enfuse/enblend discussions?

[paul womack]

Is this the right list for enfuse/enblend questions?

And (if not) can someone point me at the right list/forum please?

Until proof of the contrary, yes. Fire away.

Well, I was a little worried by this:

http://www.stackrail.info/index.php/webshop/product/189-snapfuse-image-fusion-software

SnapFuse Image Fusion Software

The capabilities sound ... familiar,
it's on sale at $52.00, and I don't see any reference
to source.

There's not much information there. What makes you think it could be
a ripoff of enfuse/enblend?

I didn't see him asking any questions (on any forum) about developing such software,
algorithms etc. Snapfuse suddenly appeared, fully formed.

It also does both HDR and Focus stacking.

I don't think I asked any questions before releasing multiblend, more-or-less fully formed (in fact I had previously developed some more complex GUI software for image blending, but never released it). The ideas behind enblend/enfuse aren't protected; the enblend documentation itself goes beyond simple usage and is most helpful in explaining how it works. Nor was enblend the first to implement these ideas.

HDR and focus stacking are fairly obvious extensions of the basic enblend idea (they don't gel well with the mask compression used in multiblend, otherwise I would have added them more-or-less "for free").
