stitching process.
- So now with hugin-0.7.0 and enblend-3.2 you can create
- realistic, photographic panoramas that have no over-exposed
- or under-exposed areas.
- Makefile stitching
- hugin-0.7.0 introduces a new stitching back-end: previously
- the various stitching tools were executed directly by the
- GUI, now all the commands required to generate the output
- are written to a Makefile which is then processed
- independently of hugin itself.
- Aside from easier debugging and customisation; this
- background stitching allows you to get on with creating a
- new project while waiting for the previous job to finish -
- Stitching can also be deferred or shifted to another
- machine, even headless servers can now be used.
- Projections
- Hugin has always had the ability to save panoramas using
- simulated normal and fisheye lenses, or 360 degree
- cylindrical and spherical projections.
- Now a whole series of alternative cartographic mappings are
- available, of particular interest are the conformal
- stereographic and Mercator projections which can be used to
- show extremely large angles of view with no local
- distortion.
- Project templates
- Hugin project files can now be used as templates for new
- panorama projects. This is useful if you take a lot of
- panoramas with exactly the same camera positions.
- Other improvements
Theres a whole lot of other new stuff in this release:
- numbering in the control-point editor, straight-line
- control-points, numeric transform, clicking to rotate the
- preview, a straighten button, cropping of the output and
- probably more.
- Command-line tools
This release provides new command-line tools:
- align_image_stack: align a nearly-aligned stack of photos
- pto2mk: create a stitching Makefile from a pto project
- vig_optimise: optimise photometric parameters
- tca_correct: calculate lens chromatic aberration
- hugin_hdrmerge: assemble a bracketed stack to HDR
- matchpoint: classify control point features
- Control point generators
- Hugin doesnt yet ship with a Patent Free control point
- generator. So you either need to pick control points
- manually - Not as difficult as it sounds - or install and
- configure one of the following control-point generators as
plug-ins, in no particular order:
- autopano-sift-C
- panomatic
- Autopano-SIFT
- Autopano freeware version
- Upgrading
- Upgrading from previous versions of hugin should be
- seamless. If you do have problems with old settings, these
- can be reset in the Preferences by clicking Load defaults.

Exposure Merger 2.25.4

Exposure Merger 2.25.4 is considered as a simple and salutary freeware which is designed to build stereo photographs.
It offers an Exposure Merger function that can be used with non-stereo photographs, without taking into account the original stereo goal of the software. It takes an overexposed photograph and a subexposed photograph, and merge them together in a tunable way to build a new photograph taking only the well exposed parts of each original. It is also possible to produce 2 artificial exposures with a single photograph, using a gamma filter, and then to merge them together exactly like if it where 2 original differently exposed photographs.
