EnfuseGUI vs Photomatix Essentials

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.
