Re: hugin

When you do the final stitching you have to check off what kind of
output you want. By default it will give you a jpg or tiff, but if you
look further down the stitching page you will find "High dynamic range
merged stacks".

That being said, I don't think that this is what you think it is. That
will output a HDR file which is an image that contains a lot more light
data than can be viewed directly in an image viewer. They are used
heavily in programs like blender or in video games.

What you are looking for is called tone mapping where you compress a
broader level of light data into a visible space, which is what
LuminanceHDR does.

I would stick with LuminanceHDR and just use it's interface to hugin to
align images properly.

doing it the other way around you would still have to load the HDR file
that hugin makes into LuminanceHDR so that you could get a visible image
out of it.

All that being said, you could select the "Exposure fused stack" option
in hugin and get an HDR image, but you have little to no control of how
the output will look, so you are better off using LuminanceHDR again.
