                   +-> imagemagick Mean +|

All pp3 are equal except for the darker image which has been darkened of 1/3 stop to recover highlights.
In gimp I’ve merged the enfuse and mean images and further worked them after frequency separation

enfuse-hdr01-Mean-rt-gimp-8bit

RT invoked as:

rawtherapee-cli -s -b16 -tz \
                -o ../tmp1/${dst} \
                -c *.dng *.RAF *.NEF *.ARW

aligned with:

align_image_stack -v \
            -p review.pto \
            -a ais_ \
            --gpu \
            --corr=0.95 \
            -c 24 \
            -t 15 \
            -m \
            --use-given-order \
            *.tif

enfuse HDR (which I didn’t like very much this time)

enfuse --blend-colorspace ciecam --depth=16 \
    --saturation-weight=0.6 --contrast-weight=0.2 --entropy-weight=0.2 \
    --hard-mask \
    --output=fused/enfuse-${d}.tif \
    tmp2/${d}/*.tif

Mean of images (which strangely gave better results)

convert  \
            -depth 16 \
            tmp2/${dst}/*.tif \
            -evaluate-sequence Mean \
            merged/${i}-${dst}.tif
