Dynamic Photo HDR vs EnfuseGUI

Dynamic Photo HDR is Windows software for merging exposures into HDR images or creating an HDR-style result from one image. It supports RAW files and provides tone mapping that ranges from smooth, natural treatments to dramatic or painterly effects. Source images can be aligned automatically, manually, or with auto-assist. An anti-ghosting mask lets users paint over moving objects in source shots, while batch processing queues images and can align them automatically. The editing toolkit includes effect layers and effects such as Orton, Sepia, Black/White, Vignette, and Mysterious Light. Real-time preview and advanced denoising are listed, along with Match Color for matching a tone-mapped image to another photo or painting. Output formats include JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF, Targa, 16-bit TIFF, and layered PSD. The product page identifies version 6.1, build 14/11/2017. It is described as a 64-bit Windows application, with a 32-bit version also linked. The listed price is $59 as a one-time purchase.

EnfuseGUI is a desktop application that creates high dynamic range images by blending photographs made at different exposures. Swipeware describes uses including combining room and window exposures, night photography, and focus stacking. It accepts TIFF and JPEG files plus raw formats such as NEF, CR2, and DNG. Align Image Stack helps line up hand-held shots before blending. Batch processing and multi-processor use support larger sets of images, and EXIF data transfers to the final image. The maker describes EnfuseGUI as a graphical interface exposing all options of the Enfuse engine. It runs on Windows and macOS. A 30-day free trial is available inside the application after downloading and installing it. One license key activates the application on two computers.
