Enblend combines images that overlap like this into a single large image with no seams. Enfuse combines images that overlap like this into a single image with good exposure and good focus.

Both programs assume that your images are already lined up. To make panoramas with Enblend and/or Enfuse, use Hugin.

News

8 September 2008: Version 3.2 of Enblend and Enfuse are now available.
  • This is the first official release of Enfuse: a tool for automatic exposure blending and focus stack creation.
  • Added support for reading JPEG, PNG and OpenEXR files.
  • Added support for writing JPEG output files (8 bit only).
  • Bugfix to correctly interpret the alpha channel of float (HDR) images.
  • New --compression option for selecting the compression type of the output image.
  • This release includes a Windows binary that does not require a SSE2-capable processor.
  • There will not be a 3.1 release. This is to avoid confusion with the numerous CVS snapshot releases that self-identify as version 3.1.
27 January 2007: Version 3.0 of Enblend is now available.
  • New, faster image processing algorithms for computing Gaussian and Laplacian pyramids.
  • Optional optimization of seam line placement to try to avoid mismatches and parallax errors in the image overlap region.
  • Masks can now be saved and loaded from files. This makes it possible to manually edit the location of the seam before multiresolution spline blending is applied.
  • Checkpointing of partial results is now optional. This improves speed.
  • Optional blending using the CIECAM02 color appearance model. Your TIFF files should have embedded ICC profiles in order to use this option. This replaces the CIE L*a*b* color blending in Enblend 2.X that never worked properly.
  • Optional use of the graphics processor to speed up certain computations. This feature is experimental and may not work on all systems.
  • Like other X.0 releases, please consider this a beta.
11 December 2005: Version 2.5 of Enblend is now available. This release fixes bugs in version 2.4.
  • Fixed a bug where Enblend would crash when the -w parameter was used.
  • Fixed a bug where Enblend would sometimes say "mask transition line bounding box undefined."
3 December 2005: Version 2.4 of Enblend is now available.
  • Added support for cropped and shifted TIFF files, such as those produced by Nona.
  • Enblend will now create output files with embedded ICC profiles, if a profile is found in one of the input images.
  • Improved the speed of the mask generation algorithm.
  • See the complete release notes at Sourceforge.
17 April 2005: Version 2.3 of Enblend is now available. This release fixes bugs in version 2.2.
  • The maximum number of levels you can specify with the -l parameter has been reduced from 30 to 29. While both of these are impractically large, at least 29 does not lead to arithmetic overflow and a subsequent crash.
  • Fixed a bug in temporary file handling in the Windows version of Enblend. This should solve the "unable to open temporary file" error.
5 February 2005: Version 2.2 of Enblend is now available. This release fixes some issues with the Windows binary. If you are using Enblend on UNIX, you do not need to upgrade.
  • The Windows version should now run on pre-Win2K systems.
  • Support for additional TIFF compression methods such as Deflate and Packbits is compiled into the Windows binary.
15 November 2004: Version 2.1 of Enblend is now available. This release fixes bugs in version 2.0.
  • Compression is no longer the default option in Windows.
  • TIFF library warning messages have been turned off.
  • Fixed a bug that caused primary-color spots to appear in overexposed areas of 16-bpp images.
  • Fixed a problem with Enblend crashing on large panoramas.
  • Ported source to compile natively on Win32 using MSVC.
8 November 2004: Enblend is now hosted on Sourceforge. The new project page features forums, trackers, CVS and more.
17 October 2004: Version 2.0 of Enblend is now available. New features include:
  • Support for signed and unsigned 16-bit, 32-bit, single- and double-precision floating point pixel types.
  • No more banding artifacts in the sky, even with 8-bit images.
  • Sophisticated memory/disk balancing. You can tell Enblend how much memory it is allowed to use, and it will swap to disk after that.
  • Support for large panoramas. I have tested that Enblend can blend a 1.2 gigapixel, 16-bit per channel color image. You should be able to go right up to 4 gigabyte limit of the TIFF format.
  • Optional blending in CIE L*a*b* color space.
23 May 2004: Version 1.3 of Enblend is now available. This update fixes issues on big-endian architectures. If you are using a little-endian machine you do not need to update.
