Enfuse support in Rawstudio
I’ve been working on Enfuse support in Rawstudio for quite a while and now it’s ready for some testing :D
It was added to trunk yesterday and packages are ready in our Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu.
A quick guide:
- Select photo(s) and press ctrl-alt-e (or find Enfuse in Photo menu).
- Adjust settings and update thumbnail by clicking on it .
- When you are happy with the thumbnail, click “Execute” and wait for the finished result to be opened.
Some notes:
- You might have noticed that I’ve written “photo(s)” in the first step above – you can select just one photo and Rawstudio will help you export different exposures from that photo and you might get a better result than the initial photo (or not).
- To get as high a quality as possible, Rawstudio exports photos in 16bit PNG and Enfuse hands it back to Rawstudio as 16bit PNG. Even though the files are PNG, the extension are “rse” (RawStudio Enfuse) to make the files easy to identify.
- Be patient! I’ve done a lot to speed the process up as much as possible, but exporting, aligning and enfusing full size photos does take time!
- Photos that have been enfused might need some extra work as you are used to with RAW :)
Well, go ahead and give it a try – I’d like to get some comments on it (here or at http://bugzilla.rawstudio.org/)
I’ve made a few screen captures of it in use. This is the speed I have on my relatively slow laptop. Check them out below…

Hi,
Good job!
This is what I’m dreaming about for RawStudio. Is it possible to implement tone mapping in the future?
Cheers

It’s not planned to include tone mapping. Enfuse was easy, I think tone mapping is a whole other matter – at least I have no idea how to do it. But you are welcome to submit it as a feature request in the bugzilla along with some suggestions :)
Finally a sign of life :)
Enfuse feature is a great addition to Rawstudio.
However, it works a little bit random so far. Selecting photo/s, setting parameteres, thumbnail – that work almost flawless. But after ‘Execute’ progress bar sometimes stops at 1/5. In terminal I can see, that process ‘enfuse’ (enfuse-mp) doesn’t show up.
And the strangest part – ‘sometimes’ means sometimes – the same photo sometimes enfuses fine, sometimes not (with the same params). Maybe it’s stupid, but I’ve feeling, enfuse called from menu is more stable than by ctl+alt+e.
Interesting! I haven’t seen it hanging at least once while working on it (way too long).
The command for enfusing the thumbnail is exactly the same, except it works with 8 bit and is exported with quick filters. Does it ever fail?
Menu or shortcut is the same as far as I know, otherwise it’s some odd GTK thing.
Okay, to the attempt of finding out something about this. Can you check in /tmp/ after a hang – there should be exports in .rawstudio*.png and check the files (open with GIMP or whatever). Does the terminal show the filenames with a number between 0 and 255 behind?
I was able to hang up enfuse in two ways. Thumbnails creation always run fine, but then:
1. There’s no any progress in the progress window (blank), /tmp is emtpy, text output shows only log from generating thumbnails:
enfuse: warning: will use 300 dpi
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-0.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-1_-0.5.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-2_0.5.png 1/1
command: mv /tmp/.rawstudio-temp.png /home/dane/DSC_6783_02.rse
Total execution time: 4.95
2. Progress bar stops at 1/5, text output shows a little more, in /tmp there are png files (so many as should):
enfuse: warning: will use 300 dpi
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-0.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-1_-0.5.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-2_-1.0.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-3_0.5.png 1/1
enfuse: info: loading next image: /tmp/.rawstudio-enfuse-4_1.0.png 1/1
command: mv /tmp/.rawstudio-temp.png /home/dane/DSC_6783_02.rse

Hi! I really like the implementation of enfuse in rawstudio and for me it works well with my Sony a900. It does however not work with my Nex-7-files, I think it is because I cannot add a colour profile to it (but the colours are correct and normal processing works fine). I do not even get a thumbnail when using enfuse. Is there a workaround?
I try to compile on OpenSuse 12.3 and I get the error:
application.o: In function `main’:
/home/hans/SOURCES/rawstudio-2.0RC2/src/application.c:707: undefined reference to `g_thread_init’
Any idea’s?
Hi! great to see that Enfuse is supported in Rawstudio. But enfuse as another use joining multiple images with different focus point to get a greater depth of field, is this possible in Rawstudio?
I did some experiments and it is possible, but you will need to tweak a lot of options that varies for each set of images captured – so it cannot be done as simple as this. It exists in the code, but is disabled because I wasn’t able to make an UI for it…
And is there any chance that it will be enabled in the future ? :)
