This plugin allows you to create a HDR image without leaving Gimp.
Just create one layer for each exposure, call the plugin and a new layer will be added to your current image with the blend result.
- Gimp 2.8
- Enfuse 4.2
- Windows PC
- Download Enfuse 4.2 and save it to a folder
- Copy the file enfuse.py to the Gimp plugin folder
- Set the path of the Enfuse executable on the top of the script enfusePath = "C:\enfuse\bin\enfuse.exe". Don't forget the double slash to separate the folders.
- Start Gimp
- Open all the exposures as different layers of a single image
- Run the Enfuse plugin which is located in Filters → Combine → Enfuse
- Pick a temporary file folder. This is used for saving the intermediate working files. These will be deleted at the end of the process.
- Click OK. The process will begin and at the end the resulting image will be shown as a new layer.
- Find and kill bugs
- Move the Enfuse and Temp folder paths to the settings
- Allow user to set Enfuse parameters instead of using the defaults
- Add image alignment
This plugin was the original idea of Fernando Batista, a great friend and photographer and he's helping me testing and providing feedback and new ideas.
This is my first Gimp plugin and Python script so these resources got me through it. Thanks!
