Note that match-n-shift now does exactly this when creating a new project from a list of photos, and it works very well, particularly for sequences of photos taken on auto-white-balance.
It uses the RedBalance/BlueBalance calculation from Image::ExifTool, which normalises differerent manufacturer's tags for recording this info. There is no reason why Hugin couldn't be made to do the same, though it will have to recreate the code from Image::ExifTool if there is no equivalent in exiv2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Hugin Bug Hunters, which is subscribed to Hugin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/679977 Title: Add support for EXIF colour balance data Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged Bug description: (This is a short project suitable for an initial Hugin patch) Hugin currently reads photo EXIF metadata for aperture, shutterspeed and ISO setting, it uses this to initialise the EV parameter for each photo, this is useful for bracketed sets and for situations where the camera was set to 'auto-exposure'. It then sets a global project-wide EV parameter to the average of all these EV settings. Something similar can be done for colour-balance EXIF metadata, however Hugin doesn't have (or need) a global colour balance setting. Hugin should be patched to read the EXIF WBRedLevel and WBBlueLevel for input photos, these are unitless and can be used as scale factors for the Er and Eb parameters for each photo. Since Hugin doesn't have a global colour balance setting, the Er and Eb parameters need to be each scaled relative to the average WBRedLevel and WBBlueLevel of all photos in the project. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~hugin-bug-hunters Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~hugin-bug-hunters More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
