NAME

       luminance-hdr - GUI offering a workflow for HDR imaging

SYNOPSIS

       luminance-hdr

DESCRIPTION

       luminance-hdr is an open source graphical user interface application that aims to provide a workflow for HDR imaging.

       Supported HDR formats:

       o   OpenEXR (extension: exr)

       o   Radiance RGBE (extension: hdr)

       o   Tiff formats: 16bit, 32bit (float) and LogLuv (extension: tiff)

       o   Raw image formats (extension: various)

       o   PFS native format (extension: pfs)

       Supported LDR formats:

       o   JPEG, PNG, PPM, PBM, TIFF(8 bit)

       Supported features:

       o   Create an HDR file from a set of images (formats: JPEG, TIFF 8bit and 16bit, RAW) of the same scene taken at different exposure
	   setting.

       o   Save and load HDR images.

       o   Rotate and resize HDR images.

       o   Tonemap HDR images.

       o   Copy exif data between sets of images.

       o   Supports internationalization.

NAME

       pfsinrgbe - Load images or frames in Radiance RGBE format

SYNOPSIS

       pfsinrgbe [--linear] (<file> [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])  [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       pfsinrgbe  command  loads  images  in Radiance RGBE format and writes pfs stream to the Standard Output. The pfs stream is usually piped to
       another program for further processing. To detect the format automatically based on the extension, use pfsin command.

       Since RGBE is an HDR format, 'LUMINANCE' tag is set to 'RELATIVE' (relative linear luminance values).

       To read images from standard input use a single dash '-' instead of filename. The images are read until EOF is reached.

       Each file can contain a %d pattern, which is substituted with frame numbers. The pattern has the same syntax as C printf command. For exam-
       ple,  you  can  use  %04d to make the frame number four digit with proceedings zeros. You can select the frames using the following options
       (the options must be always given after the file name):

       --frames <range>
	      Range is given in mathlab / octave format:

	      startframe:step:endframe

	      Frame numbers start with startframe (default 0), are increased by step (default 1) and stop at endframe You can skip  one  of  those
	      values, for example 1:100 for frames 1,2,...,100 and 0:2: for frame 0,2,4,... up to the last file that exists.

       --skip-missing
	      Skip  up	to  ten frames in a row if corresponding files are missing. Otherwise the program stops reading sequence at the first file
	      that does not exists. This switch does not apply to the first frame in a sequence. This switch can be useful if there is a  rendered
	      animation where some of the frame has not been generated.

       --linear
	      Ignored for compatibility with pfsinppm.

EXAMPLES

       pfsinrgbe intro%d.hdr frame%d.hdr | ...

	      Concatenate two animations into one and pass it to pipe for further processing.

IMPORTANT NOTE

       There  is  an incompatibility between viewers of RGBE format in terms of absolute luminance values. The ximage viewer from Radiance package
       expects radiance values in RGBE files and uses the WHITE_EFFICACY constant equal to 179.0f to convert from radiance to luminance.  This	in
       practice  means that the values displayed with pfsview maybe higher than expected. To compensate for this incompatibility we suggest to use
       pfsabsolute command:

       pfsinrgbe measured_luminance.hdr | pfsabsolute 1 179 | pfsview

       This is not necessary when RGBE files are saved using pfsoutrgbe, Radiance package, mkhdr or Photospheare. This is also not  relevant  when
       only relative absolute values are considered.
