[ptx] HDR images and some ideas

[Vladimír Jícha]

Hello,

I'd like to ask you if it is possible to use Hugin to stitch LDR images 
into a HDR image. I think somebody was developing a tool to do it, but I 
can't remeber any details. Can you you point me some more information or 
eve better to a tutorial? I found one at 
http://www.panotools.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=HDR_workflow_with_hugin, 
but it seems to be quite complicated to me. Is there an easier way?

Also I have one feature request or suggestion. I know from my 
experiences, that Hugin is quite complicated for beginners. I think it 
would be useful to add something like one click mode or a wizzard. There 
are many things you can adjust, but is somebody just wants to stitch 3 
photos together, it can be done much more easily IMHO. I think that you 
can create a good looking panorama and ask the user just for 2 
parameters (except of  source images of course). You should ask him to 
mark one image as an anchor for exposure and position and then create a 
preview of the panorama (using autopano and PTOptimizer). You should 
then ask the user to adjust pitch of the anchored image to straighten up 
horizon if it is bent. Then I would use nona and Enblend to stitch the 
images. Or you might even add some quality/speed presets. What do you 
think? Is it possible to make it this way?

Many thanks and best regards,
Vlada
