enfuse_pro plugin - cross-platform compatible

yteaot · September 2, 2019, 4:09pm

I think 1 create luarc with the programs I wish is wrong

TRY THIS
delete your luarc file

You can also create or add lines to the luarc file from the command line:

echo 'require "contrib/gimp"' > ~/.config/darktable/luarc to create the file with a gimp entry
or echo 'require "contrib/hugin"' >> ~/.config/darktable/luarc to add an entry for hugin.
or echo 'require "contrib/enfuseAdvance"' >> ~/.config/darktable/luarc to add an entry for enfuseAdvance.

I sed ealier:
I’ve got to work only enfuseAdvance.lua copied from GitHub - BzKevin/enfuse_pro_2-dt-plugin: Updated version of Holger Klemm's enfuse_pro plugin for darktable
if hugin and gimp works but enfuseAdvanced not try enfuseAdvanced from that site

@yteaot
Finally, I arrived at the port thanks to a patient and knowledgeable pilot who helped me past a couple of grits on the road.
Without your help, I would never have done this. Have installed many programs using DEB files and PPA,
but this was brand new to me. Even LUA is unknown country to me.
The change of enfuseAdvanced.lua was the last piece of the puzzle. Thought I got that version when I used git. I’m sorry I misunderstood you there.
Don’t know how to thank you!

Congratulations!

Are you from Sveden? I am from Finland.

Which version of enfuseAdvanced the git version or BzKevin version works?

Have you seen this german tutorial?

alfwerner · September 3, 2019, 12:26pm

@yteaot

The git version did not work so I switched to the one you suggested.

Oh, we’re neighbors! If you want, please contact me at alfwerner@bredband.net

For focus stacking I am not getting proper results

I am using the default parameters
If I use terminal with minimum parameters like
align_image_stack -m -a OUT imageFiles(20 total) which creates OUT0000 to OUT0020 .tif files
then I use
enfuse --exposure-weight=0 --saturation-weight=0 --contrast-weight=1 --hard-mask --output=output.tif OUT*.tif
and Get

I think the additional parameters which I cannot disable makes the result bad.

Any Help?

wpferguson · November 12, 2019, 5:32pm

There is an issue with the enfuseAdvanced plugin and I’ve been working on a fix. Part of the issue is providing presets that work straight out of the box. Unfortunately, real life has not given me much time to work on it lately. Hopefully that will change soon…

BzKevin · November 13, 2019, 5:03pm

Unfortunately I am in the same boat as Bill. Life has been very hectic for me lately and I’ve had no time to dedicate to photography or my plug-ins.

Something that may be helpful is to run darktable with LUA debugging turned on and to review the log files so we can compare your Command Line string with the string generated via the program.

You can enable the debug logfile by starting darktable with “-d lua” behind it. On windows I open a CMD window in the folder where my darktable application is installed and type “darktable -d lua”.

The log file can be found at location described here (windows OS): https://www.darktable.org/about/faq/#faq-windows-logs

BzKevin · November 26, 2019, 2:56pm

OK, just some notes to myself to help troubleshoot what’s happening. Thanks for these log files!

Blend Start Command: “/Applications/Hugin/PTBatcherGUI.app/Contents/MacOS/enfuse” --exposure-weight=0.0 --saturation-weight=0.0 --contrast-weight=1.0 --exposure-optimum=0.0 --exposure-width=0.0 --hard-mask --contrast-window-size=5 --contrast-edge-scale=0.0 --contrast-min-curvature=0.0% --depth=16 --compression=98 --output=’/Volumes/HackSSD/Stacking_Focus_Exposure/godetia_stack04_1200w/D2X_0204-0224_01.jpg’

compares to

enfuse --exposure-weight=0 --saturation-weight=0 --contrast-weight=1 --hard-mask --output=output.tif OUT*.tif

So here we have potentially extraneous commands:
exposure width : 0
contrast window size = 5
contrast edge scale = 0
contrast min curvature = 0
depth = 16
compression = 98

and

Align Start Command: “/Applications/Hugin/Hugin.app/Contents/MacOS/align_image_stack” -m -g 5 -c 8 -t 3 --corr=0.9 --gpu -a ‘/var/folders/3x/vz2846ts5tbddfbcmf5_d2zr0000gn/T/aligned_’

compares to

align_image_stack -m -a OUT

gives us possible extraneous commands:
-g 5 … this is default according to panotools manual
-c 8 … this is default according to panotools manual
-t 3 … this is default according to panotools manual
-corr 0.9 … this is default according to panotools manual
–gpu … this should not be causing the problem

Since your example image looks like an alignment issue I’ll focus on that rather then the blend command. Are you able to provide the images so I can attempt to replicate myself? High quality JPEGs should be sufficient.

@Rajkhand @BzKevin There is a copyright on the image set. Please use and work on other images here. Also, for output with many lines enclose it with back ticks. After a certain height, it will truncate the field. Like so:

Sorry didn’t know how to post long line will do it next time. The images are from helicon focus site as long as you don’t remove the water mark I think it is ok. There are other images there too.

st.raw · April 13, 2020, 2:01pm

Does the script works with dt 3.0.1 on Windows?

I have the script installed. The require "contrib/enfuseAdvanced" is in the luarc (and nothing else).

I get the DRI or DFF image in dt. I do not get the LUA tab in dt preferences though. My Hugin is 2019.2.0

My aim is focus stacking. I do get something processing, but no image getting saved.

Do I missed something?

paperdigits · April 13, 2020, 3:04pm

What do your logs say?

st.raw · April 14, 2020, 3:24am

Easier said than done This page points me to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\darktable\darktable-log.txt

Well, no such folder.

paperdigits · April 14, 2020, 4:50am

If you put the hello world lua example in your lua file, does it print when you start darktable?

print("Hello World !")

Tobias · April 14, 2020, 7:14am

You have to replace [username] with your username.

st.raw · April 14, 2020, 1:07pm

No kiddin’!

Even though I state “view hidden files” the \INetCache\ folder does not show for me. However, I do get the darktable-log.txt when I do a search.

I do get “Hallo World!”. That was sort of clear because I do get the enfuse export options.

The darktable-log.txt was sort of empty, so I started dt from CMD with: "C:\Program Files\darktable\bin\darktable.exe" -d all

I get then just two enfuse references:

I also wonder why I don’t get the LUA option in preferences? I presume enfuseAdvanced.lua might was written for pre 3.0.* and simply doesn’t work in the latest version?

Have you downloaded the complete tree or just the enfuseAdvanced.lua file?
You need at least:
lib\dtutils.file.lua
lib\dtutils.system.lua
lib\dtutil.lua
locale\

No, then you would get the error: “This application is written for lua api version XXX or later.”
I have no windows here, but can you try to replace the ‘/’ with ‘\’ in line 71.

st.raw · April 15, 2020, 12:32am

I did the git from https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts.git, so those files and folders are there. They are not called in luarc though. Do I need to call them?

That’s:
gettext.bindtextdomain('enfuseAdvanced',dt.configuration.config_dir..'/lua/locale/')

I changed 1,2,3 / to \ or \\ (all options) - no change. I do get the LUA GUI for the contrib/image_stack module (that also uses ‘/’).

My complete luarc looks like this:
require "contrib/enfuseAdvanced"
-- require "contrib/image_stack"

Tobias · April 15, 2020, 3:36pm

No.

Please undo the changes I suggested, that was wrong.

I looked closer at the script.

You can’t find any options because there are no options in the preferences.
Just select “DRI or DFF image” as storage option:
